DeMontfort University

Delete or Merge. Fictional university in obscure web comic--not notable --Krishva 08:47, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to the real De Montfort University. Since the fictional university does not exist or have any influence outside of a not particularly famous comic, people who would look for it would look for the comic. Can probably lose the disambig on the top of De Montfort University article as well. Average Earthman 09:42, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect agreed --Doc (?) 12:58, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Have DeMontfort University and Richter Hall merged, as three separate comics popular in the furry fandom (The Class Menagerie, i.s.o. and The Suburban Jungle) include them both as locations. If they are less notable separately, they are more centralized together. The name DeMontfort has no relation to the real university in England, and the names are coincidental. See also Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Richter Hall. - Gilgamesh 13:17, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Vote put up on VfD by user who (along with one or two others) are attempting to have deleted or speedily deleted every furry-related page on Wikipedia. Almafeta 14:35, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge, along with Richter Hall, and inserted as sections of The Class Menagerie article. These articles do not stand by itself strong enough to merit its own articles. Please note I have removed the personal attack made by the user Almafeta against the user Krishva. -- Grumpyhan 15:13, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Please do not edit another user's comments. Almafeta 15:18, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Then, please do not assume other users' intentions and jump to conclusions. Every furry-related page! - Grumpyhan 15:35, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • But what about i.s.o. which takes place at DeMontfort and Richter, and also The Suburban Jungle which has had chapters take place there as well? - Gilgamesh 15:26, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Then I would suggest redirecting the links of both locations in i.s.o. and The Suburban Jungle to sections in The Class Menagerie. - Grumpyhan 15:35, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • But TCM is discontinued, and i.s.o. is active. All new canonical stories dealing with DeMontfort and Richter are in i.s.o. now. - Gilgamesh 16:40, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't appreciate personal attacks. I am not out to delete every furry related page on Wikipedia, I'm out to delete or merge pages for irrelevant or redundant topics. There is no reason not to merge this and Richter Hall with The Class Menagerie or one of the other comics these places appear in. Directing links to sections of an article is not exactly hard. --Krishva 04:00, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. If there's no standalone entry for, say, Robot Hell from Futurama, there doesn't need to be one for this.216.158.31.195 17:03, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • The difference between this and that is that Robot Hell is only in Futurama, and not also in, say, The Simpsons. This is a topic shared across multiple story series. - Gilgamesh 17:43, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • The difference between this and that is that Futurama is arguably general pop culture, whereas the three story series you reference occupy a niche (webcomics) of a niche culture (furrydom). 216.158.31.195 18:17, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • So? Since when do niche interests of niche cultures not deserve due attention? - Gilgamesh 20:20, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Gamaliel 18:18, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into I.s.o. but redirect to De Montfort University. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 02:49, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
