Water Tribe

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A completely in-universe description of a fictional nation in a television series. This article was actually merged into Universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender a long time ago, which was then merged into the main Avatar: The Last Airbender article. It wasn't notable then, and isn't notable now. — Parent5446 ☯ ^{(msg email)} 03:40, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages:

Comment So where should information (appropriately trimmed) be kept? I can agree that this long of a treatment of the fictional element is excessive, but not that it should be obliterated from the encyclopedia. It sounds like it was previously merged into oblivion, so where's the right balance between "nothing" and "too much"? Jclemens (talk) 17:05, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If there is any information that is significant enough to be kept, it should be placed in the main article. These articles existed previously, and were merged into a giant Universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender, where it became apparent that we were just trying to preserve a repository of unnecessary plot detail. — Parent5446 ☯ ^{(msg email)} 02:29, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Both articles are a plot-only description of a fictional work and lack references independent of the subject from third-party sources. The topics themselves do not meet the general notability guideline, being unneeded content forks of the articles Avatar: The Last Airbender and List of Avatar: The Last Airbender characters. Also, the articles are written with an in-universe perspective that lacks real-world perspective. Jfgslo (talk) 18:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've verified (via edit summaries, not diffs) that both Water Tribe and Air Nomads were merged into Universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender near its creation. I did not find where the Universe article was merged to the main article or to anywhere else. Flatscan (talk) 05:09, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - both topics fail to meet Wikipedia:Notability. They have no sections with reception, parodies, impact in popular culture, etc. --LoЯd ۞pεth 07:44, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
