Original research. Most details are completly made up and are assumtions by fans. It never appears in the game or in published information by the game creator. Jareand 01:28, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• The talk page has some very interesting things indeed to say about the origins of this page. It's not the worst fanfic I've ever read, but it's still fanfic, and Wikipedia is not fanfiction.net. Delete. Lord Bob 03:51, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Conditional Keep. Currently the page is original research, and as such all the assertions should be removed. However, if they were, there was a story to the games, and it may be notable enough to include in Wikipedia. Hence, my condition is that someone spends a lot of time non-original-researching it. If no-one is willing to do this, or someone can convince me that the story is nn, I will change to delete. Batmanand 22:00, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. The base story is what it is described in the game. The make up part is to "fill the gap". May switch to deleteSYSS Mouse 17:52, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Re. Yes I agree, but the stuff used to fill the gap in the article is completley fanfic (and some of it contradicts the game and info from the game developers, if I may add), it's based on nothing from the game. For example, here is a good story about the same game. In it the author bases the gap filler on actual stuff in the game. Nothing is completely made up. Jareand 19:05, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and Cleanup, alot of research and effort has been put into writing this article (which is more than I can say of rampant deletionists on here) therefore I vote to keep it with the expectation that it will continue to be reworked. Piecraft 17:00, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, it's verifiable and wiki isn't paper. It doesn't come under any point at What Wikipedia is not. ··gracefool |☺ 18:26, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Yes it does. Large sections of the text are original research, and as fan fiction,

also inherently unverifiable. --Icelight 05:51, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Fan fiction. Without prejudice though, so if an entirely new article that isn't based on filling in gaps to create a complete story, but rather chronologues the events as they happen in game, is written it can take this article's place. --Icelight 05:51, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
