Fanfiction.net timeline

The content of this article is duplicated in the Fan fiction article, and should only be in one place. (Perhaps where it really belongs is in the article on Fanfiction.net?) *Dan* 01:47, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

We need to preserve the edit history if it's merged, the rest of the page should NOT be deleted, but redirected. Mgm|^(talk) 16:00, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

Merge (without redirect) to Fanfiction.net, but only the things that are useful/remotely interesting to anyone except devotees of the site's mailing list. "On June 23, Cassandra Claire's supporters react with a certain degree of rage on various mailing lists and message boards. Other fan fiction communities go 'Huh? What's going on?' " This sort of stuff is useless. --bainer (talk) 02:03, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This reads as violently POV. If it is going to be kept in any way, I request a thorough going-over with the NPOV brush. That said, FF.N is a recognised phenomenon, and perhaps its history is worthy of record. --Simon Cursitor 07:41, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Merge to Fanfiction.net, this is mistitled but a number of the legal issues here are interesting. R adiant _* 09:28, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
Delete or Selectively Merge into the Fanfiction.net article. Most of it is pretty non-notable (users getting banned, categories getting deleted, etc.) Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:52, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
Purge and merge, fancraftcruft. the wub (talk) 14:56, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Merge selectively as per Starblind. Some of this would improve the parent article; much, however, is clear vanity. --InShaneee 15:30, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Merge to fanfiction.net and let the editors who know about it sort out the neutrality issue. I was around there at the time of the Cassandra Claire incident and it should be included in the timeline in some form as it was the first major plagiarism case there. Mgm|^(talk) 15:57, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
- Maybe a job for EasyTimeline? Mgm|^(talk) 16:00, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
Merge into Fanfiction.net. Almafeta 18:49, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Merge with Fanfiction.net. There is some valid information here that would benefit the original article after some improvement. MegaSlicer 23:40, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Merge, which pretty much has been done, which means Delete. Ambush Commander 21:24, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
