Like I said... blocking TTN for an hour or two or even indefinitely wouldn't
solve the problem.
The real issue at hand is that we are at a forking road and we need to
decide which way we want to go:
The main problem is a lack of consensus. A solid consensus for or against
the mass removal of fiction related articles would suffice.

When you merge the wording of the GFDL requires that you preserve the
history (a really really bad choice of words). Can be done close
enough through a history merge but most users don't/can't do that.

Won't it satisfy the licence just to point to the other articles
