THANK  you. This is the type of unhelpful guideline that only serves to
encourage  people to delete well-written, interesting, and useful content
from  Wikipedia because they personally don't like it.


Actually, the WP:FICT rewrite strongly discourages deletion and highly  
suggests using other methods, such as merging, transwiki, or cleanup. The fact  of 
the matter is that notability on Wikipedia is established by coverage in  
secondary sources. With respect fo fiction, secondary sources cover  
out-of-universe information. Therefore, for fiction to be encyclopedic, it has  to have 
out-of-universe information either in the article or available (proof  should be 
provided). It's not about "interesting" material or material people  "don't 
like".
