Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alice on the Internet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A poorly written article with a poorly written title about Alice from Alice in Wonderland on the Internet. Delete on the grounds that Wikipedia is not a web guide, and should not have articles about an entity's presence on the Internet separate from the article about that entity itself.

  • delete, not encyclopedic. Dunc_Harris| 18:42, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Agree with delete in this case, but we should be careful about general pronouncements such as the above. An article on E-commerce or New Media would be respectively about "entities" commerce and journalism, "on the web".--Samuel J. Howard 21:31, Aug 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • I've been puzzling over this one. Of all the fictional characters snatched up and manipulated by the Internet, Alice has been one of the most mangled and reshaped. So, do we talk about that as a phenomenon? Possibly. At the same time, this is somewhat journalistic, somewhat a commentary that creates the subject it reports on (i.e. there is not something out there called Alice on the Internet that needs an article; there is Alice as she is on the Internet that is getting commented upon). A very weak delete, or the contributor could be asked to write up a section on Alice in Wonderland on Internet uses of the character. Geogre 00:19, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge/redirect to Alice in Wonderland]. Not that I think the redirect would be that useful, however. Gwalla | Talk 02:16, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • This does not fit any of our normal deletion categories. On the other hand, "there's no 'there' there" for the article. Tentative delete because I can't even begin to guess how this could be cleaned up. Rossami 22:59, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
