Family tree of The Phantom (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

Contested prod, with the suggestion that it should be merged somewhere, without indication where that should be. Original reason for deletion: WP:NOT#PLOT: this is a purely in-universe part of the plot without real world importance. Fails WP:NOTE as well. I don(t think including this in another article would be helpful in any way. The article Phantom (comics) has a section "Family", where the only contents are a link to this article. To include this family tree into the Phantom article would not help any reader in understanding the Phantom article, and the fictional character biography is quite long enough already.

• Merge. This article is doubly mis-named, as the “The” should be “the”, and as we're talking about a Scandinavian variant of Falk's character. Of course, were the article titled “Family Tree of the Phantom in the Scandinavian Variant”, it would be immediately apparent that this is really minutiæ. I do not agree that the article should simply be deleted, especially as I do not relish the thought of forever being branded with a skull mark! —SlamDiego_←T 20:26, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think these minutiae should be kept anyway, even if in another article? Excessive detail is excessive no matter where you place it, I would think... 20:50, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Unless one of the comics specifically printed this tree, it is synthesised and therefore original research. - Mgm|^(talk) 23:35, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge With The Phantom article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:17, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete No sources provided. No notability established the characters in the tree. No inclusion criteria for expanding it. xschm (talk) 21:08, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete no sources so fails WP:V and also looks like WP:OR. (Emperor (talk) 20:07, 12 November 2008 (UTC))[reply]
