Merge or delete - should be a section of another Buffy article, not a standalone article. I'm not sure about the OR question, which would swing the balance between merge and delete. It does appear to have been well-researched and the concept of borrowing or paying homage is certainly not new or unique to Buffy. Paddles 15:14, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge anything passing WP:FICT that isn't already covered by Melchoir's comment, or just delete. I agree with Paddles' last comment. And all Buffista fancruft sites fail to meet WP:RS. Barno 01:27, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge The literary and pop-cultural references and homages of a popular television series is a fine topics, but the information really should go in a) the main Buffy the Vampire Slayer article, or b) the individual episodes' articles. - CNichols 21:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - very good article -- better than most other buffy articles — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.221.35 (talk • contribs) Could this be User:Gpscholar?
