Talk:Pluto Knights

Hard to find fanworks for these guys

I've been trying to find any fanworks regarding these guys. Pluto Knights are quite obscure side characters, that aren't even playable. I've searched in Pixiv, Twitter and Tumblr with not much luck. https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Laudo%20(Final%20Fantasy%20IX)/works This is the AO3 tag for one of them. It is canonical, but has zero fanworks. A few months ago, the Charmander article was deleted for not having enough content. Would this one qualify for deletion too? The information about the Pluto Knights isn't much either and can be mentioned in the main FFIX article. While I'm at it. I think most of the non playable characters for this FF edition have the same issue as this one, and I doubt they'll ever be more than stubs. Alpha

No fanworks in the internet about these guys Alpha (talk) 16:48, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

You are right, we have deleted articles before if there wasn't a fandom for the subject. Maybe this one is a microfandom? I know next to nothing about Final Fantasy but I'd like to suggest you place the propose deletion template on the page and start a discussion. SecurityBreach (talk) 09:45, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

It is a small (and old) fandom, but unlike other obscure characters, these have no fannish content to add at all. I hesitated to use the template as it says "this tag should only be used by gardeners and members of the Fanlore:Fanlore Committee." but I'll add it as well as the discussion. Thank you!

Yes, you are right again! This template should only be used by gardeners or members of the Fanlore committee. My bad, so sorry! Still, I hesitate to put the template here because there were several cases of fandoms that shone bright for a short time and then just burned out (see: Overnight Fandom). But since you say there are no fanworks to be found online, this might not be the case here? SecurityBreach (talk) 13:43, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

I would say not to delete this page if there was indeed a small, now gone fandom for it. Instead of focusing on looking up fanart, maybe see if you can find any members of that fandom and interview them. So you can focus on community instead of fanart. Patchlamb (talk) 19:59, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
