  • Comment: I'm more than a little concerned that the article is completely unsourced but has so much content that looks like it essentially boils down to WP:OR. If the article is kept, we'll probably have to gut it in order to remove all of the unsourced content. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:33, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The original format of the article was awful, at least from a Wikipedia standpoint, as almost the entire article was written as original research and was completely unsourced. If it was a fan website or fan wiki, it'd be great but not so much for a Wikipedia article where we have to have every theory, opinion, and interpretation backed up with some sort of coverage in reliable sources. (IE, a fan interpretation is just that- a fan's intepretation. If it was say, something pulled from a scholarly article, then we could potentially use that.) That said, the article still gained quite a bit of coverage in reliable sources by way of reviews and whatnot, so it passes notability guidelines on that front. On a side note, it's interesting to see how extremely divided the reviews are as this really is the "you'll like it or not" type of read. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:52, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
