764:. In actual fact if I count right there is 17 keeps (including several "Strong keeps"), and only 8 delete votes, and some people didn't vote instead just commenting, but most comments are supportive of keeping. I know that AfD is not supposed to be simply a vote-count (though in my experience a vote count has often determined the fate of the page) but even reading across the previous debate, it seems that there well reasoned arguments made as to be why the page should be kept as opposed to being deleted, and by wikipedians who had actually given some time to looking at gaining an understanding of the article. The main argument for deletion in the previous debate was that the article was not sourced and could therefore be original research. Since then notes and references have been introduced, to show that it is not based on original research but primarily on secondary sources. 1481:
points. This is not some vague subjective interpretation, it was objectively put together using secondary sources and explicit "Historian notes" which identify can clearly result in a placement on a timeline. Primary sources were occasionally used if necessary but this does not make it 'original research', unless they were subjectively interpreted on Knowledge (XXG) (which they were not) - as I say we used explicit markers in the texts like "Historian notes" or explicit mentions of the date. Many people assume that any use of primary sources is original research. Actually primary sources treated with care can be used without performing "original research", and in this case they were used alongside secondary sources such as guidebooks. --
1175:. If this article is "advancing the position" that its content is correct than it is no different than every other article on Knowledge (XXG). "Advancing a position" in the context of the original research policy means advancing a novel or controversial position that is not supported by cited sources. Do you actually believe that the timeline is incorrect or do you simply think that nothing is allowed on Knowledge (XXG) unless some reliable source has said it in exactly the same way? Is it original research to say 92653 + 58979 = 151632 unless I find a reliable source for 662:
considering the nature of the series. If some aspects are done poorly or some articles or sections are missing, that's an argument to improvement, not deletion. Otherstuffhasbeen deleted is no more of an argument than otherjunkexists: each article is to be judged individually. construction of an image for navigation is no more OR than construction of an original map, as is present in thousands of articles. WP is not constructed according to some theoretical ideal--it is an encyclopedia meant to be used.
744:- This is a subjective matter and many would disagree with this opinion - but IMHO there is a very obvious real-world context: These stories are available in the real world, they sit in shops, on people's book shelves.. people who follow them may appreciate having somewhere to find out what order to do so. Deleting this page will only make Knowledge (XXG) less useful to many people. However I agree that the page could benefit from more real-world context. 269:, 3/ which are notable and 4/ capable of more than just re-hashing, and which are 5/ appropriate to mirror as an encyclopedia article, then I think the delete views are well endorsed by policy, and this article unfortunately fails to meet requirements. I have userified the text prior to deletion, in case it can be useful that way. Details posted at 780:- This is essentially a list, and perhaps needs to be renamed something like "List of Buffy/Angel stories". It does aid navigation (by complimenting other navigation options), and there is basis for keeping and improving it rather than deleting. If this page is removed it will only make it far more difficult to navigate articles relating to 808:), and it is written from a neutral Point of View. It also represents the work of many many wikipedians over the period of a whole year. I suspect that many people who are voting to delete the list are biased against it because they are not interested in the subject matter (though they likely would not admit that in this forum). 1073:. It is a list of episodes (note that episode titles are real-world information, not in-universe information) with short plot descriptions, ordered by their occurrence in the fictional universe's timeline. It is well-referenced and verifiable, and is an encylcopedic treatment of one aspect of an academic field of study (see 219:, and this doesn't seem to be the case. (But:- It's also questionable whether a reliably sourced "this is what fans think" would be enough, unless there was a published, agreed chronology, in which case Knowledge (XXG) is not a republisher of fan-info and that list would be better reflected by an in-article link anyhow). 1307:" It's only original research if the analysis serves to support a novel or controversial position, and I just don't see what is so novel or controversial about arranging stories set in the same fictional universe into a fictional timeline, especially when such timeline appears not to be disputed in any meaningful way. 1194:," the larger topic being the ordering of hundreds of separate stories within the Buffyverse timeline. Each story is presented in this chronology as a separate real-world entity (per its episode or book title). Even if we removed the episode titles, it would be a rather poorly written "plot summary", e.g.: 1504:
Reference #4 is justifying the placement of an unaired pilot into this timeline. Why do we have an unpublished work on this timeline at all? It's the closest thing this has to a reference that backs any of the claims, and it's to back the placement of a work whose placement on this timeline at all is
1557:
assume that the order the series is presented in is not chronological? Even if there is no hard source for that, it seems a little absurd, though I am a big supporter of proper sourcing in articles. It's a linear television show in which the events of one episode often affect the following episodes,
1480:
I can see how numbers 2-4 might appear dubious if not properly looked into, but these are comments given by the writers/producers of these works specifically relating to a timeline placement, and actually are only footnotes to several entries of the list. The most important references are the bullet

The crux of the delete case is a concern that the article is a synthesis of editor's views or advancing such a synthesis, not based upon reference to reliable sources, and breaches fiction article guidelines. The crux of

stories' placement within the timeline. What difference does it make how long before publication the statement was made? And really, how can unpublished stories be written about from an in-universe perspective? The mere existence of these entries in the timeline proves this is a real-world analysis

because I don't really see anything this article adds that the much-smaller templates appearing at the end of episode pages do not provide. I particularly don't see the need for the plot summaries, as they're more than adequately covered elsewhere. A note on the messageboard/blog sources though: as
661:
summaries of the content of major cultural artifacts are encyclopedic. they are not just for fans. In fact, I think they are not primarily for fans, but for ordinary users who do not know the material very well, and are trying to form an idea of the content of the series. A timeline is appropriate,

910:
An appropriate list of Buffy/Angel stories would be arranged in a real-world way (like, say, by publisher or medium or by real world chronology), would ditch nearly all of the in-universe material, and, most critically, benefits in no way from this list with dozens of redundant links, go-nowhere
189:
I concur with DGG and DHowell that such a timeline could be encyclopedic or useful. It is a well defined, well presented list, doubtless useful, and many lists are to be found in Knowledge (XXG). However AFD is decided based upon policy related points arising, and there are strong policy related
644:
Transwiki is not a good resolution for AfD. Generally it is best to avoid using other wikis as links on Knowledge (XXG) articles since other Wikis may not have the same rules on verfiability, neutrality.. Also we should improve articles rather than get rid of them by shifting them elsewhere. --
1558:
and it's very reasonable to assume that they are in chronological order. If the original airdates are too fuzzy for you, would it be better to use the episode order featured on the DVDs (which is exactly the same)? And yes, I voted "delete", but I believe this debate is getting a little silly.
903:
I acknowledge that it was a lot of work to make this timeline. I'm sure it would fit very nicely onto a Buffy fan wiki. However, here, it does not respect Knowledge (XXG)'s standards for handling fictional material, and by its nature cannot be cleaned up to meet these standards. It is original
899:
The number of votes from last time doesn't really enter into it. This is still all plot summary, and still original research, and still in-universe. I made a point of specifically answering the arguments advanced for keep in the last AFD, except for the "I like it" or "Buffy fans need this"
699:
Other articles with the same problems being deleted illustrates the fact that Knowledge (XXG) has historically not made a practice of keeping timelines that are similarly original syntheses of plot summary. OTHERSTUFFEXISTS doesn't illustrate that there's some consensus on Knowledge (XXG)'s
840:. I noticed the nomination says "Generally, such timelines have done poorly on AFD in the past." That is not relevent. This page needs to be properly looked at on its own terms, and yes that means voters should at least have a look at the article and justify their vote. 891:
The fact that the works these stories appear in exist in the real world isn't real-world content; this only talks about the events in the stories, not once making mention of conception, fan reception, critical reception, or any sort of other real-world content.

The image is a microcosm of this article's problems. It's a combination of vaguely sourced material, in a way atypical for Knowledge (XXG), into a whole better suited for a fansite than an encyclopedia.
