House of Haldane (fictional)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Consists only of in-universe plot summary from a series of novels, in violation of the policy WP:NOT#PLOT (as tagged since 2013!) and citing no third-party sources, in violation of WP:N. The series is notable and I am aware that there are reliable sources about it. But notability is not inherited, and it would be incumbent on those who want to keep the content to demonstrate that there are any reliable sources that specifically cover this one part of its plot in depth such that this topic would itself be notable enough for a dedicated article. Our policies and practice require that we are not a fan wiki open to long, uncritical, unsourced in-universe plot summaries. And by its title, this article can hardly ever be anything else.

Delete Exactly as Sandstein states. The only way a fictional family can pass NOTABILITY is for an editor to bring reliable, secondary sources; i.e. articles in notable publications that discuss the family as a thing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:36, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
