Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sanctum Sanctorum (2nd nomination)
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was keep. The general view here – not a unanimous view, but nonetheless the view of a substantial majority – is that the available sourcing is sufficient to meet the GNG. Since that perspective is neither logically fallacious nor fundamentally at odds with policy, I have no reason to discount it.

- Keep While I appreciate Piotrus' BEFORE efforts, I find them exactly the sort of content I would expect and find appropriate for inclusion for a notable fictional element. Merging it to Dr. Strange would be a reasonable alternative to deletion, but I don't think it's called for in this case. c.f. my work on Baxter Building. Jclemens (talk) 16:40, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per arguments from Jclemens, and per WP:ATD for the sources already present in the article, but failing that I agree a merge to Doctor Strange would be better than deletion. BOZ (talk) 16:54, 21 November 2021 (UTC)]
- Keep this is starting to feel more like a weird vendetta against any and all fiction articles rather than serious use of the deletion process, maybe you should consider giving it a rest for a while? Artw (talk) 17:18, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
- Having a vendetta against fiction articles seems a rather silly accusation to make against an editor who brought WP:Good article status and has nominated Sabacc for the same. Not to mention Earth in science fiction and Space travel in science fiction. TompaDompa (talk) 05:46, 22 November 2021 (UTC)]

- Keep. Coverage is more than sufficient, and the fact that there is no single good merge target (with Doctor Strange and Features of the Marvel Universe both being candidates for different reasons) favors a separate article. The building made a signficant appearance in Avengers: Endgame in a sequence where Doctor Strange, though discussed, was not present. Furthermore, it is well-publicized that this fictional location will appear prominently in yet another major film opening in a few weeks (it has already begun receiving coverage for this), which makes this request rather poorly timed.

- Nothing in Wikipedia's policies exclude a general-purpose reliable source from supporting notability on the grounds that a piece published by that source is a "trivial popcult listing". If the source is usable, then inclusion of information in a "listicle" or the like is irrelevant to our review. BD2412 T 19:36, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

- Delete or draftify Article is not compliant with WP's standards on fictional subjects. The amount of third-party, out-universe coverage, concerning reception, influence and acclaim (of which the article has none), is insufficient to meet GNG or to demonstrate the encyclopedic viability of the subject. Avilich (talk) 00:21, 28 November 2021 (UTC)]
- Good news, @ScreenRant.. This is at least third-party, out-universe coverage, concerning reception, to the extent that it describes fans as having incorrectly thought that the house referenced 221B Baker Street, the fictional domicile of Sherlock Holmes. BD2412 T 01:28, 28 November 2021 (UTC)]

- The Screen Rant (reliable?) piece is cheap, fleeting trivia that fails GNG. It says that some fans made a mistake and then corrects them by providing the correct in-universe details. The Collider piece mentions the building three times: two are brief plot recaps to provide context, and the other is a passing mention concerning another character's appearance in it. They don't discuss the building in detail; there's nothing about its development; there's nothing demonstrating that fictional building had any significant real-world impact. You can't even build a stub with articles like those. Avilich (talk) 02:42, 28 November 2021 (UTC)]
- Per WP:RSP, ScreenRant "is considered reliable for entertainment-related topics". This is obviously such a topic. Both articles literally are about the Sanctum Sanctorum in their titles. Of course, the Collider article focuses on pictures, which, as you know, are worth a thousand words. BD2412 T 03:13, 28 November 2021 (UTC)]

As noted, it is already set to be well-represented in a Spider-Man movie set to open in weeks, and in another Doctor Strange movie coming in the next six months.
