No sources are given which indicate why this fictional location is notable or significant, and the page seems to be written in a largely in-universe style. The sources that are given seem to just be book reviews that mention this location. 331dot (talk) 19:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - I don't have experience with fictional places, but if it meets WP:GNG, then I would advise keep. Otherwise we need to get rid of all fiction places (Neverland). Doesn't have the coverage that Neverland does, but has coverage. --TTTommy111 (talk) 19:59, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't meet GNG. —Мандичка^YO 😜 20:03, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(ec):I don't have a lot of experience in this area either, but the sources given seem to just be book reviews that mention this location in the context of reviewing the book and not indicating why it is significant. The page seems more an in-universe effort than an encyclopedic article. 331dot (talk) 20:05, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete - is there a way to speedy delete this? Non-notable fictional setting; article apparently created by fan whose username is the same as this article, and who has given great thought to these fictional characters: "COLSON FAMILY Jason Colson I (b. 1944) -- I think he’s a burnout, washed-up, but an essentially charismatic and likable guy. He has a very hoarse voice from years of cigarettes and alcohol abuse. Very self destructive but a survivor. Long gray hair. Goatee. Recluse. Works with horses." —Мандичка^YO 😜 20:03, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is a CSD criteria that would qualify; I PRODded it but it was removed by the page creator. 331dot (talk) 20:05, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• delete I can't see how this can possibly pass notability tests. Mangoe (talk) 14:25, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - This is indeed a fictional place created by author Ace Atkins. The fictional place "Tibbehah County" has some notability, but likely not enough for its own article (eg. "Tibbehah County (fictional location)"). Some of this article could likely be merged into the Atkins article. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:57, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and maybe mention at Ace Atkins article - My searches found nothing to suggest this has independent notability but at least it is mentioned enough through Ace Atkins. SwisterTwister talk 16:36, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I'm making a page on the series with a limited amount of information about the county, so when I'm finished with that, this can redirect there. It doesn't, however, pass notability guidelines to where it'd merit a page of its own since there aren't really any sources that talk directly about this county in the same way that Neverland or Mordor would be.

• Delete Only brief mentions, not separate from the book. Nwlaw63 (talk) 20:22, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:SNOW. Even though reviews may mention briefly this imaginary world, it really is in context of the author. I also recall the debate over Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Southeast North Dakota State University, which ended in a snowy delete; that should be a precedent, even though I argued against speedy deletion.
