MCF In A Thanksgiving Mystery is a fanfic article that is almost all ZCEs. It was created by Pixargirl, who also made the article for its creator (Trachie 17) and made some other pages that had to be cut back in 2014 for being stubs.

The Creator article was recently cutlisted by ~Pixargirl on the grounds that the author no longer wished to have it. It was declined because we do not allow that as a cut reason. That said, the Creator article is also itself rather stubby, containing a ZCE-ridden trope list, a tiny description, and a list of fanfics that don't have articles, save the one mentioned above.

Of note, we do not believe that Pixargirl is also Trachie17 due to external research. Otherwise we could default to our Auto-Erotic Troping policy.

Unless someone else familiar with the work is willing to take it over and clean it up, I'd say it should be cut. Otherwise there's just no worthwhile content.

Thoughts?

Cut it. It's not cross-wicked besides an index and the creator, and it doesn't even clearly state what work it's based on.

Edit: Looking through the history, last edit was in Feburary for a namespace fix, and the last content edit was back in '14. It isn't thriving, and it hasn't had any crosswicks since it was made.

The only reason I could say keep it is that it hadn't had an opportunity to grow since it wasn't connected to the rest of the wiki. However, because Work Pages Are A Free Launch, it was the responsibility of the page creator to make sure it was properly crosswicked. Again, I say cut it.

Unless someone steps up soon to take it over and nurse it back to health, I'm fine with cutting it.

Seconded.

Clearly whoever made it doesn't care as evidenced by the ZC Es and lack of crosswicking so unless someone WHO DOES care steps up to make it a serviceable page I'd cut it.

As nobody has stepped up to claim the article and improve it, it's off to the cutlist. Thanks, folks.
