We can ask ~TNOEnjoyer directly. If Elementa doesn't actually exist it should not be on the main wiki pages.

So it's some sort of Discord roleplay? In that case it can exist (I think?), but the numerous stubs are still an issue.

Edit: It should also be under the Roleplay/ namespace, not Video Game/

You can't have subpages without the main page either way, so Chronicles Of Elementa work page needs to be made first, with citations where someone can read all the text.

I can see they're editing now, but these pages need to go if they don't pass Verifiability. Formatting is unsatisfactory as well, but that's secondary.

From (your own, didn't see that at first) Sandbox.Notability Verifiability Tropability:

"Works hosted exclusively on chatting platforms like Discord or transmitted via messaging services like email are considered private even if they have free-to-join links."
Edit: Sorry, I just looked up "Verifiability" as I wasn't aware of the rules myself.

I know, which is why I've said so. (Also the sandbox was mod-reviewed and is quite old)

Having found the "bruh" Revolutionaries stubs, there is now a degree of vandalism involved.

Oh sorry I wasn't clear, I added to the main post — they created two stubs related to that comic, Characters.Revolutionaries and Revolutionaries.Characters, containing only the word "Bruh."

Even the pages that do have content have questionable grammar because every word in a sentence starts with a capital letter. Also, the pictures on these character pages are... baffling. For example, on Characters.Elementan Empire, Emperor Scorcher is Guilmon from Digimon, Crown Prince Ifrit looks like some kind of Sonic the Hedgehog character, while Crown Princess Scorcherina and Prince Blaze are represented by realistic humans. The artstyles are also completely diferent, so all in all, it looks more like some kind of... fan cast? What exactly is our policy for this kind of thing?

I I think the characters are Discord avatars, maybe? But that’s just a guess.

I don't think it's a discord roleplay, they're wrong shapes for discord avatars. The pictures used are likely placeholder portraits for use in the HOI 4 mod they claim to be making.

Suspended because I saw that they're still making stubs despite receiving a notifier on the 21st. Go ahead and cutlist any stubs that weren't already cut.

Given how their appeal in EB admits that it's their own WIP, it can probably be cut.

Characters.Elementa Chronicles is a subpage with no work page, so it's invalid in the first place.

As mentioned, we likely have to cut all of those pages.

I have now had a PM conversation with TNO Enjoyer and I think they now understand that they can only create an unpublished work on Darth, or use sandboxes, for what they want to do. But obviously the suspension and the stubs is another matter.
