From what I can remember, I think this page was cut before, but then mod restored.

I cut it for being a misplaced Fanfic Recs page, and because it struck me as similar to those non-canon pages that were cut years ago for listing a mishmash of separate fan works that don't have their own pages.

I don't know why a different mod restored it, but I saw no reason to keep it when we have Fanfic Recs for this stuff.

Edit: I found the previous ATT query (plus queries for other misplaced Fanfic Recs pages, such as a page for fan games), and it was only mod-restored in case anyone wanted to move the contents to Fanfic Recs, not because the page was valid (it seems like the mod who restored it didn't think it was, and just wanted to give people a chance to move them to Fanfic Recs pages). Since that was in 2019 and it's 2023, it seems like nobody was willing to, so I see no reason to keep the page up.

For what it's worth, crazysamaritan (who wasn't a mod at the time, but became one a couple years after that query was made) commented that "The page should only be restored if there is some sort of The 'Verse providing continuity between individual videos."

OK, double posting because in addition to cutting and dewicking that, I discovered Fanfic.Pre Cure Like Fanfics and VideoGame.Other Friendship Is Magic Fan Games as well and cut and dewicked them for having the same problem of being misplaced Fanfic Recs pages. I'm surprised they weren't cut already, because each time these pages came up, people pointed out that they're invalid, and as I said, the one this thread was created for was only restored in case anyone wanted to move the contents to Fanfic Recs (which it doesn't seem anyone wants to do since it's been four years since then) and not because the mod who did it approved of it.
