Klordny up for deletion on Wikipedia
A little more than a year ago, I wrote an entry for Klordny in Wikipedia. It has recently been considered for deletion as essentially "unworthy" for inclusion.
[The] article is about a fictional holiday with one major appearance 30 years ago, and a group that took its name from the fictional holiday. Prod removed without comment. There do not appear to be any reliable sources that attest to the notability of this fictional holiday either within DC Comics continuity or the real world. The real-life group information is "sourced" by a blog entry and a link to a yahoo group, which do not pass WP:RS [Reliable Sources].
There are currently two votes for Deletion of the article, and within a week or so it'll be gone unless I can come up with some good rationale for keeping it around. Does anyone have any "reliable sources that attest to the notability of this fictional holiday either within DC Comics continuity or the real world"?
If you have a Wikipedia account and you have something rational to say, by all means please do so. But don't turn this into a Stephen Colbert/elephants/truthiness thing.
Don't worry, the Klordny entry at LegionWiki isn't going anywhere.

i really don't understand what they could need as a "reliable source" beside a scan of the original comic... i mean, it's all there.
i think an e-encylopedia with resouces like wikipedia's should be less fussy.
They're looking for a "reliable source" from a third party (that is, not from me or the comic itself) that it's notable and worthy of inclusion.
I think they should err on the side of inclusion, but that's just me.
Sounds to me like another comic related vendetta. Another reason to support our LegionWiki instead of continuing to contribute to them.
If they Google Klorndy at all, they'll find dozens of references. Shouldn't that be enough to prove the word exists on the Internet and that some people might want to know what it means?
