This is an encyclopedic wiki, not a fanon wiki. I see this thread stems from a few users wanting fanon deleted from the wiki (which I personally would have no problem with), while others don't quite like the idea of their fanon(s) being deleted (which is understandable).

How about fanon just be transported to  ? That URL is available for MGS fanon writers to go and create their fanon, no?

I have my reasons for not liking fanon on wikis. Take a look at Avatar Wiki; if you hit the "Random page" button, nine times out of ten you're going to land in a fanon article, because fanon has absolutely taken over the wiki. I'm pretty sure that only roughly 2,000 articles out of their 10,000 are mainspace Avatar-related ones, which is sad.

Fanon is just not for encyclopedic wikis, in my opinion. You don't see fanon writers on Wikipedia, Wookieepedia, Wowpedia/WoWiki, etc.
