That's not the point. I agree that fanon isn't hurting anyone here; if anything, it's a driving force for a larger community. The thing is, it doesn't belong here. Metal Gear Wiki is a wiki, and is meant to be an encyclopedic respository for Metal Gear information; that's it. Fanfiction.net or a sister MGWiki can be used for fanon. It's essentially like saying that fanfiction should be allowed in encyclopedias simply because it won't hurt the readers of said encyclopedias.

Fanon simply doesn't adhere to the standards of a wiki and is irrelevant to what the wiki presents.

On top of all of the aforementioned information, as of now, (1) I'm not seeing enough fanfic writers to warrant fanon being allowed on the wiki and (2) it seems like this is a somewhat parastic proposal (no offense, I assure you); you want fanon to be allowed on the wiki... yet you say you are unable to maintain a sister fanon wiki. It seems like you expect us (non-fanon editors) to help you maintain the fanon portal of this wiki, should it stay (for example: if your fanon is vandalized by a random anon for the lulz, you expect us non-supporters to undo it for you). If you can edit fanon here, why can't you maintain a fanon wiki site? That would be the most viable solution, imo, as both parties get what they want (we get to keep the wiki as a 'wiki' and fanon writers get to write fanon).
