Requested move

Fictional locations → Fictional location — rename to singular per Manual of Style — Swpb ^{talk contribs} 17:22, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I completed the move, which was uncontroversial - no need for a survey to follow the MoS. -GTBacchus^(talk) 18:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Old link

One thing I don't understand is what made me link to a page entitled Fictional location on 2 November 2006 (see Portal:Literature/Did you know/Week 52) when, as I see from the edit history, this article was only created in January 2007. Was there an older article with the same title (rather than just a couple of redirects) which was deleted wholesale (including its edit history)? Just curious. <KF> 23:30, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A street?

Would a street also fit in here? I'm thinking of Armistead Maupin's Barbary Lane (Tales of the City), but there are many more examples. <KF> 00:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

merge with setting

this and other articles really need to be merged on setting190.140.251.85 (talk) 07:15, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where in the world is Dawn Arkin?

Is there any kind of link or reference for that alleged article? I can't find any actual trace of it or even identify the author with any certainty. Is it even relevant? The quote does not seem very astonishing. Hasn't any notable author said anything more interesting about the subject? --Ehitaja (talk) 13:20, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This needs extensive expansion an rewriting

The tone and examples given here do not comply with the Manual of Style, and the article goes into too much detail in areas like maps and sizes of locations whilst being severely lacking in other important areas (like history). It reads like it was written by a single person. May need to be merged with setting. PatrickHydar (talk) 16:31, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
