Notability disputed

I have restored the notability template, on the grounds that this purely in universe article is incapable of providing evidence of notability, even if the in universe content were to be sourced from reliable secondary sources. The article would have to be rewritten from a real-world perspective and then sourced from reliable secondary sources to have any chance of meeting Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines. --Gavin Collins (talk) 15:18, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, Krynn is notable. No, the article does not demonstrate its notability. I say this because it passes the first two prongs at WP:FICT. The article certainly needs massive amounts of work; I think that {{importance}} (subject may be notable but the article does not indicate that), {{refimprove}} (needs more sources), and {{in-universe}} would make sense, but not {{notability}}. That being said, having both Importance and Notability on the same article is redundent; one or the other makes sense, but not both. -Drilnoth (talk) 16:48, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I concur that this is a notable subject which has yet to prove its notability, thus why I changed the template to {{importance}}, although my changes were then reverted. BOZ (talk) 16:53, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
