Deletion discussion

I think this will also apply to the other for-pay novels (I'm talking about any for-pay book novels--electronic, hardbound, or paperback) that are upcoming. I think the question is whether we should include chapter-by-chapter summaries of these for-pay novels on Heroes Wiki. I am really torn as I think it may really help the newcomers to the Heroes "Universe" (if you will) right now to have these summaries (and perhaps the writers of the new episodes too), but I am also concerned to make sure we have permissions from NBC (I value the Heroes Wiki relationship with NBC), the author(s) of said work(s), and the publishing companies, if need be, as I see this as a gray area in terms of whether it is or not fair use, and in that respect I think it may be on a case by case basis whether we include them. I'm asking this now as I think it's an important discussion to be having, and I think input from other wiki users, especially Admin could be beneficial.--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:12, 22 October 2015 (EDT)

  • I also pay for Heroes episodes since I don't have a TV and have to pay for the episodes individually. I'm sure I'm not alone with this. But I don't see an issue with the summary -- this summary, although long, is definitely not in depth. I don't think it's ever more than one paragraph to summary an entire chapter, which sometimes lasts 7 or 8 pages. But ultimately, since we are talking about a possible permission issue, or our relationship with NBC, you're right, we should probably pose this to Admin. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:56, 22 October 2015 (EDT)
    • If you have access to Hulu, the episodes are there too for a short period of time... I already left a message on Admin's talk page about this, since he posted online earlier today.--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:06, 22 October 2015 (EDT)
