Address Unknown "episodes"
The following articles have been transwikied from Wikipedia: These appear to be complete transcriptions of "episodes" from Address Unknown, a fictional TV show featured within the video game Max Payne. They seem to be improper on several levels. First, Wikiquote is not an appropriate venue for transcriptions. If they are not copyrighted, they belong on Wikisource. If they are copyrighted (which seems most likely), they don't belong in any MediaWiki project. Second, it seems highly questionable that a fictional TV show shown only in pieces within a video game is notable enough for its own article. Even the Wikipedia article on the overall "television series" seems quite fancruftian, and probably ought to be only a section of the Max Payne article. Third, even if Address Unknown is considered notable, it hardly seems to require one article per episode, since we do not allow complete transcriptions. A single article would suffice for quotes, assuming there is anything worth quoting. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:44, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. However, if we decide the subject is notable, I favor placing any quoted material in a Max Payne subsection for the "TV show", unless and until it's proven substantial enough to merit a separate article. After all, there is no actual TV show. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:44, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
