100% pure fancruft and original research that blatantly fails WP:NOT. This would need a total rewrite to even stand a chance of being notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:51, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The very definition of fancruft. Even with proper sourcing (i.e. sources other than the books themselves), I can't see this ever not running afoul of WP:NOT. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 01:26, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:OR. Some of this is sourced directly to a Stephen King website. Even if it was declared as accurate by Stephen King himself, there would still be the problem of WP:SIGCOV. Without reliable sources, I don't see anything to WP:PRESERVE here. Shooterwalker (talk) 13:45, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I wouldn't be surprised if there were some genuine sources that talk about some of King's multiverse concepts, especially in relation to The Dark Tower series. But, this article is not even really on that topic - its just an in-universe description of some of the fictional concepts that appear in his books, and then a list of "Worlds" that is largely based on WP:OR - the fact that there are some inaccuracies/contradictions in that list kind of demonstrates that it is based off of different users OR.

Delete - appears to be WP:OR. Please ping me if good sources are identified. BennyOnTheLoose (talk)
