Nominations clarifications

[dhampyresa]

If you believe a nomination has been approved or rejected by mistake, please let me know.

A handful of fandoms were approved while very close to the 500 complete, 1k+, in English fics limit. If they get above said limit before the closing of nominations, they get to stay in the tagset. A few fandoms are over said limits. I haven't rejected them yet, but please edit them. For example, Discworld is too big, but various sub-series might not be.


Clarifications:

- "Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth": did you want "Digimon Story (Video Games)"?
- "NXT": did you want "World Wrestling Entertainment"?

I nominated Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth and no I don't want Digimon Story (Video Games). I want Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth.

Thank you for clarifying. Occasionally Ao3 tries to be helpful. It should be properly approved now.

On the NXT side, "NXT" is a subcategory of "World Wrestling Entertainment" (it's the developmental promotion) but has a very discrete cast of characters, plots, etc. Think like a reality program, where the winners might get to become professional baseball players--but the program isn't the same as the actual baseball team. So it's a separate thing from the WWE.

NXT should really have its own fandom tag but it would probably be a lot to untangle at this point. Its a distinct brand under the WWE umbrella, with its own programming, talent roster, events, logo and merchandise.

It's like how, say, Legends of Tomorrow is related to the Flash and Arrow - its own distinct thing within a larger universe, with occasional crossover and characters moving from one to the other.

I've approved it.

For the record, my policy for interlocking fandoms (here wrestling, but also DC TV shows or Marvel comics or Discworld or others I am sure exist) is to let people nominate/offer/request as they see fit and each individual sub-fandom to be judged on its own merits.

[dhampyresa]

Thank you. It's now approved.

i feel a bit odd quibbling this, but i'm surprised that pride and prejudice is eligible. the fandom is neither small nor rare nor inactive. admittedly, the Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen AO3 tag is only a little over the 500 mark, but there's also Pride and Prejudice & Related Fandoms which contains over 1500 works, not to mention the massive archives that exist elsewhere like DWG, AHA, etc.

it's one of my fandoms, so i'm quite happy to see it in any exchange. :) at the same time i feel like its inclusion goes against the spirit of this one. not my decision, of course!

I am unfamiliar with this fandom and so was unaware there was another tag for it in more widespread use. I've removed the fandom from the tagset.

Thank you.
