== It Ain't Me, Babe == 

 Please think of yourself as someone who got on the wrong plane and ended up in Berlin instead of Kansas.  Or maybe in Fallujah. You don't know the language; you don't understand what makes people here tick.  More specifically, you haven't grasped that there wasn't 1 reason that 8 people voted down retention of your article; when you get 8 WPians together on a page, they may well have a dozen opinions about it. It sounds like your material was in fact not fanfic, but i don't know that it wasn't fancruft bcz no one's ever explained the term to me. But i think it probably wasn't notable. 

 You have to be a lot smarter than you're sounding with me, and you should use your available resources to figure out what it is we're doing here.  Someone may explain to you what they mean by notability and encyclopedicity, but even if they do, you've got, i dunno, some tens of thousands of other colleagues here who don't mean precisely the same thing, and some of them don't mean anything remotely like the same thing.  It's going to take you longer than you think it should, to understand this environment; IMO just reading won't do it, and the question may be whether you have the self-control and resourcefulness to stimulate your environment here in ways that you care enough about that the responses will be interesting and useful, yet that you can disengage from enough that you don't get into fights that make your colleagues want you out of their hair.  

 That out-of-their-hair category can become apparent from people who ignore your questions to the various means of shutting you up. In my case you see someone very close to starting to ignore you, for the reason that "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, Babe, it ain't me you're lookin' for...."  Branch out in your quest, and live well and prosper.
