Deletion of List of fictional counties (3rd nomination)

Comment: prose to Lists of fictional locations because per , this topic has not been discussed ''as a group or set'' by independent reliable sources. This is a critical foundation to make the topic remain in perpetuity. I have tried to research for such sources but have essentially found Faulkner's county, and to a lesser extent, Hardy's. The lead section should be merged to the aforementioned article (and more section headings and summary sections created for the other categories). I oppose deletion because if sources discussing this as a group or set do appear at some point, per , those in these groups and sets can be complemented with individual items that have been noted in secondary sources

Comment: The Delete/Redirect arguments above are reasonable. However, it has been upheld fairly recently (in July 2018 — around the same time as the similar List of fictional towns and villages) ''without'' the need for trimming. In its current state, it is well-defined (see County), has enough significant and accurately evaluated entries, contains no |original research, and is not wholly indiscriminate, List of fictional rappers|unlike List of fictional medicines and drugs|those List of fictional fraternities and sororities|that List of fictional musical works|got List of mammalian alien species|deleted

Comment: per our longstanding  guideline. Also Dream Focus points to the many blue links in the article which also supports the navigation aspect of LISTN. Previous AfDs on this list have resulted in keep both in 2007 and 2018, making this nomination somewhat vexatious
