Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/TVD Universe
beyond the problematic nature of rushing to label any program that begets another program or film, etc. a "universe" (which is primarily a marketing tactic or the language of an over-enthused fandom), that term has rarely if ever been applied to ''The Vampire Diaries''. It's a TV program, with one spin-off, and that spin-off is getting a spin-off. The fact RS don't talk about the Happy Days "universe" even though that series had multiple spin-offs should indicate something: "universe" is a more often than not a term used by some small segment of a fandom. As {{u|IJBall}} pointed out, even the concept of the "Arrowverse" is a controversial notion, and that is certainly more frequently used and widely known than any mention of TVD belonging to a "shared universe". Accessing information on the series that relate to TVD can be done through categories, lists, inboboxes, navboxes, and good old-fashioned links. The notion that somehow the project is lesser because there isn't an overarching article that presents on all connected series in a "well-compiled" fashion is ridiculous. Wikipedia is not Wikia, and is definitely not |indiscriminate. We don't put together articles just because we can and we don't put together certain types of articles just because other places have articles of that type or format. And the existence of the "Arrowverse" article and the "MCU" article doesn't mean it's appropriate to create similar articles for every collection of linked series... again as previously mentioned, that's a  argument
