Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chronology of the Harry Potter series
some of the basic information listed under Chronology of the Harry Potter series#Events|Events could probably be sourced directly to the novels or the odd statement made by the author. However everything in the sections on the Chronology of the Harry Potter series#Timeline basis|Timeline basis and Chronology of the Harry Potter series#Contradictions|Contradictions appears to be |original research. Starting from the first sentence there are already problems ''"The official timeline is rooted in a date cited in Rowling’s second book"'' - what makes the timeline official - it appears to have been pieced together by Wikipedia editors not published by anyone who holds the copyright to the books, their content or their characters? From Wikipedia:No original research: ''"an article about a novel may cite passages from the novel to describe the plot, but any interpretation of those passages needs a secondary source."'' Pretty much everything that frames the list of events is based on interpretation of some form or another and without that framework the page is just a list of plot details - not an |encyclopaedia article
