I'm sure we do. Several profiles of alternative versions of Slenderman have been removed because they came from series or fan movies (Windigo, Slender 2016, The Administrator, Slender from The Eight Pages games [although I managed to bring it back recently since I proved it's official, although that's not the point], etc) and the "Animator Vs. Animation" verse was recently moved to FC/OC for containing copyrighted material and characters. This is a fan created verse where it includes a copyrighted character, I don't see the difference between the examples I gave and DVLoper's verse.
Granny is part of a verse that includes a fan character (in fact, I have no idea why the verse is called "Granny" here, the Granny Trilogy is just a spin-off of the Slendrina Series, which is the main series, but well, that's not the point).
Granny is the more popular and prominent series. It's also the one we know most about lore-wise i'm pretty sure.
Having a fan character turns the verse into fanfic, especially in this case. If it were an unimportant appearance then I would agree with you, but Slenderman does not appear as a cameo or a reference, but rather as one of the most important characters (being Slendrina's father, and Granny and Grandpa's son-in-law )and he even has his own game in the DVloper verse where he is the main antagonist, and I'm sure this would be treated here as fanfic, since that was what happened in the past with EverymanHYBRID's Slenderman and other verses that contained the character, these were eliminated for the same reason, they were not official versions of the character nor do they have permission to use the character, they are fanfic. Anyway, let's let the staff decide.
Satire is protected free speech. Also, in most cases, they are just cameos or unimportant appearances. In this case he is an important character in the lore of the verse with his own game in the saga, and it is not a parody.
I'm not saying that the verse should be deleted because the original version is on the wiki, I'm saying that it should be deleted because it is a fanfic, and the Slenderman that appears in the DVloper verse is a fan character. Many versions of Slenderman (EMH, Games, Windigo, etc) and other verses have been removed from the wiki because they are simply fan characters, it's the same here.
Games slender man is a bad example as he’s on the wiki.
The only reason that it's on the wiki in the first place is that a lot of people don't consider it to be a fanfic, the original version and the eight pages/arrival version of Slenderman are on the wiki because they are commonly well-known and people somehow convinced the staff to allow creepypasta characters on the wiki.
No, the original version and some creepypastas are here because they are not FC, although many are one step away from not being accepted, not just any creepypasta is accepted.
I hadn't seen your comment until now. I used the example because in the past, the profile of Slenderman from the games was specifically removed for "not being official", although it has now been proven that it is official, this version of Slenderman and the entire verse is not. Come on, the story of this verse seems like a Wattpad fanfic, Slenderman gets a wife and has a daughter.
No, Slenderman is not a public domain character. The movie had the necessary permissions to be made, Eric Knudsen participated in the creation of the video game (so it is official) and the original Slenderman is here simply because it is the original version of the character.
In the DVLoper-verse, Slenderman is a fan character. Slenderman is one of the most important characters in the lore, being the father of Slendrina (the main antagonist of the main verse series) and the son-in-law of Granny and Grandpa. Slenderman also has his own game (which was one of the first games DVLoper made if I remember correctly) called Slender Man Rise Again (in which Slendrina appears), Slendy also appears in some Slendrina games, in one of them he appears as one of the antagonists. Therefore, the Slendrina verse is a fanfic, "Granny" is a Spin-Off of the Slendrina series (in which several characters from the Slendrina series appear), so Granny is also part of the fanfic.
Considering the latest comments, what are your current opinions? I'll start counting the votes, and then I'll contact a staff member to evaluate the thread.
