Granny and Slendrina's verse should be moved to FC/OC.

Rn, nobody knows the actual status of slender man’s copyright so it could very well be unclaimed and therefore public domain
 
« In May 2016, the media rights to Slender Man were sold to production company Mythology Entertainment, but the company split up in 2019, leaving the ownership of the character's rights in question. »

Rn nobody really know the actual status of the Slenderman copyright owner so it would be safe not to make any change for the moment imo
I'm still unsure about This

This is a bit disingenuous.

We know that Blue Isle still has gaming-based distribution rights for him, and while the current legal status is unknown, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist and that everything goes. It's just not public at this time

The Granny series didn't get the license, so it's fanfiction

Plus Victor surge probably got the rights back to him
 
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.

If this verse were allowed here, we would have to be able to create a profile of Slenderman (DVloper), but we can't because this version of Slenderman is a fan character.
A bunch of verses have broken copyright rules, yet they are still indexed
 
Again just because it's still there, doesn't mean it is allowed. DVloper does not have the rights to the character so fan made
 
Breaking copy rights laws doesn't make you a fanfiction, ****, by that logic DnD and DBZ is a fanfiction.
The entirety of Granny is built off an IP they don't have the rights to, and isn't official in any regard to it. why is this even an discussion? DBZ is it's own IP, and so is DnD.
 
Yes, written, having some random character doesn't mean that you wrote that story specifically to honor that random character.
Lmao, you haven't touched a DVloper game in your life it seems.

Slenderman has a game of his own and several appearances throughout various games in the verse. He also has a major role in the story and is literally Slendrina's father.

The mere fact that Slenderman is present as more than just a cameo or reference, and even has his own game, makes the verse fanfic by definition, whether you like it or not.
 
You mean the character that is in some legal void?
You mean the character they definitely don't own?

You're playing with a technicality which doesn't even help your point to keep them here. doesn't matter they're ina legal void, someone owns them, and it's not THEM, so they gotta fking go.

Who owns it? Like really, at this point Slenderman might as well be considered a free domain character, as no one owns it. And if you are arguing that using a character that is basically on the free domain makes your verse copyright, then we should remove WoD and fate to not be hypocrites.
INB4. Umm They acshuallly don't own it.

Under what legal technicality does this make slenderman a public domain character? Slenderman is still considered a copyrighted character, even if we don't know the owners.

That makes this verse fanfiction, plain and simple. you can have your own personal opinions, but that doesn't change that legally, he is not public domain.
 
A copy rigthed character without owners is as treathening as a gun without bullets
Okay so we both acknowledge the fact granny is using an IP they don't own.

great so we're on the same page about it being fanfiction. this verse can be deleted then.
 
The same goes for DnD and DBZ. So delete those verses I guess.
Does this look like a DnD or DBZ CRT to you? Stay on topic.

This is about this verse. you want those verses deleted too? make a CRT and see what everyone else thinks.

I am just saying that there are verses that used at one point other IP, but are still on the wiki, to delete one and make the other stay just make you an hypocrite.
