@Fedora Kid:

What good is the wiki with unhappy users? The whole point of the wiki is for people to discuss Total Drama and a huge part of that is the pairings they are interested in.

Your point is that there are too many fanon relationships to allow there to be a fan club for them all. While this can be true in your opinion, there are currently only 17 fanon pairing clubs (most of which are repeats of the same club, so we can group them together and get only 14), out of all the clubs there are. Clearly, removing the fanon clubs would not have as big of an impact as you seem to think. Also, there are only 325 possible relationships among the main 26; check your math.

And "important is subjective." To someone who's favorite pairing is Duncan/LeShawna, I'm sure they find that pairing to by much more important than other pairings in the fandom, both fanon and canon. We can not delete based on importance, because that is biased and unfair'.

And they DO deserve to qualify as pairings because someone in the fandom likes them, and therefore it may make Total Drama worth watching to them. Also, the people who make the clubs are users, and a wiki is nothing without users.

And your next point is about "disorganized and unnecessary fanclubs" and the fact that we don't have justification for having fanclubs that are in that state. I for one believe that all clubs that are being used are necessary, so personally I think that we should start the clean up from the perspective of deleting inactive clubs and organizing the active ones. That is how I believe we should clean the club forum, not deleting clubs that people are actually enjoying.

Your point is that 40 clubs are "unneccesary." Well, 17 of those are fanon clubs, and that's what I'm talking about here. If you're talking about how we should delete clubs that aren't relationships/characters, then you're on a whole different topic.

"Again, fanon pairings that are worthy of having fanclubs are pairings that, while they're not technically official, they are often implied, referenced, or otherwise hinted at in the actual show." I could argue that Duncan and Heather, LeShawna and Duncan, and many other pairings you have deemed not worthy of a club have had more than enough implications to get their own page. It's all subjective, Fedora. Either we get rid of all the relationship clubs or none.

We do need to get rid of unnecessary fan clubs, but those are really the clubs that aren't being used, not just all of the fanon pairing clubs.
