Original research attempt to create a Tommy Westphall thing, based solely on very superficial recurrences of minor characters, coincidental recurrence of shared names among characters intended as different people, and brand names of products not central to the plot in any way, across more than one of Bryan Fuller's television series. Something like this might merit a Wikipedia article if it could be sourced over WP:GNG as a thing that real reliable sources actually discussed, but the sourcing here is based entirely on Tumblrs, tweets, individual episode recaps and listicles on pop culture fora and casting announcements that don't have the word "Fullerverse" in them. That's simply not the kind of sourcing it takes to make something like this an appropriate article topic. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 23:10, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

None of this has been original research "to create a Tommy Westphall thing". Beth Grant's character is intended as, and credited as, the SAME character throughout Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies and Mockingbird Lane. In her two appearances in Wonderfalls and her one appearance in Hannibal, Chelan Simmons character Gretchen Speck-Horowitz (known simply as "Gretchen Speck" in Hannibal after her divorce in Wonderfalls) claims to have "lost the hyphen, kept the ring.". These characters are clearly NOT intended to be different people, meaning these shows esist in a shared universe. Also, it is not ENTIRELY based on Tumblrs & Tweets. There are also links to the Fullerverse Website. [1][2] Keep. TotalTruthTeller24 (talk) 09:54, 18 June 2016 (ROI)

One example of a repeated character name that is intended, according to this very article, to be a different person is "Katherine Pimms", so I'm in no way making stuff up with that — and the characters who did cross over from one show to another as the same person are minor ones, not main characters, so there's clearly nothing significant about the crossovers as a thing in their own right. None of this constitutes a compelling reason why this would merit coverage in an encyclopedia as a thing. As well, fullerverse.com is not a reliable source for content like this, as it's not a media outlet but rather a self-published fansite created by a theorizer — and I didn't say the sourcing here was based solely on Tumblrs and tweets, I said it was based on Tumblrs, tweets and several additional kinds of sources. But all of the sources here, regardless of their type, fail WP:RS for one reason or another. Simply put, you've either misinterpreted or misrepresented every single thing I actually said.

Delete or just redirect to Bryan Fuller, which already has a section called "Fullerverse" that basically already has this same info. Most of the information is fairly trivial and WP:FANCRUFT, hardly warranting a standalone article for the subject. Most of the "crossovers" between the shows are fairly minor and more of a "wink" to fans. It's not like it's the Marvel Cinematic Universe or something. I'd also like to point out that this same user created Template:Fullerverse which is fairly redundant of Template:Bryan Fuller, and should also be deleted.

Delete This "shared universe" is incredibly minor to non-existant – this is coming from a longtime Fuller fan. The template isn't even done to the same standards as templates; article isn't done to the standard of articles. Cartoon Boy (talk) 1:56, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Just did a read-through and the "Connections" section, basically identical to the "Fullerverse" section on the Fuller article... Cartoon Boy (talk) 1:56, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Template should also be deleted. Cartoon Boy (talk) 1:56, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

• Delete as I'm still not seeing the solidity and depth for its own notable article at this time. SwisterTwister talk 06:19, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
