Talk:The Wylde Cards

Source?

The article gives only one source reference, Second Succession War (Sourcebook). However, combing the document I found only one passing reference to the unit: They're listed as a merc unit in Kurita employ on a table on p. 94 that was raised in 2859 and destroyed by 2864. None of the other information in this article stems from that book, and given the anachronisms and total lack of sources, I'm assuming it's fan fiction and have edited it out.

The Wylde Cards were one of the fan created mercenary unit's [1] so it might have been the creator adding more info, but point stands that non-canon info either has to be marked as such or referenced elsewhere such as this talk page as other fans with units have done.

Editor has come back and given their reasons for the content. Personally I still hold the opinion that private messages from Ray or not, this should not be here unless it actually gets printed.--Dmon (talk) 13:40, 23 May 2018 (EDT)

I've had email contat with the author, and I suggested the approach to him that was now taken. We have a precedent of sort with TekTeam, which was an (now apocryphal) unit that appeared in BattleTechnology and the 'Mech magazine, but had additional (non-canon) fan-created info about them. Given that the fan information was from the same author who had created the apocryphal parts I reasoned even the non-canon is notable enough to warrant inclusion. In the case of this article here, the unit is actually canon and the same rationale applies imho. Frabby (talk) 14:21, 23 May 2018 (EDT)
