While I understand that this card is far from official, I don't believe there is any reason to delete the page. Wikis are created for the people, by the people. They are not just to be informative, but also to promote a sense of community--especially if they want to attract more readers and contributors. A healthy wiki is a wiki that knows how to have fun! That being said, I don't see why this page should be deleted. As I stated in the irc channel when the topic arose, I doubt anyone is going to visit this page and mistake Mokuba's drawing for an official card, then become disappointed and bitter when they find out it cannot be bought. I mean, really!

On a separate but equally important note, it would just be cruel and heartless to the Kaiba brothers to delete this page. Perhaps to us, it may not be 'official,' but how much do you think that matters to them? This drawing is a beautiful symbol of their bond, even in the most difficult of times. We must honor their brotherly bond!

THEIR LOVE IS PURE

This was an exact re-creation of the main "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" article. This drawing was a proxy for an actual "Blue-Eyes White Dragon". Giving it a seperate article is threating it as a seperate card. I know there are other articles about different version of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, such as Blue-Eyes White Dragon (DDM) and Blue-Eyes White Dragon (CM). Although I would lean in favour of merging them with the main BEWD article, those examples are different than this case. They are cards from different games, following different rules and have different effects/stats. This was intended as the same card, as far as entering it in a card database, that means it should have the same entry as the actual BEWD.
People coming here in the hopes of finding a real card that can be bought is not a problem, as we do have articles for anime, manga and video game only cards.
It's fun, it's not doing harm and it might upset the creator are not valid reasons to keep something.Humour value alone is not enough for an article to exist. And what is funny to one person, may be silly to another and may also cause people to not take the wiki seriously. For example I think this is a good article, apart from the image captions. IMO, some are funny and some are just silly, but overall I find the captions a turnoff.
More importantly, we're not a humour wiki. This wiki's purpose is to be informative and we should not go out of our way to be fun.
Not doing anyone harm is a window to allow any content to exist.
In regards to upsetting the author; Wikis can be cruel, but flagging someting for deletion is not something personal against the editor and they are not being rejected themselves.
Leaving it because it would hurt someone's love not to is making exceptions for our own felings. (Plus they're fictional characters, so I think we'll get away with it.) -- Deltaneos (talk) 21:12, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
You are still wrong and I hope you CRY for ruining something so cute and harmless >:[ --Jennie Rocket 23:05, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
You are STILL wrong, you know. --Jennie Rocket (talkcontribs) 07:06, November 29, 2010 (UTC)
No, you're wrong. This article may explain some stuff about Seto's childhood, but that's basically meant for the trivia section of the episode this was in, not for it's own article. I know this was made 5 years ago, but, god, it's just so stupid! Psukeo (Talkity talk talk) 00:54, February 29, 2016 (UTC)
