Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Dark Council

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete The one legitimate keep vote here suggested that the result in Cheeseweb (begun on the 25 October and closed by me just a moment ago) must logically apply here. I agree, and close this a bit early for consistency. There appears to be no objection to slight mentions in the parent article, but these mentions should be minimal enough such that GFDL merging isn't needed. Xoloz 15:01, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Dark Council

A webforum (or more accurately, a gaming clan), for The War of the Ring Online Campaign. No sign it meets WP:WEB or WP:ORG. "In total, there were 3007 registered participants" in The War of the Ring Online Campaign, so far fewer in this group. No gnews hits. No in-article links to third-party sources. This article tops Google results for "The Dark Council", but the top non-WP result refers to a completely different group with this common name darkcouncil.com. Short version: nn gaming clan - delete. Angus McLellan (Talk) 12:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Co-nominations The Alliance of Light and Campaign of LoTRs, which also lack third-party reporting and do not appear to meet WP:WEB or WP:ORG.

• Delete all. None of the articles seem to make an assertion of notablility. They may be speedy-able. eaolson 00:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep all. All of the sites have been mentioned in publications, which is more than can be said of half of the articles on this entire encyclopaedia. If you are so interested with keeping Wikipedia full of content with notability, I ask you to go and check out the entire site. This article is fine, as with all the others. If you make a living by spitefully going onto a FREE encyclopaedia to delete articles then may God help you.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Glorfindel1993 (talk • contribs).

• Keep all. I don't agree with all of Glorfindel1993's reasoning, but this is intertwined with the Afd at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cheeseweb, and the decision there applies also here. The Dark Council and the Alliance of Light are as notable as that site, but if they are deleted they would have to be merged into War of the Ring Online Campaign. --Grimhelm 01:10, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
  • The Last Alliance is mentioned at Games Workshop Online Community. No reason why a paragraph on these and Cheeseweb shouldn't be added there. Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:01, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete Complete WP:WEB or WP:ORG failure. Anomo 09:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete all, no assertion of notability, none imaginable, utter cruft and self-promotion. Sandstein 06:19, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
