[edit] Archimonde

Archimonde (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Please note that I do not nominate these articles together due to a previous trainwreck. It would be appreciated that you do NOT merge these Articles for deletions together, as the previous decision was to decide on the values of each article separately.

As there is a huge majority of articles that need to go through an AfD (literally over 100), the reasons listed may not be as relevant to this article as it would be another. Either way, they all appear to have the same problems and still must be noted to make a decision.

This character article appears to comprised of unsourced, unnotable, fancruft.

This article has little to no third-party sources, with usually the only source being on another wiki, a gaming site, or the Blizzard website.

This article is also not notable to non-Warcraft players, as chances are, a complete stranger to the series would not read this article at all, failing real-world notability.

Finally, this article is most likely fancruft, possibly created through original research. These are mostly unwelcome, continuing on the basis that non-players would have no interest in it.

This article is nominated individually to prevent another trainwreck from occurring while also allowing editors to individually decide which article should stay and which should go. The above reasons are as to why each of these articles should be deleted, whether they are completely relevant or hardly relevant. IAmSasori 21:31, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete violates WP:Plot and WP:OR, while the game Warcraft is notable. The fiction and characters within it are not. Ridernyc 22:33, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

• Exceptionally Strong Keep It's an essential part of the plot. Have you even played the game before? Please cease this frenzy this nominator is on.

• Weak Keep There's a link to a third-party database, so it definitely doesn't violate WP:OR. Whether it is notable is another matter, and I'm not convinced either way at the moment, what with the game being the most famous computer game around, known among non-gamers and gamers alike. (yes, Archimonde is just a character inside the indisputably notable game; but he is a sufficiently major and recurring character that he might be considered notable in his own right) Sakkura 16:35, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
