[edit] C'Thun

  • Keep I can't believe that this is even being discussed. I am not a WoW player, however this character was mentioned in a forum by other people. I was glad I could find out about it here on wikipedia. WoW has a significant cultural identity and following, and being able to garner a bit of history on this character was enlightening to this non-player. So, deleting this would be subtracting from the knowledge about this increasingly important game, whether you play it or not. If it's burdensome to have this entry, it should be put in another article that could be redirected/found through search. This really should be a no-brainer. And this is coming from someone that doesn't play the game. anon 09:05 26 April 2006 (UTC).
  • Delete: One of the "Gods" from World of Warcraft. He's not even physically in the game, although his eye does serve as a raid boss. I am recommending deletion as gamecruft. --Hetar 08:21, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with World of Warcraft. Grafikm_fr 08:24, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
    • As a regular contributor to that article, I feel its already more than sufficiently long, and doesn't need minutiae like this. WOWwiki [1] already has a more lengthy and more appropriate article on the subject. --Hetar 08:28, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
      • I agree, merging into World of Warcraft would be the wrong course of action. For being a "God" it's not that major of a character for such a broad article. Instead I say merge and redirect to Ahn'Qiraj, the dungeon where C'Thun is a boss. --TheKoG (talk|contribs) 13:40, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Makes sense, changing my vote to merge and redirect. --Hetar 01:16, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, as much as I love World of Warcraft, the cruft is getting obnoxious.--Isotope23 17:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, do we have an article on the Gods of World of Warcraft? There are apparently more than one. If we don't yet, move this there, and slightly edit the page to turn this into the first entry. Fans are going to make more of these; may as well deal with it.

    • Comment I still support deletion, but Smerdis of Tlön's suggestion is a good one and a proactive way to deal with the inevitable.--Isotope23 19:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • If the [[World of Warcraft article is too large and this god is too minor to justify inclusion in the main article, I think it would be better (and consistent with how WP:FICT handles characters and narrow topics in other types of fiction) to merge all WoWcruft articles to sub-articles such as Gods of World of Warcraft and Dungeons of World of Warcraft. I don't think that dungeons such as Ahn'Qiraj should have their own articles, as they have no relevance to non-WoW-player readers no matter how notable the game system is.

    • Comment Actually there already is a Dungeons of World of Warcraft article at Instance (World of Warcraft). Right now it's just a chart with links to individual articles of the dungeons. --TheKoG (talk|contribs) 13:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep The article has some merit, but does need to be improved. I would also support a Merge With Ahn'Qiraj, but a delete is not necessary. McKay 23:22, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with Ahn'Qiraj.-Polotet 00:32, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - or Merge if you want, a singular character with apparently zero back story as of yet should not have its own article. Every MMO has a good handful of god characters, and they really should not have their own articles. - Hahnchen 00:55, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • To be fair, he does have much more backstory than is presented in this article. But I agree he's certainly not significant enough for his own article.-Polotet 01:00, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Warcraft is about as popular as some minor religions. If Shintoism or Baha'ism have individual pages devoted to minor gods, why not Warcraft? Even if everyone stopped playing Warcraft tomorrow and no other MMORPG ever came out, Warcraft would still be fascinating as a cultural artifact and worthy of research. In any case C'thun is in the game; the Eye is just the first stage of the raid encounter. There is more backstory to the character, as mentioned above; this article is merely incomplete. Marvelli

  • Keep I know nothing about WoW, but I used this article to understand one of my friends nicks in MSN Messenger. It is useful. -- DJ John 21:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
