[edit] Celer Mortis

Apparently a personal D&D character, {{prod}} failed, CSD does not(?) quite apply as it's a fictional person. Delete -- stillnotelf has a talk page 06:57, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete I think the name is supposed to be Latin for quick death but that should be "Celer Mors" or "Mors Celer." So its a non-notable fictional character with an incorrect name. JoshuaZ 07:00, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per my PROD: "Weak search results. Gamecruft; likely fan fiction character." --Kinu t/c 07:09, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment The editor of the article has made an unsigned comment on the talk page of "Don't Delete it". JoshuaZ 07:14, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
    • I've welcomed him on his talk page and requested that he make his comment to this page instead. -- stillnotelf has a talk page 07:17, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Question I can understand why you would want to delete this page, as it may seem pointless. Yet there is no harm in having it up, it is just a character that our D&D community has built, and we would like to let other people take a look. It has a decent amount of writing, and there doesn't seem to be a major reason to delete it, although it does seem pointless to you. -Sniper28
  • Question Also, I wanted to know how to make the second part of celer's physical description to be not italicized, and if that can't be done I wanted to know how to make the entire thing italicized. The word document I copied and pasted wasn't italicized, and I can't find the italics code in the article either. Please help me. -Sniper28

Comment: Hey, suppose this is gamecruft? I believe the purpose of Wiki is a free encyclopedia. This is a referance to a very popular character in a fairly large DnD community.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.82.176.29 (talk • contribs) 23:50, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

  • The problem with the italics is that there were additional '' symbols (two apostrophes, as opposed to a single double-quote mark) which generate italics in Wikipedia. Delete due to lack of evidence that this character is known to a large community. --Metropolitan90 01:09, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as nn gamecruft/fancruft. MCB 23:51, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Question How can we prove it to you? signatures from different IP's? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sniper28 (talk • contribs) 23:53, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Prove what? That it's a large community...? The size of the community is irrelevant, it's still an internal matter of the group, not encyclopedia material. -- stillnotelf is invisible 02:13, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Question Can any of you fix th format of the backstory? A box with a link to this deletion discussion covers up the bottom part of the story.
  • Keep it This is a popular character, My friends consistantly use this page as a referance for a character. This is not being used as free webhosting, just a referance, which is what encyclopedias are designed to do. In any case, I am in favor of this site being kept.
