[edit] Creatures of Oblivion

Creatures of Oblivion (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article asserts no notability through reliable sources, and as such is just an in-universe repetition of plot elements from the Elder Scrolls games. As Wikipedia is not a gameguide, and this is all duplicative, this can be safely deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 18:10, 28 November 2007 (UTC) Judgesurreal777 (talk) 18:10, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete (copying rationale from creatures of Morrowind). Fails WP:FICT, these are magnified in-universe details which give undue weight to a very minor aspect of the Elder Scrolls series. There are no reliable secondary sources discussing these creatures in detail within the article, it is extremely unlikely that the fauna from an RPG, no matter how popular and important the genre it is, will be covered in detail by the reliable secondary sources upon which we depend to source and write articles, thus notability is not established. All popular games or series of games will have fansites, wikis and other resources devoted to them, this series is no exception, the details should be there.Someone another 17:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
