[edit] De Bellis Multitudinis

De Bellis Multitudinis (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is an unreferenced article advertising a product. The only source is the home page of the manufacturer of the product. It amounts to little more than grandiose spam. Mr Maxim 13:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment, worldcat indicates that "De Bellis Multitudinis" is used by groups on both side of the Atlantic. Wargames Research Group (WRG) appears to be quite notable, having produced a lot of books on this topic, with a number of them being cited in google scholar results. If it is found that "De Bellis Multitudinis" is a brand of product produced by WRG, I think it would be appropriate to merge this article into the WRG article.

  • Keep. I'm not into the miniatures side of wargaming, but from my understanding it is currently a popular miniatures ruleset, as the article asserts. --Groggy Dice T | C 15:29, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I believe this is popular. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 22:48, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge with Wargaming. Plus, the article desperately needs internal links - to a non-geek like myself (and most people I presume), it's abstruse, to put it mildly. --Targeman 01:24, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
    It would totally unbalance an overview-level article like wargaming to import any level of detail about a single ruleset into that article. There are hundreds of miniatures rulesets and boardgames out there. The company would be a better merge target, if it comes to that. And don't feel bad, wargaming terminology is incomprehensible to most outsiders, even moreso for those who aren't into military history. --Groggy Dice T | C 02:12, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I am surprised this is even questioned. DBM is an extremely popular ruleset for historical wargaming, and a quick google search can surely attest to the popularity it enjoys across the globe. --Agamemnon2 22:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
