[edit] Gully dwarves

Fictional, non-encyclopedic, and possibly vanity. Binadot 22:19, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Not vanity; they're from Dragonlance. I'm 90% sure this is a copyvio, though; the first half appears verbatim in [1], and the rest looks very much like it was pulled verbatim from the same source that lifted it from. —Korath (Talk) 22:46, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
    • (I have no problem with an article existing here in the future, for the record. —Korath (Talk) 04:48, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC))
    • On further inspection, most of this user's contributions look like more of the same; anyone have the original modules and/or later sourcebook reprints to check? —Korath (Talk) 23:23, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
      • We should contact him and ask, probably. Radiant! 09:10, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Rewrite and keep. Gully dwarves are a notable race in the Dragonlance books. But of course copying the text off another website is not a good way to write an article. — JIP | Talk 05:52, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I do believe it's copyvio. However, the race itself should at least be a redirect to Dragonlance, to be broken out when (if) sufficient information is there to present its own article. See also kender. Radiant! 09:10, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Rewrite - JIP said it all. --Bletch 19:22, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Rewrite and keep—notable race in Dragonlance world. Someone really needs to expand kender, too...they were always my favorites. Postdlf 14:14, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Rewrite and keep if possible, as it's a fairly notable race from Dragonlance. Otherwise delete the copyright violation and wait until someone creates a real article. Psychonaut 10:06, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
