The result was merged by User:Yngvarr. Since it's been merged we can't delete for GFDL reasons, and the redirects are useful anyway. Non-admin closure. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 10:02, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ironforge

Ironforge (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

In light of the recent mass Warcraft AfD, I am now nominating Ironforge for deletion. My reasons:

• WP:N. This article is not notable, because no reliable source has covered it in a non trivial way, i.e. it has never been the primary subject of any reliable source.
• WP:NOT#GUIDE. Wikipedia is not a gameguide, meaning that we do not teach nor show people how to play a game. This article contains several paragraphs which belong in a game guide without doubt. The second paragraph of History, the list in Structure, and much of the Trivia are examples of this.
• WP:V. Specifically, it is impossible to find a reliable source for many of the statements in the article. Note that this point ignores the (according to me) irrelevant fact that it currently contains no sources.
• If all mentions of the above kinds were removed, a very small article would remain. In fact, just about as small as the summary of this city in List of major cities in World of Warcraft.

• Comment Actually, if you notice the history for List of major cities in World of Warcraft, I've been merging the cities into here. For some reason, I missed both Ironforge and the Exodar! I'll get around to it shortly, unless someone else feels like merging these last two in a similar manner. Yngvarr (t) (c) 09:17, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

• Clarification It looks like I did what I wanted to do, but just forgot to apply the redir! As implied above, this one just slipped my mind, and I apparently never finished the chore... [1]! I think the basic procedure is that when a merge occurs, you don't delete the original article so that you don't loose the edit history (based on GFDL). I will apply the redirect now. My apologies for the troubles and for not finishing the task I set out to do; it would have saved you all the trouble of this AfD. Yngvarr (t) (c) 11:57, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

• Wait for Yngvarr to retrieve valuable information and merhe it into List of major cities in World of Warcraft, then delete. per nom, WP:N. Nothing more to be said. ~ | twsx | ^talk_cont | 11:15, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT#GUIDE, WP:RS, WP:N, and WP:V. STORMTRACKER 94 12:49, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
• Close the articles are redirects now, good job Yngvarr--Lenticel ^(talk) 13:06, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
