[edit] Karsus

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

Previously deleted for claims of blatant copyright violation, the article was nominated for deletion review where the copyvio issue remained unresolved. The article was recreated in shortened form during the nomination, so while copyvio issues might have been resolved, there are notability and sourcing problems remaining, so community discussion seems in order. My editorial opinion is delete unless rewritten and sourced from independent sources/speedy delete if copyvio issues can be substantiated. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 13:32, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment I just noticed that this was essentially a partial restoration of the prior content. I stubbed the article, check the edit history and the WP mirror for the longer versions. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 13:47, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - this is a very minor character who really does not need their own page. Web Warlock (talk) 15:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect into List of Forgotten Realms deities#Others, where he already appears. BOZ (talk) 16:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
    • don't think there is mergeable content in the current article. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 16:35, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Then just redirect - there's no need for a delete. BOZ (talk) 23:01, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
        • Yes if the history contains no usable content other than an alleged copyvio. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 14:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
          • Is anybody actualy trying to determine that, or has this process just stalled out? :) If someone rewrote it from scratch would that help any, or is it just going to be deleted and/or redirected no matter what? BOZ (talk) 22:31, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete and maybe redirect per Webwarlock and BOZ. Hobit (talk) 16:23, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • merge to some list of characters from FR if he is really noteworthy or delete if there is really no content on him that wouldn't be copied straight from a published product. i myself have never heard of this character in 24+ years of playing D&D nor 30+ years of knowing of D&D. shadzar|Talk|contribs 02:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
