The result wasNo consensus While I do not believe that the bit of "confusion" by the nominator is enough to abandon the AfD, I can't ignore that there isn't a clear consensus to delete this article. The suggested merge target has been deleted, so that idea won't work. Users are welcome to merge this article elsewhere (that doesn't require the AfD process).-Andrew c [talk] 15:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ket (Greyhawk)

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

Not to be confused with the Ket people of Siberia, this article non-notable fictional race is not backed up by independent sources, but is largely an in universe plot summary.--Gavin Collins 11:26, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of science fiction & fantasy deletions --Gavin Collins 11:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete As stated above, NN, no WP:RS, and absolutely no attempt to back up notability outside of the campaign/D&D. MrZaiustalk 13:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge with Realms of the Flanaess; otherwise keep. This article is about a political state, rather than a race or plot summary. The topic of Greyhawk iself is sufficiently notable to be retained. This is a significant detail about the setting and should be retained in some form. — RJH (talk) 16:49, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge. The fact that User:Gavin.collins thinks the article is about a race shows that he hasn't read it.--Robbstrd 00:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Response on 15 July 2007 Robbstrd wrote "The native folk of Ket resemble the mix of cultures that crowd the nation's marketplaces......Racially speaking, Kettites are the least typical of the Baklunish folk [1]". If this is not about a race, I don't know what is. --Gavin Collins 08:43, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Response It is not about a race, but a region. Again your lack of understanding and ignorance is doing more damage. Web Warlock 15:07, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep or Merge place this in Realms of the Flanaess as per above. Web Warlock 15:07, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Abandon and relist as elsewhere, the article doesn't meet the notability criteria as I understand them, but the nomination bears no resemblence to the nominated article. Percy Snoodle 15:25, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, pure game guide material. --Stormie 02:48, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Abandon, default to keep for this AfD - as above, I can't in good faith support such a nomination. --Kizor 16:38, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
