[edit] Lesser realm

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

Unreferenced gamecruft neologism with no references beyond a couple of forum posts to support it. ~Matticus TC 09:46, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment I removed the unsourced image and forum spam. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 09:49, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete This is clearly neologism in nature. The use of neologism should be avoided in Wikipedia articles because they are not well understood, are not clearly definable, and will have different meanings to different people. There is also concerns over notability and verifiability as well in this article. --Siva1979Talk to me 10:09, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment This is a cultural phenomenon and is very real, how do you prove a cultural phenomenon so fresh it can not be tracked back to anything but community discussions to ignorant people like you? Stop deleting information you do not understand, the world does go beyond your noses. [1] See for yourselves. Pangbulle 11:49, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
    • I do understand it, and while WoW is indeed a cultural phenomenon, the term this article describes appears to be made up one day, unsupported by reliable sources, and lacking any evidence of widespread usage[2] to support a even brief mention in the Realm (World of Warcraft) section of the main article, let alone an article on its own. ~Matticus TC 13:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Per nom. Article also seems to exist only to boast the one game realm mentioned, which is kind of POV. ~ | twsx | talkcont | 12:24, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and Possibly Transwiki If any reliable sources can be found (unlikely as that may be) Transwiki to Wiktionary. If no sources can be provided delete per WP:NEO TonyBallioni 14:35, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki Done. [3] Delete--victor falk 20:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:NEO.--Bedivere 21:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete nonsense, probably a term (neologism) coined by one guild that isn't in widespread use, let alone verifiable. Melsaran (talk) 09:45, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Game-related deletions. --Gavin Collins 09:45, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as this one line stub has insufficient content.--Gavin Collins 09:45, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
