The result was Redirect to Warcraft universe. The nom sums it up really; an unsourced article with no content other than a plot summary and gameguide. If there is actually any encyclopedic information available, merging to the parent article would be unexceptionable, though I suggest that writing such a section from scratch in a less in-universe manner would be preferable.ELIMINATORJR 00:15, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quel'Thalas

Quel'Thalas (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

While a merge has been recently proposed, there are still too many issues with this article such as no sources, lack of notability, and comprising mainly of gamecruft and plot summaries for any proper merging.

There are no sources whatsoever on this article.

With that, there are no third party sources to establish its notability to the real world, suggesting that readers who do not play the Warcraft series would have little to no interest in reading this article.

Half of this article appears to comprise of gamecruft which in turn would most likely attract original research, furthering itself from being properly sourced. There is even already hints of speculation in the article to prove such.

Finally, the other half of the article is nothing but a plot summary, which Wikipedia is not.

These issues, along with the fact that the article hardly has any attempts to rectify its problems for over a year, give little reason for the article to stand alone, let alone be merged to another target. IAmSasori (talk) 22:53, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

True, and it was only this one and Azeroth so I thought It'd be ok. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non notable. Does not need its own article. Delete per nom. Keeper | 76 23:28, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I agree with the nominators assessment of the notability and game-guide nature of this article, and support its deletion. I (talk) 04:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Strong Delete - Look, there is already a Warcraft Universe article, which covers all the fictional story elements of the Warcraft universe. Notice how it has NO REFERENCES? Does that not show very plainly the difficulty of making an article just about this fictional region/country when there isn't even enough creation information yet found for the whole of the Warcraft universe? I say, delete, and then focus on building up the Warcraft Universe article, and then if that article is bursting at the seams, we can start recreating articles like this one and making it good.

Merge to the appropriate location. Judgesurreal, try not to paste the same thing in multiple AfDs as it implies you are just voting and not actually presenting an argument. Jtrainor (talk) 20:03, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, people get all screamy when you mass nom, so he had to list separately, and there's no real purpose to writing something slightly different each time when the thrust of the argument is the same. I (talk) 06:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect with/to Warcraft universe. In itself, this topic is not notable enough. The Warcraft universe article should deal with stuff like this. Note that I vote for an abbreviated version of the article to be merged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fogeltje (talk • contribs) 18:04, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
