[edit] RuneScape gods

• Merge with Runescape article if not already in there. Not notable by itself. --Chanting Fox 04:55, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

• Merge Sholtar 04:50, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Fancruft Stancel 16:17, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I'm not quite sure what the proposer intended here. No, the material in this article is not already in the RuneScape article, and you could easily have checked this yourself. Merge and delete causes problems with the GFDL. But there seems a lot of information here; If it's accurate and encyclopedic, merging it to the already large parent article doesn't seem a good idea anyway. If it's not accurate, perhaps discuss it as the talk page, or link to the discussion from here if you've already discussed it elsewhere. See also Talk:RuneScape#RuneScape gods on VfD.

• Delete. Fancruft. Nestea 18:10, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, verifiable fictional topic, best as a separate article. Kappa 18:39, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. ✏ OvenFresh² 21:21, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Fancruft, as such it can only properly be understood within the context of the source of the fictional content. I'd vote to merge to RuneScape but it looks like all the useful information is already there. Gmaxwell 21:23, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 22:03, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep. -Sean Curtin 01:21, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, cruft. Megan1967 04:06, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. --Unfocused 05:21, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep -- Dsmdgold 22:19, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete in agreement with Gmaxwell, unless admin thinks any material not already in parent article needs to be merged there. Not clear whether it's really fancruft or can be found in the publisher's books, but either way it's game trivia with only a tangential effect on play. And it's quite an incomplete list, to boot.

• Merge. I have to agree with Barno on the incompleteness of the article. --Infobacker 12:49, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge, WP:FICT. Radiant_* 13:11, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
• KEEP Kingturtle 02:05, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with RuneScape →Iñgōlemo← ^talk 03:15, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
• Keep Information is accurate, and RuneScape article already too long without merging more into it. There isn't enough info for it yet, but ideally in the long run we would have a RuneScape_fiction article, of which 'gods' would just be one subsection. That way the info could be put into context, and it would be easier for non players to understand, and would also keep any fictional backstory to a single article. Runefire 05:42, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
