[edit] Spawn of Tiamat

Spawn of Tiamat (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A list of non-notable dragons that has no real world context. These dragons cannot meet the notability requirements of WP:FICT due to lack of reliable secondary sources. Pilotbob 22:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Game-related-related deletions. -- Pilotbob 22:28, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - No significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. Subdolous 22:39, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable enough. For example, see review in which the subject is highlighted as being the best part of Monster Manual IV. And coverage in Dragon #260. There's also something about the real world Spawn of Tiamat in Harran by Seton Lloyd & William Brice, Anatolian Studies, Vol. 1, 1951 (1951), pp. 77-111. Colonel Warden 23:43, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as pure spawn spam. No primary or reliable secondary sources, no notability at all. A mention in a book review is about as much evidence of notability as a listing in a telephone directory, and citing sources that have no relation to these fictional instances of Tiamt is just misleading. --Gavin Collins 14:21, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Colonol Warden. Gavin, I think you need to look up the definition of "spam"--this article is far from it--Robbstrd 04:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment That was a joke, but not a funny one I'd admit.--Gavin Collins 22:46, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and merge - I think this would be a decent footnote in another article which provides more context. Keep the content that isn't just rambling on about the plot details, and merge. -Harmil 06:00, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
