[edit] The Green Dragon
I am also nominating the following related articles
- The Forsaken Inn (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Inn of the Prancing Pony (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
These articles cite no secondary sources and I do not believe any could be found – they therefore fail the primary notability criteria (WP:NN) and as there is no real world content (apart from namesakes which don't seem like a criteria for inclusion) the notability criteria for fiction (WP:FICT. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information (WP:NOT#INFO) and this may count as fancruft. Middle-earth may be notable but that does not mean that every establishment within it is, notability is not inherited. The article may contain information deemed useful to some but that does not mean it belongs on Wikipedia. Guest9999 07:51, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep all and merge where needed. Please see Category:Wikiproject Middle-earth to be merged, and the discussions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Middle-earth for the ongoing efforts at merging. This will take time, but has been proceding. For examples, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Middle-earth#Models for merges for examples of list articles that have been created by merging. Give us time, and more of the ones above will be merged as well. Carcharoth 10:18, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep all and merge where needed. The content of the articles is important, but could most likely serve its purpose on a page which lists minor structures in Arda. The information available on these subjects is not going to increase in size so they most likely do not need an entire article devoted to them. Keeping the articles for now and allowing the Middle-earth project to have time to merge the articles is probably the best solution in my opinion. --Hyarion 13:33, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
- Withdraw nomination and close without prejudice - I still think that they violate several policies, WP:NN, WP:FICT, WP:OR, WP:V, WP:RS, WP:NOT#INFO, etc. but maybe at this stage an AfD isn't the best way to sort out the problems. [[Guest9999 15:02, 18 August 2007 (UTC)]]
- Delete & USERFY all to the Middle Earth WP and have them merge at their discretion, but at this point, it is failing WP:N and WP:FICT in lacking real world significant coverage from reliable sources Corpx 15:42, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
