[edit] Warriors (book series) herbs

Where to start? Not encyclopedic, list cruft, WP:V, ... Content duplicates that already in Warriors (book series) (which i'm not listing for AFD but would appreciate some eyeballs on along with Warriors: The New Prophecy characters (book series), Warriors Characters (book series) and Firestar (Warriors).

• I do not agree, the wiki staff even SAID the Warriors article needed clean-up, and some stuff should be moved to different pages. It does not duplicate any articles. Thylacine lover 03:35, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

  I've not checked but it's unlikely that any of the few paid Wikipedia staff said that, what is likely is that another editor (just like you) said it should be tidied up. And Warriors (book series) certainly does need a good clean, but its length really isn't a concern - it's non-encyclopedic tone certainly is. Consider "Plot summaries. Wikipedia articles on works of fiction should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, not solely a summary of that work's plot. A plot summary may be appropriate as an aspect of a larger article." from the WP:ISNOT policy.

  Warriors (book series) herbs really is just fancruft and an indiscriminate collection of information. Thanks/wangi 04:13, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete -- purely a list of disconnected information. Sdedeo (tips) 04:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Most of these uses aren't specific to Warriors - poppy (to take the first one as an example) is well-known to be the source of opium, which will indeed "numb pain and make (the patient) drowsy". In fact, there don't appear to be any herbs here, besides "rat bile", which are used differently in this fictional universe than they are in the real world.

• Delete per nominator. JIP | Talk 09:07, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete not only are herbs used in a certain book or series not particularly encyclopedic, as noted above there aren't even specific to the Warriors series anyway. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per all of the above. Badbilltucker 21:19, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

You do realize that if you delete this article, you delete all of the herb info to, right? Also, it's not "rat bile" it's mouse bile. Most of the herbs uses are correct. Thylacine lover 03:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
