The result was Merge to Vampire (World of Darkness). The Placebo Effect (talk) 15:50, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In-game term with no real-world notability. Fails WP:N, WP:RPG/N. Disputed prod. Percy Snoodle (talk) 14:47, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't necessarily disagree, but note that other WoD pages had linked to this entry which redirected to Inconnu, which made more sense; I filled out (somewhat) an existing lacuna. If this page goes, for consistency so should many other World of Darkness pages. See the Talk page for prior discussion. Mindstalk (talk) 03:21, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Delete, I don't know what other articles exist (and whether they should be merged/deleted) but this one certainly establishes no notability. On reading it, I don't think there's even any real reason to try and merge it given the sparsity of sourced material or even information. Epthorn 12:14, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Vampire (World of Darkness) Umbralcorax 18:44, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Vampire (World of Darkness). This does not seem to have much importance outside the realms of that game. Capitalistroadster 18:47, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Game-related deletions. --Gavin Collins 13:07, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as this stub has no real world content, particularly primary and secondary sources, just unsubstantiated plot summary. --Gavin Collins 09:05, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge -- merging will involve duplication, since the concept is in both Vampire games. As for the previous comment: plot summary? What plot? It's a concept in a game. And that goes for "real world content" as well -- game, fictional. A plot summary of Pride and Prejudice won't have real world content either. And there are two reference right there in the article. Which, yes, is minimal; I don't play Vampire, I just know enough to add something to what was an empty and misguided re-direct page already on Wikipedia. Mindstalk 21:09, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect to Vampire (World of Darkness) as per Umbralcorax and Capitalistroadster. Article clearly fails WP:N, but that guideline recommends we "consider merging [a problematic]...article's content into a broader article providing context" and offers as its first example "For instance, articles on minor characters in a work of fiction may be merged into a "list of minor characters in ..." This condition involving characters within a work of fiction seems very similar. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:07, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment a World of Darkness metaplot article might be very helpful; there are dozens of similar articles, as Mindstalk points out. Percy Snoodle (talk) 12:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above. Axl (talk) 11:36, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
