Please note that I do not nominate these articles together due to a previous trainwreck. It would be appreciated that you do NOT merge these Articles for deletions together, as the previous decision was to decide on the values of each article separately.
As there is a huge majority of articles that need to go through an AfD (literally over 100), the reasons listed may not be as relevant to this article as it would be another. Either way, they all appear to have the same problems and still must be noted to make a decision.
This character article appears to comprised of unsourced, unnotable, fancruft.
This article has little to no third-party sources, with usually the only source being on another wiki, a gaming site, or the Blizzard website.
This article is also not notable to non-Warcraft players, as chances are, a complete stranger to the series would not read this article at all, failing real-world notability.
Finally, this article is most likely fancruft, possibly created through original research. These are mostly unwelcome, continuing on the basis that non-players would have no interest in it.
This article is nominated individually to prevent another trainwreck from occurring while also allowing editors to individually decide which article should stay and which should go. The above reasons are as to why each of these articles should be deleted, whether they are completely relevant or hardly relevant. IAmSasori 21:55, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep; (a) try properly AfDing it, which is clearly described on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion and does not involve moving the old page, and (b) if you're going to avoid a mass deletion, then avoid a mass deletion and treat each article distinctly. Don't post a bunch of reasons the article should be deleted and then state that they may not be relevant. Furthermore, the claim that a complete stranger to the series would not read this article at all is wrong, given the number of times I've went to Wikipedia trying to understand an out-of-context quip someone made, and irrelevant. A complete stranger to English literature isn't going to try and look up Moby Dick. Someone not familiar with Australia isn't going to look up Robert Askin. Not every article in Wikipedia has to be for everyone.--Prosfilaes 22:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete violates WP:Plot and WP:OR, while the game Warcraft is notable. The fiction and characters within it are not. Ridernyc 22:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as fancruft. Bobby1011 06:40, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No indication of significant coverage from secondary sources to demostrate notability per WP:FICT. Also fails WP:NOT#PLOT. Doctorfluffy 17:20, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Keep - one of the links leads to the official Warcraft site(!). Such as source can't be considered "secondary" Dimts 19:31, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
