GURPS Bio-Tech

This article about a set of gaming instructions does not contain context or sourced analysis, detail on a work's development, impact or historical significance to establish notability under WP:Fiction, nor has not received coverage from reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. --Gavin Collins 07:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, redirect and update in List of GURPS books - There is a review at RPGnet ([1]), which in terms of on-line RPG coverage is about as reliable as we're going to get. However, the entry on List of GURPS books is probably enough, with the addition of the Origins Award nomination reference and a ref to the above review for verification. (The list also needs publication dates and whatnot, but that's a different discussion.) Marasmusine 08:05, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of GURPS books: I'll do the merging of the essential data myself as soon as possible. (Once more, Gavin, you have seen that non-award-recipient, non-core books get redirected without problems, with or without an AfD debate: why don't you redirect them in the first place? And, this is not an article "about topics within a fictional universe", which WP:Fiction is about: this is about a real, possibly non-notable subject in this universe.)

(OT: Marasmusine, perhaps one could try to discuss, in the RPG WikiProject or somewhere, some specific guidelines for the notability of role-playing and boardgames, in view of the fact that they have a very different distribution and press coverage than, say, movies or novels?) --Goochelaar 12:54, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep — One of a handful of Origin award nominees makes it mildly notable in the industry. At worst it should be a redirect to List of GURPS books with a summary paragraph. — RJH (talk) 15:26, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The article says it was not a winner, but I suppose it was nominated. Incidently, are you or have you every worked for the publisher, Steve Jackson Games? --Gavin Collins 20:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
