Hinterlands of Khuresh

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

My primary concern is the fact that this article lacks any sources whatsoever (since 2007!). Furthermore the subject of the article fails to fulfil the Notability requirements, more specifically WP:NRVE. Another policy that also applies is WP:NOTMANUAL (Wikipedia is not a sourcebook for a fictional setting). The subject is largely unimportant for the fictional setting itself, not being one of the major fictional political factions. The subject is already mentioned in a short and proper fashion in the article Races and nations of Warhammer Fantasy#The North, East, and South and that should be more than enough. This article is IMHO just another example of WP:Fancruft. Thank you for your attention. Flamarande (talk) 14:04, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete - No sources let alone secondary sources (and thus fails to meet WP:GNG), and much of the text smacks of WP:OR. Sure, I might draw the same conclusions about the inspiration and history of the Hinterlands, but that's OR; do any secondary sources make these observations? Where is this coming from? - Sangrolu (talk) 13:33, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Again, WP:GAMEGUIDE is invoked inappropriately by a nom for a gaming AfD; nothing in this article or the last Warhammer setting book AfD resembles a how-to guide for the game. Just because someone writes about a game doesn't make it a gameguide; inasmuch as fictional settings are written about for a game (and meet the notability guidelines), they can be in wikipedia just as much as Middle-earth, Pern, etc. - Sangrolu (talk) 13:33, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
