Races in the Elenium

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

Was previously deleted by PROD for this reason: "Contains only WP:OR plot summary, no coverage by third party sources, fails WP:N." This also applies to the present recreation of this article. I recommend that the author read WP:WAF for advice about how to address these topics in an encyclopedic manner. Sandstein 10:21, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and salt to prevent it coming back. Reyk _YO! 11:50, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Articles like this are one of the reasons people snicker at us for being involved with Wikipedia. It is embarassing and reflects poorly on the whole project. --Griseum (talk) 13:49, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to The Elenium. I thought people laughed at Wikipedia because of innacuracies and grotesquely biased coverage of some subjects. Descriptions of key aspects of notable works of fiction would seem entirely appropriate. Freakshownerd (talk) 02:15, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I would include excessive amounts of fan trivia, such as this article, under the heading of "grotesquely biased coverage". Anyway, I do not think a merge would be appropriate because the content is unsourced and therefore not suitable to be dumped anywhere else and because The Elenium already covers this stuff in enough detail.

Trim or merge Fictional content in notable series is generally handled by well-maintained lists, and this is already a de facto list article--albeit with way too much in-universe content. Calls for salting this are unsupported--PROD deletions can be challenged by any editor and are automagically returned. If WP:LENGTH is unviolated, merge to the series' article may be appropriate.

Delete adequately covered in the main article considering there are no independent sources to WP:verify notability. Does not meet standards that would entitle it to a detailed stand-alone article. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:55, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Trim or merge per Jclemens. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 02:52, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
