Gargoyles (World of Darkness)[edit]

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

I am also nominating the following related pages because the same issues apply to all of them:

I found these pages in Category:Vampire: The Dark Ages, which was nominated for discussion at WP:CFD 2013 February 8. All of them have the same terminal failing: they demonstrate absolutely zero notability. Some of these articles are entirely unreferenced; most of the rest are some referenced to the publications of the publisher of the game Vampire: The Masquerade; and some also have a few refs to fansites and other unreliable sources. In no case did I find any reference which met any of our criteria for establishing notability.

These pages appear to be an attempt to create on Wikipedia a partial manual for the games concerned, contrary to WP:NOTMANUAL. This amount of non-notable detail is not encyclopedic, and while it may belong on a fansite, it does not belong on Wikipedia. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:26, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all These lack notability and reliable third-party coverage. The articles also tend to focus entirely on the in-game issues and do not show how these things are notable in a larger context.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:13, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all - per the excellent reasoning laid out by BrownHairedGirl. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 18:56, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Albeit invoking WP:NOTMANUAL is wholly inappropriate here (nothing in the articles serve as a manual; fictional elements of games can be cited so long as they are sourced and appropriately edited), they lack independent reliable sources and thus do not meet WP:GNG - Sangrolu (talk) 19:33, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
