High Elf (Warcraft)

Despite how a Merge template have recently been placed, I feel the contents of this article still do not belong as it is unsourced, unnotable fancruft with plot summaries that would just increase to the already overloaded article it was targeted to that is also going through an Articles for deletion.

There are no sources whatsoever, let alone third-party sources to depict notability, as non-players of the Warcraft series would have little to no interest in reading this article.

It has mainly fancruft which can easily attract original research, furthering itself away from being properly sourced.

Finally, it basically contains plot summaries, which is what Wikipedia is not. Such content are generally not wanted here. IAmSasori 22:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The article has no notability, and as such is just plot recitation. Judgesurreal777 22:56, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect into/to Playable races in the Warcraft series. Delete Not notable enough for separate article, no out-of-universe perspective. Pagra shtak 16:21, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Playable races in the Warcraft series is itself up for deletion, so a merge would be premature at this time. Bryan Derksen (talk) 09:48, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete only has in-universe notability, does not meet notability standards for fiction. The fact that the article that could contain this info, Playable races in the Warcraft series, is also up for deletion makes it less likely to be notable, not more.

Merge with some other Warcraft article. Shinigami27 (talk) 13:21, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect→Azeroth (Warcraft)#Native races and tag with Template:R to list entry, thus satisfying the notability issue (this template implies that the redirected title is not sufficiently notable for retention of a stand-alone article). I am not advocating merger, merely redirection. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 17:22, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
