No evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. A fictional place, with no evidence of receiving any attention outside its niche in gaming contexts. (A PROD was removed with the edit-summary "deprod; merge and redirect to Jack Scruby", which was strange, as the editor did not, in fact, take any steps to either merge or redirect.)

- Merge and redirect to Jack Scruby. Which was strange, as neither did you! I'll never understand editors who are more interested in deleting than preserving when there is a perfectly good article to merge content to. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:56, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

- Merge and redirect to Jack Scruby. This is verifiable material with a good merge target. Per our policy WP:ATD, for verifiable material, merging is preferred over deletion. --

11:18, 17 January 2020 (UTC) - Delete No indication why this should be merged into Scuby's article (whre it's already mentioned), it would just seem like a WP:SALESGUIDE entry to me. – sgeureka t•c 16:34, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- Merge to Jack Scruby - While there is not much actual content in this article that would really need to be merged, the sources, particularly the "Atlas of Fantasy", would be useful to include on Jack Scruby's page, as the brief coverage of Mafrica there currently has no citations.

- Merge as suggested. If it had WP:SIGCOV on its own, then it could be notable, such as Grand Fenwick, but it doesn't. Bearian (talk) 18:29, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
