Magic in the Realm of the Elderlings[edit]

Original research essay, no real world perspective, hasn't progressed since 2006. Contested prod. Renata (talk) 18:48, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

delete Surely this level of (unsourced) detail is what the activity known as 'reading the book' is for. And I note that The Realm of the Elderlings does not itself have an entry--Elen of the Roads (talk) 00:12, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There are also articles on the Characters in the Realm of the Elderlings and Places in the Realm of the Elderlings. One solution is trimming&merging them together into The Realm of the Elderlings as a series article. The other option is to delete them alltogether. – sgeureka ^t•c 07:00, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Characters list mentions the author Robin Hobb and all the series that play in this world. I doubt we need an article on the world the novels are set in (the Realm) when we can have articles on the separate novels instead. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:30, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The magic of the world doesn't appear to be covered by the outside world and using the books themselves to draw conclusions would be original research (in contrast to giving biographical details about characters or information of places)- Mgm|^(talk) 08:30, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
