The result was delete. A note to Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles: Traffic does not confer notability as we understand that term. If we were to host porn or warez, they would get much traffic, but that would not make them suitable content for an encyclopedia.  Sandstein  18:17, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are no sources independent of White Wolf to demonstrate notability of this role-playing game terminology. This also seems to seriously violate WP#NOTGUIDE in terms of being game guide material, and is 99% in-universe material. (While being in-universe isn't a reason for deletion, after removing the in-universe material from this article, we are basically left with nothing.) --Craw-daddy | T | 21:00, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - no assertion of notability via significant coverage by reliable sources independent of the topic. Lots of WP:GAMEGUIDE material as well. sephiroth bcr (converse) 21:58, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This article isn't substantiated by reliable outside sources, which is a prerequisite for inclusion. Most of its content is in-universe game-guidey stuff. Wikipedia is NOT a place to reproduce content from game rule books, and it should not be allowed to become that. Reyk YO! 23:21, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep due to notability to a real world audience and verifiability. I cannot imagine any reason why at worst this article wouldn't be redirected with the non-hoax, non-libelous edit history intact. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 18:04, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep due to the fact the article World of Darkness is long (and can be even longer, since the recption is not mentioned in detail) and this set of RPG games has complicated settings not able to be fully described in one article. Japanese Wikipedia also often separates fictional characters, organisations, places or objects from the main fictional work article swhen the articles are too full and everything except common sense to their fans is verifiable, so we should not delete this kind of articles just due to "non-notability" or "99% in-universe". --RekishiEJ (talk) 14:02, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not arguing to delete because it's mostly in-universe material (as I pointed out in my argument), but I am arguing to delete for non-notability. If we don't delete things for that reason, what other reason do we appeal to here? Notability is the standard that's been established, and this article doesn't demonstrate it. --Craw-daddy | T | 20:58, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
