The result was Merge to World of Eberron. There's a wide range of suggested outcomes here, but that seems to be the one with the fewest objections. Hut 8.5 14:50, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This does not establish notability independent of Eberron through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of overly in-depth plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

Redirect to ~~Eberron~~ World of Eberron. This has some small potential to be notable, thanks to the popularity of the Eberron campaign setting (and DDO), but I don't see any reliable sources in my searches. I suggest it be redirected to the campaign setting, and if someone can demonstrate notability, it can be recreated. Merge is also possible, but I don't really see the point in trying to move any of this in-universe writing to the main article. It would just get tagged as original research, unsourced, and/or deleted. Still, if people want to try merging it in, I'm not against that.

transwiki to some gamer site that would love this cruft. as it is solely sourced to primary non independent sources, per WP:GNG the article itself will need to be deleted, merged (if there is any appropriate content and target article - although with only primary sources, there is probably not much worthy of merging) or turned into a redirect. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:38, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge to World of Eberron. BOZ (talk) 15:28, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
merge or keep I can't myself determine if it's significant enough for a separate article, but it should certainly not be deleted. Asking for deletion is saying that we should not even have a cross-reference, that someone who comes here and looks for it will find nothing. Has the nom any reason to say that such is appropriate? If there's no reason gainst redirection, we shouldn;t be asking for deletion. Asking for real wold details is relevant only if wee are discussing the WP coverage of the entire work (or, in this case, group of works. When a fictional universe is so complicated or important or has so many different manifestations, that w need to divide up the coverage (as we certainly do for this one), then the individual parts of it will some of them necessarily be about only the in-universe portions. Otherwise, it's like asking that a subarticle on someone's Scientific work doesn't talk about his Life--in a split article, that's inevitable. If one really thinks this way, we can solve it by rtaining all the content and merging it into asingle very long article, but that's not a useful arrangement.

can you point out the policy basis of your claim " Asking for real wold details is relevant only if wee are discussing the WP coverage of the entire work " - I am pretty sure that no such rider exists at WP:GNG. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:41, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Merge into/Redirect to World of Eberron. The topic fails to establish its notability because it is only sourced to primary sources. Our notability guideline requires "significant coverage from multiple reliable, secondary and independent sources" for each separate article per WP:NRVE, that threshold is not negotiable and it is obviously not met here.Folken de Fanel (talk) 17:08, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect into World of Eberron. The info is verifiable in authoritative sources and the topic is a reasonable search term. Per WP:PRESERVE, merging of verifiable topics is preferable to deletion and WP:ATD-M seems to apply here, Pages about non-notable fictional elements are generally merged into list articles or articles covering the work of fiction in which they appear. --Mark viking (talk) 17:24, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
