Article fails WP:SOURCES by relying on primary sources. Article was set to redirect to Eldar (Warhammer 40,000), but has been restored - deleting the article would prevent this happening again. -- JediLofty Follow me 09:09, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


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

  • Delete- excessively lengthy plot summary with no references outside of Games Workshop. Reyk YO! 10:36, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Without coverage in reliable sources, it is just an unnecessary plot summary. TTN (talk) 19:31, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
  • This article should be kept due to coverage in a published encyclopedia. --Elisabeth Rogan (talk) 06:42, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
    • Does it have any real-world information though, which is what matters for fiction articles? – sgeureka 08:19, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment- that encyclopedia is a primary source. That is, it's a source that is too closely associated with the subject to confer notability. For that you need reliable, independent sources (for example newspaper articles, scientific papers, critical reviews etc). This is one of our most important policies. If we didn't demand proper secondary sources, Misplaced Pages could become swamped with articles on all sorts of rubbish. Every blog, incoherent conspiracy theory, dodgy youtube video and adolescent fanfic would end up here and that would be a Very Bad Thing. That's not to say primary sources are useless. They can be invaluable in sourcing facts for the article and fleshing it out, once notability is established by other means. If primary sources are all you've got, however, the article will not meet WP:N. Reyk YO! 08:23, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per Doctorfluffy. It is doubtful that a decent article (i.e. one that doesn't violate any policies and guidelines) could ever be made out of this. – sgeureka 08:19, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
