[edit] Wind Dukes of Aaqa
Notability of the subject cannot be establised from independent reliable sources. Sources listed are all D&D related publications. Regardless, there is no real world context for this information. Pilotbob 02:41, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

- delete - has no or little presence in the real world. Law & Disorder 06:40, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep The Wind Dukes have a history dating back to the Rod of Seven Parts from the 1979 Dungeon Master's Guide. If the article is kept, it needs to be edited to reflect this. BOZ 18:12, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

- thats a reason to keep? what about the notability issues? Law & Disorder 17:46, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, per BOZ. Several D&D products have been influenced by the Wind Dukes, including a novel, a boxed set, and an Adventure Path. Also, this propossal is Cruftcruft, and a result of Pilotbob wishing to disrupt Wikipedia to make a point.--Robbstrd 21:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

- Comment Robbstrd unjustified attempt to discredit the nominator is out of order; if he had reliable secondary sources to support his assertion, you would have thought he would have put them in the article when he wrote it. --Gavin Collins 09:19, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Dungeon & Dragon are both reliable secondary sources.--Robbstrd 19:40, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Game-related deletions. --Gavin Collins 08:45, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as this article has insufficient content, context or reliable secondary sources to demonstrate the notability of fictional characters outside of the game settings from which they are derived. --Gavin Collins 09:09, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- comment i don't see anyone giving evidence why this is notable. Law/Disorder 14:48, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Please see my comments about the novel, boxed set, etc.--Robbstrd 19:40, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

- Comment: Check the references. Dungeon #124, 129, & the Age of Worms Overload are published by an independent company.--Robbstrd 23:26, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- Indeed, in the old days, TSR's wacky lawyers would have sued someone just for having an accessible web page on the topic. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 22:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

- delete - cruft, no real world perspective, no secondary sources, Wikipedia's not a role-playing game manual. I wish there'd be a D&D Wikipedia to transwiki these things into. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 22:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
