Speedy deletion nomination of Crown of the Kobold King


A tag has been placed on Crown of the Kobold King, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:04, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Revenge of the Kobold King


The article Revenge of the Kobold King has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unremarkable role-playing game module. No significant claims of notability, no references.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Proposed deletion of Hungry are the dead


The article Hungry are the dead has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * I can't find any significant amount of unrelated third-party sourcing for this subject, as such it does not seem to be notable.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Sourcing
Hello! Just to let you know, the reason you're seeing so many deletion requests here is because your articles do not appear to be reliably sourced. Articles are required to have substantial amounts of reference material written by parties unrelated to the subject and which is specifically about the article subject.

In some cases, that type of reference material does not exist. That means, unfortunately, that the article topic is not an appropriate one for Wikipedia. If you would like to provide detailed and in-universe material about a fictional universe, you may want to consider a fan wiki&mdash;generally, fiction minutiae or minor works do not meet the notability guideline. Seraphimblade Talk to me 05:56, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Crown
So, if I take another stab at Crown of the Kobold King and it mirrors, say, The Star Cairns, dungeons and dragons module, it would be acceptable? There are several dungeons and dragons modules on Wikipedia that seem substantively the same as the page I created. How was 'Crown' unambiguous advertising and the D&D modules aren't? &mdash; via e-mail
 * The Star Cairns is a bad example to choose. It is almost as short on evidence of notability as your submissions. If you can actually provide links to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources, then your articles may stick. But take note of Seraphimblade (above). &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:20, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
