1632 series battles

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Entirely fictional battles. No indication of real-world notability. The excessive quotations could also be a copyright concern. Ricky81682 (talk) 17:38, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Can't quote Wikipedia chapter and verse about relevant guidelines, but I like nerdy lists like this one and would hate to see it go. Favonian (talk) 18:55, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Jack Merridew's comment below about the European angle swayed me.  Favonian (talk) 10:52, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete no sources (chapter), content fork designed to violate WP:PLOT (verse). Blast Ulna (talk) 19:41, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to1632 series. Edward321 (talk) 00:59, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as a massive dump of plot. Note that it also includes fair chunks of the actual plot as quotes. The books themselves are marginally notable; the elements are not. There's a word for this sort of literature: unencyclopædic trash (ya, two words, take your choice;) Cheers, Jack Merridew 07:48, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete relies on primary source(s) only. All 19 so-called references start with "Flint...". This "Flint" is the author of these books. Abductive (talk) 08:44, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That's why I changed the section heading to "Notes". Cheers, Jack Merridew 09:40, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: a precis, for non-fans: A bunch of good old boys from modern-day West Virgina find themselves and their whole town in 1632 Germany in the middle of the Thirty Years' War. They join the melee by opening a can of whup-ass and teaching the huns a thing or two; like what it's like to be attacked with a Caterpillar Mining Truck while you're armed with a pike. There are a lot more books as the boys go and start the American Revolution a century and a half early and teach those Europeans how to run a continent. They found the the United States of Europe.

 * Sort of a fan of alternate history and even read some of these but this is too much detail and too poorly sourced. Cut back drastically and merge. ++Lar: t/c 17:01, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I did cut the Mining-Truck-Cruft™ ;) Have fun up thar; Ye-ha, Jack Merridew 03:32, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I dunno what to say...is the series notable? How much commentary is there about it? Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:45, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Waal teh book sell reel gud; teh boys just eat'em up — teh books, as well as some them-thar Europeon womenz: Becky Stearns.
 * The franchise also has a really extensive effort on the modern-day internet; take, for example, their link-spam template on enwiki: 1632 links. But there's more, oh-so-much-more, and it's mostly implemented with intricate templates designed to cement the walled garden into place by presenting an impenetrable template syntax to wiki editors.
