Ages of Myst III: Exile

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

Article has become stagnant game guide material that hasn't been modified or improved upon in any way for some time. No effort to assert real-world importance has been made in all this time.

I am also nominating the following related pages because of the same reasons:

 * Delete, this is all unreferenced, original research that can only be verified by playing the games. The Ages of Myst have not been covered by reliable secondary sources so this fails WP:N and WP:VGSCOPE points 1, 5 and 6. -- Sabre (talk) 10:39, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - These are completely unnecessary minor plot points that do not need any expansion outside of the games in which they appear. The lists don't attempt to establish that the topics are actually notable, so deletion is a good idea. TTN (talk) 18:14, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - there are mentions of the ages in game reviews, etc, but these do not extend beyond trivial mentions, e.g. "Age X has Y and Z." There is information on some of the ages, but these were from the more popular games and merged into Myst and Riven a while ago. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 20:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as these topics are completely non-notable, lacking significant coverage in reliable third-party sources. Probably a violation of WP:NOT and WP:VGSCOPE for going into more detail than is necessary to summarize the game's plot. Randomran (talk) 21:19, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete mostly; each game article can state "The Ages in this game include blah blah" to briefly summarize them (and provide useful redirect targets); I don't believe there's anything to salvage for individual Ages otherwise. --M ASEM 21:35, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as completely unencyclopedic. -- nips (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 21:51, 29 September 2008 (UTC).
 * Delete all per most of the reasons above. Original research does not help pwn teh internets. Also signs of snow. MuZemike  ( talk ) 23:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete all - No assertion of notability through reliable sources. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 15:08, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete all – per above. All of them fail WP:NOT and WP:VGSCOPE. — sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 21:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete all by pelting them with snowballs. MuZemike  ( talk ) 01:12, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
