Corrupted Blood
WP:NN. Should be merged into World of Warcraft. By the standard of this article, every event in the game would be an article. Has very few references. Many articles have been deleted for much less. --Fandyllic 4:29 PM PST 1 Nov 2006
 * Weak keep. Studies by universities and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been conducted on the psychological effect of Corrupted Blood on World of Warcraft players, so scientest could research on what might happen if an epidemic happened in the real world. -- TBC Φ  talk?  01:03, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep This event actually got some significant media attention, including NPR and the BBC News. That's in the article.  And those are just two MSM outlets that covered it, there was plenty more focused coverage from sources in the industry.  If anything in WoW qualifies as a seperate article, this is it.

 * Keep - Could use some more information, personally I'd like to see more information about the real world similarities over the in-game event itself. wtfunkymonkey 01:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - significant third-party coverage of this specific aspect. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 03:00, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep here are some of the examples of media coverage:BBC, The Register, Ars Technica. I am not aware of any other WOW event that had this type of coverage so keeping this does not mean we need to keep every event. I also believe that this clearly meets WP:NN. --70.48.108.24 04:50, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per no actual argument for deletion offered by nom. As it is, this is a notable video game event that got significant real world attention.  Also, this is the 2nd AfD for this article, as the previous AfD in May resulted in an overwhelming keep. Resolute 05:29, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
