Crunch (games)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

I am not certain that this concept is verifiable (WP:V), let alone independently notable (WP:N). The editor who removed the PROD added a forum link as a reference, but forums are not reliable sources (WP:RS). Should this AfD turn up sufficient sources to make this verifiable but not notable, it should be merged to some appropriate glossary of gaming terms; otherwise it should be deleted.

 * Merge into Role-playing game terms. A search for crunch rpg brings up numerous sites, mainly forums and blogs. But there is at least one magazine reference Dragon.--Salix (talk): 11:53, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, we can do that, although even the Dragon article does not explain what "Crunch" is.  Sandstein   16:25, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge common term of art, but doesn't need (or have the sources to support) its own article. Hobit (talk) 03:15, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - I would vote merge, as I feel this is pretty widely used vernacular in many RPG discussions. However, I'm not aware of any suitable merge target. It sounds like a sourced list of such terms could be created by referring to the RPG treatises such as those by Gygax and Laws, but right now it doesn't seem like an article fills this niche. - Sangrolu (talk) 13:04, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge - role-playing game terms is as good a merge target as any, though that article needs work. - Sangrolu (talk) 13:41, 24 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge/delete. Not a popular term covered by multiple reliable sources to satisfy GNG. Even with the little coverage it has, it's better suited in a parent article. Not sure what that would be, but role-playing game terms sounds OK. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 20:21, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
