D'ni
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

in-universe article with no references, and no relation to the real world. Ridernyc 16:04, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep huge following but needs secondary, verifiable sources that are easily available with a "D'ni" search in Google. Once sources are added, I'd keep the article due to the broad scope.  -- Blind  Eagle  talk ~ contribs  16:43, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. They're a major part of the Myst universe.  This article needs a lot of work, though, as much of it is too in-universe and lacking references. Pinball22 16:58, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete all, or delete all but D'ni and merge the others there if needed for defensive reaons (to keep the cruft from leaking back in to WP). JJL 17:53, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep with the other articles below merged into it & sourced correctly (and re-worded as out-of-universe where needed). As Eagle said, there appear to be quite a few out there. SkierRMH 00:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Since most of the other D'ni articles are too large to merge and are likely to be deleted, this one is likely to improve. Since Myst is a popular franchise, and D'ni is (are?) part of that franchise, this one can and should stay.  Advice-- edit heavily, include lots of links.  Mandsford 00:45, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Transwiki (if that is the right word) to a dedicated D'ni pedia. Allow, perhaps, 7 days for the dedicated fans to do this; then delete all, retaining only a redirect to Myst, where there can be a cross-link to the (presumptive) dedicated Wiki.  Otherwise delete all as fictives. -- Simon Cursitor 07:04, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, you have SEVEN DAYS to get "D'ni pedia" up and running. Don't complain.  God created the universe in less time than that.  Mandsford 11:54, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * how long dose it take to cut an paste code into a new wiki. Also as per other deletions you can always ask an admin for the page contents. Ridernyc 13:14, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * in fact there is already a myst wiki that needs much of this information. http://dni.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Ridernyc 13:20, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep the main article, just as we have Sindar; merge D'ni numerals, which would be difficult to condense, and contains an out-of-universe note; summarize the rest, and merge the summaries. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 23:45, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Game-related deletions.   --Gavin Collins 14:23, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as article has no primary sources, nor reliable secondary sources to demonstrate notability. Most of the article is written from an in-universe perspective and primarily comprises of plot summary. There are no sober agruments for keeping this fancruft. --Gavin Collins 14:23, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
