GURPS Uplift

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This out of print book from 1992 of gaming instructions fails the notablity guidelines WP:NOTABILITY, whilst the article itself does not provide any discussion or context about its subect matter. This article should be on a fansite, not Wikipedia. --Gavin Collins 22:56, 1 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment Something is amiss in the nomination, because the 2nd nomination for GURPS 4e Basic Set does not include GURPS Uplift. I prefer not to modify the original nomination and its box. --Goochelaar 23:15, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment This must be a fault with the infobox. The first nomination for this article was originally bundled with Articles for deletion/GURPS 4e Basic. Like this nomination, GURPS 4e Basic Set (2nd nomination) is a seperate listing. --Gavin Collins 08:21, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment Nomination is mistaken in saying that the book in question has been OOP since 1992, as a revised edition was released in 2003. --Master Forcide 20:35, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Is there such a thing as a "speedy redirect"? I for one would be glad to redirect this to List of GURPS books, and I'd do so myself, but it is deprcated to do so during a deletion debate. Gavin, we have closer opinions than you think about most GURPS books. If you just redirected to that list those you believe deserve to vanish, I am sure that most redirections would be approved by almost everybody. And for the few contested redirections we could debate about something possessed of just a tiny bit of interest. --Goochelaar 23:20, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of GURPS books per Goochelaar. GURPS is notable even if this particular volume isn't, and a list of GURPS books is useful. We should err on the side of inclusion while being reasonable. Rray 02:33, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the GURPS books, even though I have this book and find it very interesting, being a David Brin fan. Ealdgyth | Talk 02:42, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per usual reasons in this series of GURPS AfDs. -- JHunterJ 12:45, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. Percy Snoodle 06:55, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above, but please add a brief summary paragraph. Thanks. &mdash; RJH (talk) 16:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
