The result was delete and redirect. It seems like there's nothing useful to merge, that no one particularly wants the history of problematic edits, and (from what I can tell by inspecting the history) that there was never a direct merge from this article in the past (which would pose GFDL edit history issues). Still, leaving a redirect behind is a good idea to discourage article re-creation. — TKD::Talk 03:05, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

This article presents a two-fold problem. First, goes head-long against the guidelines expressed in WP:FICTION, covering in great-detail a fictional topic without reference to its real-world value. It doesn't even pay lip service to the notion of real-world perspective, mentioning only that "it's an instanced dungeon in WoW" before taking off into fictional detail. Second, it trips over WP:NOT. Half of the text is spent telling us what monsters live there, and how Horde and Alliance players can activate and access the instance. What information is actually encyclopedia-worthy is already covered in Locations in the Warcraft Universe, and the rest is covered in the existing WoW wiki. There's no reason for this.

 * Merge/redirect to Locations in the Warcraft Universe would be the simple solution. FrozenPurpleCube 02:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The information is already covered by other articles. A merge is unnecessary. Consequentially 20:52, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * In which case, all one would need to do is hit the #R button and make a redirect to the appropriate location. FrozenPurpleCube 00:36, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
