History of the Warhammer 40,000 universe
An article which is "solely as a summary of the plot of a work of fiction" (Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, point 7). Prod removed because "Warhammer 40,000 is very popular", which, while true, doesn't override WP:NOT. Delete --Pak21 08:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per WP:NOT ST47 11:39, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment: the content on this page is basically just an amalgamation of content already existing on other Warhammer 40,000 pages (eg Great Crusade), so I have removed the merge tag. --Pak21 08:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Prod the Wikiproject to take a look which I have done. With any luck these guys will know how the page fits into their reorganisation of the articles. LinaMishima 13:15, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: "we" know about it. There was a previous discussion about creating a "history" page, but it petered out with no decision; this page was created by a new editor without any discussion with the WikiProject. While there may be a need for a history page, this plot summary isn't it. (FWIW, the AfD is already listed at WP:40K). Cheers --Pak21 13:23, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep A history page seems like a good lead in to the other more specific pages we have. "It is a simply a plot summary" is a reason for a rewrite, not removal in my mind. --Falcorian (talk) 00:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete As per the wishes of the 40k wikiproject. It's their part of wikipedia to organise, so I'll side with them. Seems like all the material is already in other articles already. LinaMishima 14:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: it should be pointed out that Falcorian is also a member of the WikiProject. --Pak21 14:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 *  AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.  Please add new discussions below this notice. Thanks,  (aeropagitica)    (talk)   14:58, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep Nerdiness is not an independent grounds for deletion, and the article as written conveys interesting information about a notable topic. Allon FambrizziAllon Fambrizzi
 * comment it is strongly worth noting that the WP:40K project wants to have the article deleted, as they have already organised this information themselves in a different manner - nothing will be lost LinaMishima 19:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply As a member, I do not think that has been fully agreed upon. --Falcorian (talk) 15:42, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as before. Wikipedia is not a place for plot synopses. --Pak21 08:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Removed: re-vote due to not understanding relisting procedure. --Pak21 12:14, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Most of the imformation is already contained in other articles (such as the Tyranid stuff, which relates directly to the Nids, and the Great Crusadek, which is a monumental event in the 40K universe), and whatever here that is original looks like it would be best used in other articles.

 * Delete. WP:NOT. Read it, then vote, not the other way around. GarrettTalk 00:28, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
