Kházard

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable fictional, role-playing character. PROD declined by author - no reasons given. Singularity42 (talk) 19:39, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of video game related deletion discussions. MrKIA11 (talk) 19:58, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per suggestions of discussion creator. It would appear that this started as a test/sandbox page for this editor if you look through the edit history and its quality was never significantly improved after its creation. Notification of original PROD was deleted off editor's talk page with edit summary "Replaced content with 'nah'". Though that can't be a direct reason here, to me it shows that some comment from the creating editor of this page would be all the more helpful toward an ASF; As the creator new user I hope this discussion can help with future article contributions.

 * Speedy Delete A7. So tagged.  Lots of people love ale and cheese, including me - but that's not important right now.  It's unclear as to whether this is a NPC or a player-created character, but any given character in WOW is not inherently notable, and it would be damn hard to achieve this to begin with.  -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 20:21, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Clarification -- Technically, I think the claim of notability through acting like an inebriated mouse would still need to be verified with outside sources. Datheisen (talk) 20:27, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think A7 applies. Unless it can be argued that a World of Warcraft character is "web content", it doesn't fall into the narrow scope of A7. Singularity42 (talk) 20:37, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. Though I know CSD is open to interpretation and there's some merit in the tag, I think the normal AfD process should suffice and it's appropriate to give a new user an opportunity to improve the article first before the actual delete decision is made by an admin.

 * NOTICE -- The AfD tag was deleted off the main article page by its creator here. I undid the change with explanation given in edit summary. Datheisen (talk) 21:23, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I also notified the user about removing AfD and CSD tags (although I'm still not sure if CSD applies to this article...) Singularity42 (talk) 21:28, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Delete Oh, and ROFL speedy please :) -Snorre/Antwelm (talk) 23:59, 20 October 2009 (UTC) Delete I googled the name and found several results on forums and RP guild sites - this appears to be a non-notable player character. Strangely there's far more information on those sites though. MorganaFiolett (talk) 12:00, 21 October 2009 (UTC) NOTE: Before anyone else says Speedy Delete under A7, please keep in mind that A7 has a very narrow scope, and video game characters do not fall in it. Administrators have already declined a speedy delete under A7 for this article. Singularity42 (talk) 14:11, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * UPDATE -- The speedy delete tag was removed by an administrator here so I assume things will continue as normal as an AfD discussion. Datheisen (talk) 21:38, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Eh, no matter, I stand by my !vote. =) -- Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 22:15, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh fine. Curse everyone's right to have an opinion around here. Worth actual mention though; A google search of the character name doesn't even show it having an entry in WoWWiki. I... suppose that also means it's not "web content" under A7 since there's no web content to contest. Datheisen (talk) 22:51, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete Even if it's not eligible for A7 for being about a fictional character, it's eligible for A1, short article with no context. BlazerKnight (talk) 23:16, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Also a fair point, but then I could say that G1 applies as to many possible visitors the only words on the page that look like English would be "cheese and ale". (Entirely in jest) Datheisen (talk) 23:56, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete and ban creator for being an Orc Troll Wizard -Drdisque (talk) 04:16, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * If this is one of the game's NPCs, then redirect to WoW. If he is a player, then speedy deletion under A7 is appropriate. Can anyone clarify which it is? Marasmusine (talk) 13:56, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned before, Google results are coming from IC guild websites etc. The most telling appears to be this one http://www.grs.webfire.org.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1139.0 which seems to be announcing Khazard Stormaxe as the winner of an in-game competition. If it was an in-game NPC, there would be something in WoWWiki, I'm sure. MorganaFiolett (talk) 14:59, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Extremely tertiary video game characters don't usually meet criteria for an article and offering a redirect to WoW is a little generous; That gives it recognition of existence that is worth entry in Wikipedia all the same as its own article would. Games with comprehensive Wikipedia articles might have characters mentioned but very few can get farther. I know this is bickering on semantics in some ways, but redirects are generally for things that normally would either be merged or just fall into a larger category. We're not in the business of keeping a full list of NPCs from games (I think). Ship this mead-sipping chap over to his appropriate gaming Wikia, please. Datheisen (talk) 22:59, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think we're in the habit of listing player characters at all, unless they're like Leeroy Jenkins. Which this guy, from what I can tell, isn't. MorganaFiolett (talk) 14:45, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
