List of Ergoth Emperors

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

A search for reliable, secondary sources reveals an insufficient amount of significant coverage. This article fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for elements of fiction. It should also be noted that the creator and primary contributor for this article previously requested that the article be speedily deleted. Neelix (talk) 14:41, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete This belongs in a fanpage/fan-wiki for the books; there's a lack of independent sourcing and it's just recounting plot/backstory of the novels in contravention of NOTPLOT. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:48, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge an abridged form of the list into List of Dragonlance characters. BOZ (talk) 15:02, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Not only does this fail the notability guidelines for fictional characters in general and has no reliable secondary sources, but the vast majority of these characters are not even notable within the fictional universe itself. Almost all of these characters were either just mentioned as background history for the fictional world, or existed as minor background characters.  As the List of Dragonlance characters is actually composed of major characters in the franchise, merging a bunch of unsourced information about extremely minor characters would actually be a detriment to that article itself.  I admit its been a number of years since I was reading up on Dragonlance, so if any of these characters individually became main characters to the franchise, they can be added to the list per normal.  But this list itself is pure fancruft, and should be deleted as such.  Rorshacma (talk) 17:34, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete- excessive in-universe trivia sourceable only to the work of fiction itself. Reyk  YO!  04:15, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Transwiki and then Selectively merge per BOZ. Jclemens (talk) 21:39, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, besides failing WP:GNG because of complete lack of independent coverage, the focus of the article seems extremely restrictive to the point of trivia, per Rorshacma.Folken de Fanel (talk) 21:26, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as it fails the WP:GNG], due to a lack of sources. Shooterwalker (talk) 23:04, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - There is insufficent reliable source interest in the topic that is independent of the Ergoth Emperors topic itself to justify a stand alone list per WP:GNG. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 15:16, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
