Minion War

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested prod. No evidence that this "crossover event" has any notability, no sources beyond the publisher and fora/blogs and the like. The individual games already have their article (Rifts and Heroes Unlimited), the fact that the publisher makes a connection between them is hardly a reason to create yet another article here, if it doesn't get significant attention in independent sources.

 * Keep vote by creator, dispute the objection. This is not merely an 'event' or a 'connection' as it is being minimized to, it is the official name for a sub-series of books Palladium is producing that is larger than several of their games we have articles for.

 * The official name for a sub-series of books? It isn't even mentioned in the title of e.g. this one, where it also isn't a category (at the left side). It is the setting, the background for some books, but nothing more apparently. Fram (talk) 09:58, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete wp:N is pretty clear cut. Significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.  Reviews count - but only in independent sources.  In particular something like the Minion War is going to have to work round the point that notability is not inherited, and that Rifts was definitely notable in the 90s but is really obscure these days.  I've got nothing on my searches.  As for the number of books being larger than several of Palladium's games, it is also much more for die-hard fans rather than something people might find - see also wp:OSE Neonchameleon (talk) 23:59, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
