Mythology and fiction in NetHack

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

List of non-notable external references, this counts as a list of minutae and is disallowed under WP:NOT. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 18:11, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of video game related deletion discussions. MuZemike 18:39, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for above reasons, also unsourced - that's not to say a sourced section on influences on the game from various mythos cannot be included on the game's page, but no need for the spelling out here. --M ASEM (t) 18:46, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak delete – as nothing but an indiscriminate list of fiction/mythology things that are possibly referenced in this game. I note weak because, if someone did any serious research on the topic, like in List of units in the Age of Mythology series (i.e. utilizing prose), then I would say that this would be a viable topic. However, the current state is damning. MuZemike 18:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Dammit! Forgot that was redirected! MuZemike 18:52, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That AfD resulted in redirect & delete if memory serves, not a good example :) MLauba (talk) 23:12, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Cut heavily and merge to NetHack, surely.— S Marshall  Talk / Cont  19:30, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Entirely unreferenced, indiscriminate. Naturally, the main page is welcome to discuss the various influences from other works, but this list is entirely unnecessary and excessive. — sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 20:47, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete- mentioning that there are mythological references in NetHack, along with a handful of examples, is appropriate. A big huge unsourced list that lists each and every instance of it is not. Reyk  YO!  22:30, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Not even worth merging, as this is just a list of generic mythology monsters that appear in zillions of video games. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:45, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Cut, merge & delete per above, indiscriminate list, no RS, runs afoul WikiProject Video Games content guidelines: " If the content only has value to people actually playing the game, it is unsuitable." MLauba (talk) 23:12, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as an indiscriminate collection of information. Also serves as a game guide.  Them  From  Space  00:32, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - can be summarized in a single sentence in the parent article. Marasmusine (talk) 17:56, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - what Maramusine said. Artw (talk) 18:19, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
