Orcs and Goblins (Warhammer)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This is one of many Warhammer Fantasy supplements; there are dozens of them (as can be seen in this totally unreferenced list: Warhammer Army Book), and it is the only one that has stand-alone article. Unfortunately, it also fails WP:NBOOK/WP:GNG. This is a pure plot summary + catalogue info about the publication, and the reception is limited to a single misleading review. Misleading, b/c I was able to access that review and it is a review of three sourcebooks, not just this one, and dedicates only a single paragraph to this work. As a WP:ATD I can only recommend redirecting this to Warhammer Fantasy (setting), as this article doubles as both the article about the 1994 gaming book, and an article about a fictional faction (that fails WP:GNG). I'd mind to see this rescued (as someone wh actually owns some Orcs and Goblin WHF minis...) but my BEFORE yielded little, and considering the fancrufty in-universe contents, WP:TNT would be needed anyway, so... here's to you, folks.

 * Redirect to Warhammer Fantasy (setting): I could not find any reliable sources that contain an in-depth discussion of this specific iteration of these two fictional species. The supplement is similar in its lack of coverage. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 22:17, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge to Warhammer Fantasy (setting). I think the review in Dragon magazine is significant - one paragraph is dedicated to the book exclusively, but other parts of the review still have commentary on Orcs and Goblins. But even so it's only one secondary source, so not enough for a stand-alone article if no more are found. A merge seems the best alternative to deletion then.

 * Now that the article has been improved with information from the review, I guess two merge targets would make sense: Warhammer Fantasy (setting) for the in-universe information, and Warhammer Army Book for the comments on the book itself. Daranios (talk) 11:45, 25 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge to Warhammer Fantasy (setting) per Daranios and BOZ. Shooterwalker (talk) 19:30, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
