Rath (plane)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fictional world in a trading card game. The article is entirely unsourced since its creation in 2005(!), and a Google search does not show reliable secondary sources discussing this fictional world, as would be required for a separate article by WP:V. If and when reliable sources for the subject are found, it may be mentioned at Plane (Magic: The Gathering) and a redirect may be created there. But currently the article should not be redirected because it is not described at the target article. Per WP:V, the current content should not be merged because it is unsourced, but I do not object to a selective merger to the extent somebody does find and, more importantly, add reliable sources. Compare Articles for deletion/Phyrexia, where another article about a fictional world from this game was deleted for the same reasons.  Sandstein  16:44, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete- I agree with the nominator, and cannot add anything to what he's already said. The article is entirely unsourced, and I can find no substantial, independent coverage. Reyk  YO!  08:34, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge as there is a clear merge target. Closer should be aware there are 4 nearly identical AfDs on what are very very similar topics. Hobit (talk) 01:26, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete I agree with the nomination, the fictional location does not meet the general notability guideline. Also, the content of the article is an unreferenced plot-only description of a fictional work with no real-world context. Lacking reliable third-party sources, the article falls into the criteria of reasons for deletion. With no reliable sources, I also agree that the content should not be merged since all of it is completely unreferenced and it is not needed to understand the card game Magic: The Gathering.

 * Delete I agree with Baseball Watcher, this isn't sourced, and there are no reliable sources. Endofskull (talk) 23:29, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
