Space Marine Scouts

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

No assertion of real-world notability. Reliance solely on primary sources regurgitates plot summary; does not offer, and a cursory google search does not yield, any information on critical reception, concept's development, etc. --EEMIV (talk) 07:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

 * delete Part of a wall-garden of non-notable in-universe articles, impossible to save, that either need to be deleted or redirected. --Allemandtando (talk) 08:55, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Individual unit in a tabletop game. No reliable independant sources, and unlikely to be. -- saberwyn 09:46, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge then Delete Merge with main article before deletion. AlmondManTwo (talk) 13:54, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Nominator has a burr under his blanket for Warhammer 40K subjects. L0b0t (talk) 14:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * do you have anything to say about the actual article? I don't think "keep based on nominator" is a reason that's considered acceptable at AFD. --Allemandtando (talk) 14:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - no real world notability --T-rex 14:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete White dwarf is an organ of games workshop, the producer of the game and these miniatures. It simply isn't an appropriate source from which to draw imputed notability.  If and when sources independent from the game producer are revealed, we can discuss whether the material in those sources allows the article to meet WP:FICT, WP:N.

 * Neutral - I endorse the complete depopulation of Category:Warhammer 40,000, leaving only those articles that exhibit individual notability. Nominating those hundreds of pages will be a lot of work that I cannot do myself, because as a player, I'm biased. All or nothing. Piecemeal deletions are right out. All I want is a fair go and consistent application of Wikipedia policy. --Agamemnon2 (talk) 16:54, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete My first instinct was to majorly compress and merge with the Space Marines article, but that looks to be a complete mess too. If anyone is wondering exactly what Wikipedians mean when they use the term "fancruft", this is exhibit A, right here. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:54, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
