The Exchange (crime syndicate)

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

Completely non-notable fictional group -- minor within the games, wholly insignificant in the real world. Completely unreferenced content. Redirect was undone with no actual contributions to the article; ditto prod very close to expiring. Article, such as it is, is entirely plot summary and cruft. --EEMIV (talk) 18:15, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete for lack of notability and failing WP:PLOT. Fletcher (talk) 18:51, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Tag as references needed? Everything in nomination is true, except that I'm not sure it's not notable as part of two very popular games. Could any of it be sourced at least to gaming magazines?ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:52, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Also I found this in the edit summary, "reverting to article, as the redirect target literally does not mention "the exchange" (and didn't when the redirect was put in place, either). Prod it or merge it if you want." So perhaps a good faith merge could have avoided this? ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:55, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * There's nothing to merge/worth merging. --EEMIV (talk) 19:07, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Is it even mentioned in the parent article? Are you questioning its existence or whether it's notable enough for its own article? It just seems to me that if whatever relevan information was included in the parent article, at least one editor wouldn't have recreated this article.

 * No, it's not mentioned in the game articles. The Exchange is a minor bit of "scenery"/a group that background NPCs are members of in both games. --EEMIV (talk) 20:44, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Not important. Keyshours (talk) 19:16, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect Someone would have to do some miracle sourcing to show that this in notable outside of the game. A  ni  Mate  19:23, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
