 * This article was deleted by prodding on 9 April 2009 "non-notable no apparent third party coverage except for Wikipedia mirrors", but the subject seems to be important enough science-fiction to warrant a full AfD discussion. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:12, 9 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non notable.  7107Lecker  Tischgespräch, außerdem... 12:55, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Info. 10 other articles link to it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete (or redirect per my discussion with Quantpole below) Per prod/nom. Seems to be written "in-universe". Orderinchaos 14:25, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I know the books well, and really like them. However, this is a random article, with its long discussions on 'concepts'. There are already articles on Characters in the Realm of the Elderlings and Places in the Realm of the Elderlings, and I don't really see what this adds to the mix. As fairly normal in these cases, I could not find reliable sources discussing this, but that often doesn't make a difference to fictional topic AfDs. As such my !delete, is based on the usefullness of the article. Quantpole (talk) 14:53, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Would it be appropriate to make it a redirect to one of the above? Orderinchaos 16:48, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The best redirect would probably be to Robin_Hobb. Quantpole (talk) 17:02, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Vehicle for unencyclopedic content. Abductive  (reasoning) 18:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Robin_Hobb. The current version discusses all sorts of unverifiable stuff. The suggested target is where I would expect to land if I entered the title. - Mgm|(talk) 12:59, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
