 * Redirect - While I disagree with the nominator's assertion that everything in the article is "fancruft," (though I do thank him for his detailed explanation of his viewpoint, as his thorough and well-reasoned arguments for deletion are a credit to AfD), I do think that this article is unnecessary- all the material is covered in the Places in the Wheel of Time series article and does not need to be duplicated.

 * Oh, and Crashoffer, since you saw fit to delete and ignore my polite & friendly suggestion from your talk page, I guess I'll just address it to you here since it is also relevant to this forum. Just a suggestion, but you may want to take a look at this essay, especially the last paragraph. It may help if you're going to be nominating many things for deletion.

 * Support - This is the sort of page to do on the dedicated WoT Wiki, and there is indeed an excellent page on there (as well as individual entries for each nation, the Trolloc Wars, the founding of the White Tower and other events of this period etc). There is no need for it on Wikipedia.--Werthead (talk) 21:07, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the Places in the Wheel of Time series, which has all of this and more. It's a reasonable search term. DGG' (talk) 04:02, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect Per DGG, for this one. It's a more obscure phrase from the series, and this is speaking as someone who's actually re-reading them at the moment. Unlike a lot of other key fiction aspects from the series (many of which's aspects are notable, as it's 2nd only to Lord of the Rings in sales) this one bit is not as integral. As for the mentioned "WoT Wiki" I have no idea which Werthead means, as there are several. The Wikia one isn't that great. This one, while simpler in "look", is far, far better in content. Doesn't matter, but just tossing it out there. Redirect. rootology ( C )( T ) 05:10, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Off-topic, but I was referring to the Wikia one, which has taken a bit longer to get off the ground but is now starting to come along nicely. I didn't even know the TarValon.net one existed.--Werthead (talk) 22:09, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect This article is unnecessary, all of it is covered in Places in the Wheel of Time series, after all. I'm sure it's easier to find there, too. Randland is a fictional world, after all, so we might as well lump all the stuff that is not so notable on its own together to form a more complete picture of the world in a very popular book series. Still, no reason to call things "cruft", even if you do hate the topic. Mirithing (talk) 11:34, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect Exactly as Mirithing said. Already covered in Places in the Wheel of Time series. --Pstanton (talk) 21:09, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
