Theran Empire

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

There are no independent references to demonstrate notability of this fictional location/creation. Notability isn't inherited from Earthdawn. A bold redirect was attempted and reverted, with no other changes to the article. There's nothing here but plot summary and what seems to be some original research in the comparison of parts of this fictional empire to real countries in the world (i.e. no reference to back up these comparison). I don't think there's anything worth merging to the Earthdawn article, hence I recommend straight deletion. --Craw-daddy &#124; T &#124; 15:49, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge/Delete Redirect as per sensible suggestion below this one. Clearly. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:29, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Earthdawn, but notify this on the talk page. Might be appropriate to include some of the information on that page. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 17:30, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The major protagonist of the Earthdawn fantasy setting.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 17:43, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * And that's why it should be included prominently in the Earthdawn article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:05, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a reasonable compromise would be to create an article geopolitics of Earthdawn, and merge this article and Articles for deletion/Barsaive there? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 20:13, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Unless there's reliable sources for notability, I don't see the point. Right now, neither article under discussion at AfD has any references to demonstrate notability.  Creating a new article that is a combination of the two merely pushes the current problem elsewhere.  --Craw-daddy &#124; T &#124; 20:18, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,   Sandstein   19:19, 13 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge to Earthdawn. Edward321 (talk) 00:22, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge, but merge properly. Most of this is relevant content there, and similarly for the other locations. Deal with splitting off an article for the locations subsequently--personally, i don't think there's really enough material. It's attempting to reduce merged content to a single line that has gotten people dubious about such proposed merges. DGG (talk) 05:22, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
