Timeline and alternate timelines for the Warcraft lore

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article appears to be a large list of plot summaries to designated fictional time, failing what Wikipedia is not.

Along with that, it has no sources whatsoever, and with that it failed notability, as a non-Warcraft player would have any interest in this article.

It appears to be gamecruft or at least very inviting of it, and such fictional timelines attract original research quite easily.

This article serves little to no real world purpose outside of the Warcraft games. IAmSasori 22:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Frag it already has attracted original research; the first line about the "big bang" is blatant OR. No point in having a redundant page, when the plot/story can be elaborated on in less crufty ways elsewhere. David Fuchs ( talk  ) 22:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:Plot, WP:OR, WP:WAF and I'm sure others, you can call it a timeline, I call it a plot summary. Ridernyc 03:17, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as this fictional timeline has no reliable sources to demonstrate real-world notability outside the Warcraft canon. --Gavin Collins 10:51, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: That's right, we must delete or merge this trivial article that's only useful to a few thousand people in order to save electrons. Remember, save those electrons, they're more important than you think —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.139.148.100 (talk) 18:26, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
