Timeline of the Warhammer 40,000 universe

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

This article is a massive plot repetition with no notability of it's own. It is therefore totally duplicate with the many Warhammer 40,000 articles plot sections, and should therefore be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 17:37, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Content is not appropriate to Wikipedia but would be appropriate in a specialist wiki. I know there is a W40K one but can't think of it right now. Stifle (talk) 19:52, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Due to a large chunk of articles being deleted which had relevant information along the lines of this subject, this needs to stay. Unless of course, you would care to transwiki all this yourself. For a more knowledgeable and relaxed Wikipedia- Nemesis646 (talk) 20:25, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Synthesis of disparate in-universe sources. Entirely plot summary. Perfect example of what is meant by "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information." --EEMIV (talk) 20:45, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not much I can add to EEMIV's evaluation, except to state that from personal experience GW have freely retconned events in the 40K universe for over twenty years now and that no out-of-universe discussion could possibly be coherent.

 * Delete A transiwiki of this stuff would take far less than the 5 days for discussion it will receive here. This article represents plot repetition and information which has no relation to items outside the Warhammer 40K universe.  Because of the intellectual property policies of Games workshop, we are unlikely to see significant coverage of this fictional element in sources independent from the subject.  The sources cited in the article are wholly owned and published by Games workshop and so cannot be considered independent per the WP:GNG.  Delete it. Protonk (talk) 22:29, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Simply just plot repetition, with no notability shown. RobJ1981 (talk) 22:47, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to the Warhammer wiki (if it's not already there) and then delete per WP:IINFO Nick Dowling (talk) 10:34, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete for having no real-world context. -- JediLofty UserTalk 15:17, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment This has been transwikied to the Warhammer 40,000 wikia, thanks to the kind work of Falcorian.  --Craw-daddy &#124; T &#124; 16:02, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Excessive plot summary arranged in an entirely in-universe way. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 23:00, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Entirely plot summary and in-universe detail with no real-world content. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 03:30, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - no adequate assertion of notability through significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the topic. The entire article is pure plot summary and fails WP:NOT. sephiroth bcr  ( converse ) 09:33, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
