Tourneys in A Song of Ice and Fire

 *  nominated this article for deletion on 2005-05-11, but made a botch of the nomination, forgetting to sign the rationale, to add a header, and to transclude onto the per-day page. I've completed the nomination. This is not a vote. Uncle G 15:39, 2005 May 14 (UTC)

Irrelevant material for wikipedia. (Unsigned comment anon user 128.135.188.232)
 * Keep. (I am the original author.) I am cool about the VfD, but I would like 128.135.188.232 to at least try to give a reason for his implied deletion vote. On the other hand I worked to make this article conform to Wikipedia policy (or semi-policy), especially Fiction. The rationale is that tourneys are a major concept of the books in question, and the article takes some time explaining their significance. So, depending on your perspective, this article is either a "major concept" of a work of fiction (and deserves its own because because of its length), or it is a "List of (minor and major) events", which makes it a topical, cross-volume plot summary. Both I find good enough reasons, but I certainly welcome the opinion of other editors. Arbor 19:54, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. By the way, this page doesn't seem to be listed on the main VfD page at all. (In any case I cannot find it). 128.135.188.232, since you made the nomination, maybe you would like to finish the process by putting the page on the main VfD list, so that it can be found by others than me and you? That is the third step of the VfD proces. Also, I encourage you to expand you nomination in the first paragraph with a reason. (And next time, please don't forget to sign your contribution.) As it is now, this page is unlikely to be found by anybody and hence won't gather many votes pro or contra. No longer relevant. Uncle G kindly finished the proces. Arbor 09:32, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. is this even a valid vfd until some claims to have made it? Nateji77 08:03, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Someone has made it. 128.135.188.232 made it, and even gave xyr rationale. Uncle G 15:39, 2005 May 14 (UTC)
 * Some has made it, not claimed to have made it, and gave the reflexive argument "we should delete it because it doesn't belong." Nateji77 11:51, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Verifiable and NPOV. Double Blue  (Talk) 16:01, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. No reason to delete. EvilPhoenix

 * Keep. I trust Arbor's explanation of the importance of tourneys to what appears to be a very successful book, trading card game and board game universe. Samaritan 20:04, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. I see no reason why this should be deleted. Maltaran 13:01, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
