Tristram (Diablo)

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

This fictional location does not establish notability independent of its series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 18:48, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete This article contains no citations whatsoever, let alone reputable second hand sources. Non notable- it is a location in a video game series that contains no third party sources.  Most of the information on the page is repeated elsewhere in other wikipedia articles. --Banime (talk) 19:52, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete another fictional locale that isn't notable. RMHED (talk) 19:56, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete — Wikipedia is not a you-know-what nor you-know-what. MuZemike (talk) 20:57, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, more plot character rehash. Nifboy (talk) 23:58, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge Generally there is no need for separate articles on fictional locations, so it should be proposed for a merge. At the least it's a reasonable search term, and could be redirected to a list of locations. apparently it's a major location  in the game, so some information on it is necessary.

 * Delete The bulk of this article is a character list, so I went to see if it could be salvaged that way. Nope, there's already an article named List of non-player characters in Diablo which expands on every piece of information in the character list. Take that out, and you are left with one sentence about Diablo, and two sentences about Diablo II. Not enough information to even pretend it's a merge.Kww (talk) 23:52, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * How can a town be a list? MuZemike (talk) 03:44, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Please tell me that you didn't argue for deletion without reading the article. 80% of this article is really List of Diablo characters that live in Tristram. Renaming an article is a hell of a lot easier than deleting it, so if that would have worked, that's what I would have argued for. Kww (talk) 03:54, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I took another look, and Kww is right about the nature of the article. Most of it should go, as it is just a summary of the fuller page he specifies. The general paragraph about the town, though , should still be merged somewhere. And there should still be a redirect in any case. DGG (talk) 04:32, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I looked at it; it just seems confusing as you say named as such. MuZemike (talk) 16:40, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
