The result was   no consensus. A merge looks to be the most likely compromise here; but there are multiple possible targets. I suggest a talk page discussion to determine that, but there does not appear to be a consensus to delete this article completely at this time. ~ mazca  talk 23:29, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

WoW: Emergent Media Phenomenon

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

Cannot find non-local media coverage of notable degree. Museum exhibits need to be specifically notable outside their local area, and outside of an announcement by the housing museum. In other words, museum exhibits should be judged as art, unless otherwise notable, and this is not. Shadowjams (talk) 21:18, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge. If notable, merge it in with the main article on World of Warcraft-- The Legendary   Sky Attacker  21:32, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I would probably be ok with this, but what do you think about the merits of it going into the WoW article versus the museum article? Shadowjams (talk) 00:01, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If there is indeed a museum article for it, you could always add it there instead I suppose.-- The Legendary   Sky Attacker  01:44, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You misunderstand. There is not a museum article for this exhibit, however there is a museum it is hosted at that has an article. Shadowjams (talk) 06:13, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It wasn't that I misunderstood. It was that you didn't explain yourself clearly enough.-- The Legendary   Sky Attacker  06:49, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Really? Shadowjams (talk) 08:02, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. No evidence of notability; no need to merge what's not notable, either. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 15:20, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Hapia Dragon. Above, I only said merge if it was notable. if it is not notable it is clearly a delete.-- The Legendary   Sky Attacker  01:45, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. GameSetWatch, Kotaku, InsideGamer, Orange County Register. SharkD (talk) 23:04, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The Inside Gamer one doesn't look like much, but there's enough there to assert notability, also OC Metro and The Escapist. At the very least it's a merge rather than delete candidate, but if any of the gaming press actually go to the presentations then there should be more to build the article with.
