[edit] Asha'man

Asha'man (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article is completely unsourced and constitutes Original Research in its entirety. There aren't multiple non-trivial reliable published sources about Asha'man. Delete - Tragic Baboon (banana receptacle) 20:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep or merge but rewrite. I do see some problems with this article, but The Wheel of Time is notable, and as an important aspect of it, the Asha'man should be covered. I wouldn't object if this was merged into Organizations of The Wheel of Time or some such article though. FrozenPurpleCube 00:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The appropriate response when coming across an article without necessary sources is to insert a tag for the need for sources, not flag for deletion. As part of a larger series especially, it would be inappropriate to just delete it instead of allowing it to be cleaned up. Bbagot 06:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The article is part of a larger series, detailing a major aspect of the The Wheel of Time. It should include references to the book pages, though. --MPorciusCato 08:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and rewrite with references: the references do exist, the page authors have just been too lazy to include them. There may be unsourced inferences that would constitute original research as well. Alba 16:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:FICTION which requires a secondary source (to establish notability and at least some 'out-of-universe' material) for a separate article. Notability of The Wheel of Time is irrelevant as to whether this article should stay. Willing to change vote if secondary sources are presented. --maclean 06:32, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep, I love TWoT, but I'm not really sure about this one. I did find [1], [2] and [3], as well as [4]. Is it enough to keep the article and make it non-OR? Maybe. Daniel.Bryant 08:37, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. The subject is notable and can be verified back to the book; the editors can discuss merges and content on the talk pages. John Vandenberg 12:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete There seem to be no non-trival sources or refs. NBeale 16:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
