[edit] Dalaran

Poor sourcing with unnotable gamecruft and plot summaries.

This article only has one source which leads to a gaming site. There are no third-party sources to establish notability amongst the real world, showing that non-players of Warcraft games are not likely to read these articles.

It has gamecruft which is a usual attractor to original research unwelcome to Wikipedia.

Finally, there are plot summaries in this article which Wikipedia is not. Such content are unencyclopedic and unwelcome in Wikipedia. IAmSasori 15:51, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect WoWWiki is a Wikia project now. Redirect this entry to it instead, if possible.--Silverhand^Talk 15:57, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Its just an in universe summary of plot points from the other Warcraft game articles which already cover this. Judgesurreal777 23:40, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

• Merge - It is part of Azeroth so it should be merged with Azeroth (Warcraft). Joeking16 13:37, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

• Transwiki if possible otherwise Delete As Wowwiki is apart of Wikia now and is the place for this. Æon ^{Insanity Now!} 23:08, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

• Merge→Azeroth (Warcraft)—The fact that Dalaran is mentioned as a major location (one of four) on Template:Warcraft Universe without a mention in either Warcraft universe or Azeroth (Warcraft) seems strange; those absences certainly suggest to me that a paragraph mention in the Azeroth article should be sufficient and that a stand-alone article is a bit too top-heavy for what amounts to a minor location in this fictional universe. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:55, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
