[edit] Pandaren

Pandaren (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Does not establish enough notability outside game universe. This article is also literally plagiarized from WoWwiki. (Copyright is not a problem here, though - WowWiki uses GFDL.) SYSS Mouse 16:33, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect/Merge to List of Warcraft humanoid races. The April Fool's jokes might make for some includable content, but I'm not sure it merits its own article. FrozenPurpleCube 18:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per lack of notability for this in game race. I also think the List of races is game guide content, just like list of units in <game>, regardless of the popularity of the game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Corpx (talk • contribs)

Please feel to articulate how. Because I don't see anything in the page that is related to playing the game itself. FrozenPurpleCube 01:01, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

In-depth description of a character in the fictional universe, lacking any kind of coverage from real world sources, is game guide content Corpx 06:08, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: The editor that wrote the WoWWiki page and the person that wrote this page are one and the same. There's no plagiarism issue, it's release of the writing to both. --Raijinili 05:48, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

• Retraction: I misremembered. It was lifted, but the original writer approved. See Talk:Pandaren. --Raijinili 05:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. Strictly speaking, since a wiki is written by many people, a single editor cannot give such permission. SYSS Mouse 17:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

• You can give approval for something someone's already allowed to do. --Raijinili 06:05, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

• Well, upon thinking, I think both of us ae wrong. By editing there, the writers indirectly gives permission for others to use elsewhere, since Wowwiki uses GFDL. SYSS Mouse 16:04, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as lack of independent sources indicates this fails WP:NOTABILITY.--Gavin Collins 09:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
