[edit] Taelan Fordring

Unsourced with unnotable fancruft and plot summaries.

There are no sources whatsoever on this article.

Along with having no sources, it has no third-party sources to depict its notability, suggesting that readers who do not play the Warcraft series would have any interest in this article whatsoever.

The page appears to contain fancruft which may have opportunity to attract original research, furthering itself away from being sourced.

Finally, there are plot summaries within this article, which is what Wikipedia is not. These type of issues would generally not be wanted here. IAmSasori 22:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Fictional characters-related deletions. —Quasirandom 00:27, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: An article having plot summaries is not a guideline violation. If the article is LARGELY plot summary, then there's a problem. Please be careful with your rationales. —Quasirandom 00:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

• Merge per the guidelines of WP:FICT into List of Warcraft characters. Even less independently notable than many. —Quasirandom 00:34, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as article has insufficient content, real-world context or reliable secondary sources to demonstrate notability outside of the Warcraft cannon. --Gavin Collins (talk) 17:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
