Tales of an Empire (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Declined PROD. Appears to be an article about a future work of fiction from a non-notable author; may constitute an original work since I don't see any references elsewhere to this work or the author. - Fordan (talk) 21:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

• I agree. Until it can be formally referenced (and as it doesn't exist at this point, that is quite impossible) I believe that it should be deleted. Personally, I rely highly upon the policy dictating what Wikipedia is not meant for, and this article goes against this policy completely.--Amaraiel 22:08, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

First hit. Also it has been mentioned a couple of times at www.SDCClan.nl. It isn't fully noticed, because it is originally Dutch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarcharon (talk • contribs) 16:11, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

• Comment www.SDCClan.nl doesn't seem to exist, either the webpage, or even a domain registration per whois.domain-registry.nl. Putting quotes around "Tales of an Empire" gets you a lot less hits. The one you seem to refer to is a single mention on a forum, generally not considered to be a reliable source for establishing notability. (And where does Star Wars play into this? Nothing in the article seems to suggest it.) - Fordan (talk) 20:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

• Agreed, the page should be deleted. There are no references or sources about the article anywhere except for some Dutch forum which is probably written by the author himself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.63.159.38 (talk) 18:38, 11 September 2007

• I agree too. Delete the article, it clearly falls under the policy dictating what Wikipedia is not meant for. The only reference is indeed, on some Dutch forum where the author himself probably just mentioned the name himself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.193.2.1 (talk) 18:44, 11 September 2007
• Delete. Definitely a WP:CRYSTAL issue. Copyright may also be a concern - people licensing their stuff under GFDL-compatible things generally don't leave in a (C) mark... --136.223.3.130 20:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
