Maiev Shadowsong was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was inconclusive.

A fictional character from computer game, not even the most important one (having seen the game, I had never heard about her). Delete. Grue 16:15, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. I would need clear proof that this character is of any significance separate to the game to support keeping. Average Earthman 17:14, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 17:19, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Redirect only. No one will search it without knowing it. Geogre 20:34, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I don't get it. If no one will search for it, why have a redirect? Maybe you meant "merge only"? Grue 20:47, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
There are two reasons for a redirect. One is to help searches. The other is to prevent article recreation. I was thinking the latter. Geogre 02:32, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • Redirects are cheap, and this way it won't be created again. What's the harm? [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 20:50, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Quite weak delete. This is still better than some of the Pokemon articles and other stuff here that I have seen. Jeltz 22:14, 2004 Nov 21 (UTC)
    • To expand on my vote: I wouldn't as a warcraft fan really want to see this kind of articles on Wikipedia but there are already a lot of them so it's partly a question of where the line should be drawn. Jeltz 22:22, 2004 Nov 21 (UTC)
      • I suggest some W3 fan would make an article Warcraft III storyline so that would be the only article about these characters. Maybe redirect there too. Grue 07:18, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. I added a heap of information about her in a recent edit, and I believe her contributions to the Warcraft Universe are quite significant, as she was the driving character of the Night Elf campaign in The Frozen Throne. UED77 20:47, 2004 Dec 1 (UTC)
  • Keep. You guys are aware that she's basically the 'main character' of the Elf campaign, right? She's as important as Arthas, Ner'Zhul, etc. Scumbag 01:16, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
