- Protoss Empire (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Original synthesis of primary sources, in the form of an in-universe plot summary. There's little to no hope that this article might have some sort of real-world commentary, because it's nothing but a dump for a bunch of backstory from StarCraft. Similarly, there's no hope that it might become a general page on the Protoss faction in general, because we already have that article. Plus, Protoss is in no need of a massive dump of even more backstory. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 01:24, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, although there are actually more references in this item than the more general one. --Drtillberg 01:34, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- All of them are the works of fiction being synthesized, though. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 01:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Nevermind, it's been redirected The Clawed One 02:16, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- How is that editing going to make this article not redundant with Protoss, or make it not original research? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 01:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Transwiki to the Wikipedia Annex once ready, or a StarCraft Wiki if available. The same should be done to all StarCraft in-universe articles. Merge any relevant information to appropriate articles. — Deckiller 01:52, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Is this AFD really necessary anymore as the article is now a redirect to Protoss, or does anyone want to AFD that one too? I suggest speedy close as a redirect. Someguy1221 02:45, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy close as redirect. It's no longer an issue, is it? Further, I don't see how moving content to another website that's not affiliated with Wikimedia counts from our viewpoint as transwiki, or anything else than deletion. --Kizor 10:25, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Protoss. Since User:The Clawed One seems content to leave this as a redirect, I won't take a position on the nominator's rationale. No-one is asking for the history of Protoss Empire to be deleted, so the previous versions will remain in the system. If in the future the redirect is ever undone, then anyone who still feels strongly about it could file a new AfD to figure out if the view stated above by the nominator is the right one.
