Anarchs (VTES)

I am also nominating the following related pages because they have exactly the same problems as the article above:

Delete all. These articles all about editions or expansions of the board game Vampire: The Eternal Struggle. Each of these articles is referenced solely to the website of the publisher, and offers no evidence of any form that it meets notability criteria. All of these sets and editions are listed at Vampire: The Eternal Struggle#Sets_and_expansions, and that list provides quite sufficient detail. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and Wikipedia is not a manual. Contrary to Wikipedia:FICTION#What_Wikipedia_is_not, none of these pages offers any evidence of the real-world significance of the topics, and the pages amount to little more than a regurgitation of publisher's material.

Note that I have omitted from this nomination only one of the expansion sets: VTES 3rd Edition, which won an award. I have been unable to find any evidence that it meets WP:GNG -- it gets no hits on Google News -- but in view of the award, editors may wish to consider it as a separate case. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:08, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete articles lacking notability. I would caution you against invoking WP:MANUAL in cases like this. None of those articles serve as a manual. That said, the first few I checked lack sufficient reliable independent sources to support WP:GNG. - Sangrolu (talk) 14:07, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge all the non-notable articles into one or a few summary articles, covering the verifiable content. Since they are all part of a single game it is up to the nominator to demonstrate that they cannot be appropriately merged (per WP:BEFORE) to overcome merging as a WP:ATD policy-preferred outcome.

- As noted in the nonmination, they are all listed at Vampire: The Eternal Struggle#Sets_and_expansions. That list provides summary of each expansion, which is sufficient detail. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:23, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per nom and Sangrolu. Agree that these aren't too MANUAL-ish, but that doesn't help the notability. – Bellum (talk) 23:06, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
