This entire topic should be moved to a role-playing wiki and removed from here (with the possible exception of a short summary) D O N D E groovily Talk to me 03:57, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. This is a merge proposal, and should occur on the talkpage of one of the articles, with editors at the others invited to the discussion. See the Writing about fiction guideline for some advice about bringing the articles in line with the in-universe guidelines. I edited the above deletion rationale slightly to include links to all of the proposed articles. - 2/0 (cont.) 07:07, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and suggest speedy close. No real deletion rationale is presented by this nomination, and I agree with 2over0 that disputes over the depth of coverage and whether these articles should be merged is not an AfD matter. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:38, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The only way I see to bring these in line with writing about fiction guidelines is to change all but the main article into a redirect, with zero content merged whatsoever. Role-playing enthusiasts who know these games well enough aren't likely to do that, but I fully intend to pending the results of this discussion.

Keep–As an article on a notable, award-winning game. Nomination appears to be WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Suggest nominator read Wikipedia:DEL and select a valid reason in the future.—RJH (talk) 20:00, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment based on the comments, I'm fine with the main article (Mage:The Ascension, pardon my spelling). The various sub-articles, however, fail to assert a real-world significance. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 22:14, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - and hash out how to merge material in the article talk pages. -- Whpq (talk) 16:44, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - No valid deletion argument made by nominator. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:03, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - No valid deletion argument made by nominator. Main article is clearly notable award winning game, others are reasonable spinout articles. Edward321 (talk) 03:20, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
