Lore:Unknown Oblivion Hero

This page is unnecessary for two basic reasons. One, it's an Oblivion-specific page in the Lore namespace, and Two, as the {{proposeddeletion}} notice previously said, there is already a page at Lore:Hero that covers the necessary information. The little information on the page is either speculative (birthdate), equivocal (gender) or irrelevant (the reason why the emperor was going through the cell isn't important). There's no other information that can usefully be added to the page that couldn't be added just as usefully to Lore:Hero, so I say this one should be deleted. --rpeh •T•C•E• 06:37, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

• Userfy - I hate to discourage anybody's creativity, so I'm going to suggest userfication rather than deletion. If it later turns into a Lore worthy article, we can consider merging it into Lore:Hero or whatever we think is appropriate at that time. – Robin Hood↝talk 06:54, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

• Keep - As I said [[Lore Talk:Unknown Oblivion Hero|here]], I believe this page should not be deleted because it provides much more information than the Lore:Hero. It is not finished yet so you should wait to see how it looks like when it is finished. --Rigas Papadopoulos 07:55, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Rather than creating a stub article with almost nothing on it, you should create a sandbox in your userspace. rpeh •T•C•E• 08:55, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

I do not want this at a sandbox because I do not intend it for fun or practice, but as an article that will help the site. Let me finish it and then if you do not believe it is worthy, contact me and tell me that you believe it should deleted. --Rigas Papadopoulos 09:16, 29 September 2010 (UTC) P.S. For fun and practice I use this sandbox.

Sandboxes aren't just for fun or practice, they're for developing new articles too. Many editors, including myself, use them for such a purpose. rpeh •T•C•E• 09:19, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

I repeat; let me finish the article and then propose it for deletion. If you insist so much, I can transport the page to a private page, finish the article, and then put it back [[Lore:Unknown Oblivion Hero|here]]. --Rigas Papadopoulos 10:58, 29 September 2010 (UTC) P.S. The Lore:Hero is much better now but I believe it still needs more detailed information.

• Delete - Relevant content can be added to Lore:Hero. I think not using a seperate article for a game hero prevents them from detailing too much. Since player character witness all game events the articles could end up summarizing entire games. Lore:Hero could be extended, but I don't believe seperate articles are a good idea. --Timenn-<talk> 09:57, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

• Delete or Userfy - I don't really care which, but there is no way that this will ever become anything but extremely redundant. It is also definitely too game-specific for the lore namespace. --GK^talk2me 13:15, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Consensus: N/A. Page has now been userfied.
