Sword of Truth locations, part 2

Following this previous AfD, this nomination encompasses all the remaining contents of Category:Sword of Truth locations, as a component of an ongoing attempt to clean up articles related to The Sword of Truth series.

Similarly to the articles involved in the previous nomination, all of these articles appear to fail many of the MOS guidelines for writing about fiction:

They are composed in large part of direct quotations from the books, and constitute copyright violations. Wizard's Keep is a good (bad!) example of this - the grossly over-detailed descriptions are all directly paraphrased from one or another of the novels. A search in Google Books will probably turn them up.
They are in-universe descriptions of fictional subjects - they fail to provide any real-world context for, or any critical analysis of, their subjects. Most of the articles' subjects have minimal notability, at best.

As before, there will be more of these nominations. I'm breaking these up into blocks of 10-15 articles at a time to make sure commenters have an adequate chance to look at the articles in question. Zetawoof_(ζ) 09:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

delete fiction cruft, no encyclopedic content in any of these articles, as was the case in the previous AfD. All the article contents are strictly "in universe", there is no literary analysis of the locations which might be of any interest to anyone other than a rabid fan of the books (not that I can imagine what "use" a fan would put this information to, either). All of these articles amount to a collection of details from some novels without context or meaning. The Sword of Truth Wiki has 939 articles, I can't see any valid rationale for them all to be over here as well. Pete.Hurd (talk) 19:42, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Forgot to mention that I think the Category Category:Sword of Truth locations has no rationale for existence if the member articles are all cruft like this. Pete.Hurd (talk) 19:52, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no secondary sources establishing real world notability of these fictional locations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RMHED (talk • contribs) 20:29, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete. Aaaaah! Not more fancruft! It’s everywhere. Utterly non notable unsourced fictional locations. --S.dedalus 23:32, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all without secondary sources. Capitalistroadster 23:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
