Plot of Mortal Kombat

Pure plot summary/In-universe background, unsuitable per WP:NOT. --Eyrian 02:11, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Note that this article was already nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Mortal Kombat storyline and was kept. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 04:43, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Mortal Kombat (series), per WP:FICT. Merge only after heavy trimming and untrivialization though of course. Kariteh 08:58, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Mortal Kombat (series). This violates WP:NOT, but should be merged due to WP:FICT. It's disappointing to see the previous nomination resulted in keep, when it obviously shouldn't have. --Teggles 10:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, plot articles are a no-no per WP:NOT. A heavily trimmed version would be acceptable as a merge per above. Arkyan  ^(talk) 15:33, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Like in the last AfD, I vote Delete. The plot is already explained in the articles for each individual game, and there's no need to merge this already large article into the rather large main MK page. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 17:27, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- In that case, the reasonable solution would be to redirect the article. I fail to see what benefit there would be in deleting it completely. Kariteh 17:37, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - How so? Personally I don't see the point in keeping the edit history. If this gets kept and redirected, then all it takes is one user who doesn't agree with the decision to restore it back to a full article. Since this article already fails WP:NOT, it really doesn't belong here. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 18:39, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Risks of being restored or reverted aren't really relevant at all in deletion discussion. Besides, a deleted article could also be restored anyway. Which means in all cases that if (and only if) there is too much revert-warring, the redirected or deleted article would be protected by an admin and that would be it.

Delete - I'd been planning on renominating this in a few weeks if substantial work was not done per the outcome of the previous AFD. Seeing as how someone beat me to it and seeing as how there's been no substantive work done since the last nomination and the likelihood anyone will be doing any substantive work on it is low, delete it. This should never have survived the previous AFD since the arguments in favor of keeping it are incredibly poor and should have been discounted. Otto4711 22:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into a section in the Mortal Kombat article. Anonymous Dissident^Talk 23:50, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per every one above, useally it is not in an individual article.--JForget 01:01, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
