Another reasonably famous fictional race (gaming faction, etc.) that utterly fails WP:GNG/WP:NFICTION. I can't find any analysis of this race that isn't PRIMARY or a fan WP:PLOT summary. WP is not a gaming guide, either, _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:40, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Major race of a major group of games and literary works. This recent swathe of attempted deletions of articles on fantasy and science fiction topics makes me uncomfortable, as it suggests that some editors are having fun getting rid of valid content, which is certainly not what Wikipedia is all about. We delete rubbish and very minority interest material. We do not usually delete material that is central to major literary works and games. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:45, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Races and nations of Warhammer Fantasy#Dwarf. Non-notable on its own. Contrary to Necrothesp's interpretation, this is not 'central to major literary works', it is specifically about dwarves in Warhammer rather than overall._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 17:36, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I also said "and games"! It is central to Warhammer, which is a major game. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:44, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Races and nations of Warhammer Fantasy#Dwarf, where this fictional race is already covered with WP:DUEWEIGHT. Per WP:NOT#PLOT and WP:WAF, primary (plot) info only serves to provide context for real-world info (sourced!, not WP:OR like here), and since this article hasn't got sourced real-world info, well, it doesn't need to exist. – sgeureka ^t•c 08:36, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
