Talk:Abaddon

From Guild Wars 2 Wiki

Abaddon has been effectively dead for over 250 years. Do we really need this article? --Santax (talk · contribs) 18:23, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Nope. He's never been mentioned as part as GW2 except stuff like "...since the death of Abaddon..." Calor (t) 18:27, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Lore from Guild Wars clearly applies in Guild Wars 2, as they have the same setting. That said, I think this should be rewritten from a 250-years-later standpoint. —Tanaric 19:51, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps. I'd be more comfortable deleting it unless Abaddon pops up in dialogue a lot in GW2. We can fill in the GWW Abaddon article with the last tidbits of info given, if necessary. I have a feeling interwiki linking is going to be used a lot more than we expected. But this whole conversation should take place on the article retention page, not here.

Uh, he's not actually dead (gl hf killing a god, I don't know what rules they have in the devs' minds for it), so I'd argue for keep. Willing to bet he'll pop up at some point to say boo. -- Armond Warblade 22:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Nah, I think we got him for good. Kormir finished him off with the power the five gods gave her. Lord Belar 00:18, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Dhuum's been dead for over a thousand years and Abaddon is a significant historical figure. -- Gordon Ecker 08:53, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

If the site is keeping Dhuum and menzies, you might as well keep Abaddon. I think Olias mentioned that Grenth will not make the same mistake he made with Dhuum or something along those lines once nightfall has been beaten. there could be the possibility of Abaddon being a re-emerged threat (Farwind 04:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC))

don't delete this because it tells how kormir stole abbadon's power so that relates to a god so why should we delete it (Arthurperson 20:51, 21 January 2008 (UTC))

I can name other historical figures that don't get GW2W pages, because everything they did was done in GW1. As far as I know, Abbadon hasn't done anything new after GW1. Delete. Or we can bring Gwen in, because she's a historical figure. Or maybe we could even bring in the Lich, afterall he's from Orr, and Orr had an ancient dragon, so they're related, right? No. Delete immediately please, completely irrelevent to GW2. Kai Nui 19:31, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Kainui brings up a good point. It'd be best to delete for his/her reasons. Calor 19:45, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, seriously no need for this. We MAY need it for the future, But I'd wager that won't happen soon. --Nuclear 7 19:48, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

To me it seems an equivalent of a "dynastic period" article relating to Elona, or a "the empire of the dragon started in **** with kaineng" article, in that it doesn't directly effect the game, but give very important background on how the game world got to be the way it is.Tambora 22:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

There's a difference between historical figures and significant historical figures. Abaddon played a major role in the Searing, the Cataclysm, the Jade Wind, the formation of the Desolation, the drying up of the Crystal Sea and the near extinction of the Mursaat and the Forgotten. -- Gordon Ecker 09:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Don't forget Nightfall as well. Cress Arvein 02:15, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
