Still out of scope, per the above linked discussions.  I realize that there is now no "interwiki" for Hexen, but nothing stops anyone from linking to an independent site from the other Riders' pages, or from a hypothetical background article about the Heretic universe.  '''Delete''' please.    [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 19:58, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

:Meh, disagree. Let's '''keep''' it. We have no reason to link to Wikipedia (where it doesn't exist anymore) or to Wikia (because Wikia is Wikia); and it hasn't turned into a full-fledged creeping of other Hexen II stuff. Having single articles for Heretic II, Hexen II, and Eidolon seems acceptable to me. I'm not saying articles for random Hexen II enemies like those cat things or medusas or whatever wouldn't be out of scope; but Eidolon makes sense because it'd be weird to have to censor him out of articles discussing Korax and D'Sparil. --[[User:Gez|Gez]] 05:59, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Old discussion moved to /archived. Please discuss the matter of this article's relevance at Doom_Wiki:Central_Processing#Heretic.2FHexen_2.3B_Eidolon.2C_etc.. -- Jdowland 18:09, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Relevance of this topic

Um... what exactly has changed since the 2006 discussions [1] [2] [3] to make Eidolon related to Doom, when it wasn't related then?    Ryan W 01:00, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

The one point that could be made in favor of it now by opposition to then is that pages like Wikipedia:Eidolon (Hexen) no longer exist and the information that was to be found there in 2006 has been entirely removed now. The other point (viz. "it's not Doom") still stands of course. --Gez 09:18, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
That's an argument for creating an article *somewhere* on Wikia.  Here, for example.  There's also a Hexen Wiki.    Ryan W 17:06, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
