Deletion

I object in having the drow page and other related pages deleted. This is because I beleive many readers out there would like to be more informed about fictional races, stories, backgrounds, and storylines. When they read a book and come across something (such as a drow) they like to know what it is in more detail. Also, what other books they may be in and/or the author who writes them. I've read some forgotten realm books and had no idea what a drow was. yes, they did explain a little what it was in the book, however I wanted to know more about it. I did while using your site. It was very informative and would love to keep being informed about them and other forgotten realms races and storyies.

As a player and reader of D&D material, I believe these pages to be fundamental to all interested either directly to the material (being a novel reader or a RPG player), or by being interested in fantasy races "culture"/lore. While some information may be edited out for copyright/information directly directed to the book reasons, this sort of entry is essential for the RPG and fantasy scene.

I cannot understand how this could be legitimately considered for deletion. The material is valuable to the community, it is well presented, and I am evidence that it is sought.

I sincerely hope that such hard work will not go punished. I also hope that Wikipedia will not bow to some ill-informed (or, more likely, ill-intending) attorney's interpretation of Fair Use.

Please see your own article on the topic and act reasonably.
