Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Necromancer Games
Wizards of the Coast, '''''THE''''' premier producer of d20 products and authors of the Open Gaming Licence itself, lauded, mentioned and used content from Necromancer Games in their official sourcebook "Monster Manual II." On page 220 of that book Necromancer Games is refered to as "One of the very first d20 publishers..." Two original monsters, created by Necromancer Games, "Scorpionfolk" and "Razor boar," are officially indoctrinated into Dungeons and Dragons canon, officially statted up and approved. A sidebar describes the Open Game Licence and Necromancers role within that, praising their work and mentioning some of their early releases, it goes on to say,"As an example of the good work to be found in that collection, we've 'adopted' these two creatures and decided to include them in an official Dungeons & Dragons Product." Wizards of the Coast is very much independant of Necromancer Games, and the sidebar is clearly not a press release or simple statement of the company's existence and how to reach them. This, along with Dragon Magazine's coverage of The Ennie's, both the nominations and the winners over several years, including Necromancer Games on multiple occasions, should easily satisfy Part 1 of . The Company's founder has also been featured and interviewed in Polyhedron Magazine, which is now part of Dungeon Magazine. In 3.5 Dungeons and Dragons, in the d20 Gaming industry, there are no higher sources than Wizards of The Coast and Dragon Magazine. There is absolutely no legitimate reason to delete a Necromancer Games article. It may also be noted that the article is, as yet, incomplete; The products listed are not the only original products released by the company. Indeed, many are missing, and at least one that is listed is a licenced product, albeit a significant one. (Judge's Guild) This, of course, is an editting problem, not one of legitimacy
