 * User:Firebead elvenhair: Hi! Can I ask you why you decided to keep the "Karoo" page?
 * User:Hunterofsalvation: Because of Karoo Meerkat. The cardname implies there is a Karoo in Jamuraa. I fully agree with you that it is not name but a type of savannah, but they name it karoo, anyway
 * User:Firebead elvenhair: Yes, there is surely one (or more) Karoo in Jamuraa, but we don't know where. The location put in the page (west of Jaemda Sea) is purely speculation, since there isn't any label in that place on the Jamuraan map. So I think we could delete the specific page "Karoo" and just put a line or two on the nort-western Jamuraa section, saying that among its features there is the Karoo.
 * To be quite frank this articles does not offer much. From what I have gathered a Karoo is a half-desert in the south of Africa. Besides the two cards, this place does not seem to have any relevant connection to Magic lore. - Yandere Sliver H09 symbol.png 09:01, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm in favor of deletion. The name "karoo" is not seen anywhere else, and these cards date from an era in which I can offer a citation for our Earth being part of the Multiverse (feature at the back of one of the Arabian Nights comics). I could also argue that for these cards, the name has been genericized, along the lines of Arctic Wolves. One way or the other, I see no basis for the specific geographic claims on the page, and without those, I don't think this page has any meaningful content. --Corveroth (talk) 19:01, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I can say that, according to Hakim Loreweaver (in the Mirage:Oasis game) meerkats "live on the dry, flat karoos of Jamuraa". So karoos are just a common term for a typical climatic zone (like tundra and savannah). Surely, there isn't any specific location (like that provided in this article) for a single karoo, not in the game nor on the map.--Firebead elvenhair (talk) 19:17, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
