[edit] Age of Empires III/Civilizations Chart

Game guide - fancruft. Orphaned page, not really used. Werdna648^T/_C\^@ 10:55, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. "Orphaned page, not really used" is not true: article is transcluded into main Age of Empires III article. It fits well in the main article. It's formatted well and looks complete. Also I'm not sure if it needs to be discussed here since it is only part of an article which was factored for editability of the main article. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-04 12:43Z
• Merge and redirect to retain attribution per GFDL requirements, why the heck is it transcluded in the first place? Transclusion is discouraged in the article space. - Mgm|^(talk) 13:23, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep per Quarl. A large number of computer game articles follow this format. --Mareino 14:36, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. -- JJay 03:10, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment page has already been merged (back?) into the main Age of Empires III article, where it looks quite okay. On that basis I'm changing my vote to redirect per GFDL requirements. Zunaid 08:02, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• It has not been merged back. It's transcluded there. Merge and redirect; we don't split articles for editing convenience. —Cryptic (talk) 15:21, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as already merged in the main article. --Neigel von Teighen 15:22, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
  • If material is merged it either needs to be redirected or undergo a history merge to retain attribution per GFDL. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:19, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge — Items not merged, was fixed by somebody. Civilizations list can be placed in Age of Empires III article, as it is not too big. Kareeser|^Talk! 16:05, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per above: transclusions are not ideal. Turnstep 04:35, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Also, is this just a direct copy of something that comes with the game? --Ajdz 05:48, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge. The information should not be removed, though it doesn't need its own article. - MB (Talk) 11:18, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
