[edit] Criticism of World of Warcraft

Appears to violate WP:OR and cannot help but be a magnet for POV. This is not an article, it is a list of grievences. Indrian 04:34, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep - there are sections (the gay players issue, for example) which can be supported with media references etc and which are as I understand it (not being a player or gay) quite controversial. The rest of the article doesn't read like a list of grievances to me in its current incarnation, although I agree that it could become one. BigHaz 06:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I have been against this article for a long time, but I still want to keep it. Stating WP:OR is wrong, seeing as the points in the article right now have citations. The ones that don't are clearly marked with ^{[citation needed]} . Yes, it is a POV magnet, but so is George W. Bush, Microsoft and a whole slew of other articles, so that again is a silly point to bring up. Havok (T/C/c) 07:15, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I agree wholeheartedly with Havok's comment above. Viper 14:15, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and improve citations. My guess is that this is already a split off article from the very large World of Warcraft article -Markeer 13:42, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup article, sources need to be improved and can unverifiable ones can be removed. --Terence Ong _{(T | C)} 14:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment — The current title made me suspect it would be an essay. Although it's a subtle change, I think that "Criticisms of World of Warcraft" makes it sound more like a report. But whatever. — RJH (talk) 16:43, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: Just fix the sourcing. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 09:04, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
