[edit] Support
- The title of the game is Samurai Warriors. However, the article of that name is being used as a redirect to Samurai (disambiguation). It appears that it was used at one time for the game, however on August 3, 2005 User:FunkyChicken! moved it without giving a justification; I have since asked him for one and no response has been forthcoming. As the Samurai Warriors link has an extensive history now, requesting this change. み使い Mitsukai 15:20, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

IT makes sense to have it go to Samurai (disambiguation) since I searched for Samurai Warriors and expected an article about Samurai not an obscure video game. ShigeruNomi 06:43, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
- This game is not obscure in the United States, and makes about as much sense as redirecting the original Japanese video game title (Sengoku Musou) to Sengoku Jidai. For that matter, a game that sold a million copies in Japan, more than that in the US, and has a sequel upcoming is not obscure, and falls well within notability standards for Wikipedia. What would make MORE sense is for have the top of the Samurai Warriors article (all capitalized) to say, "This article is about the video game. For the historical Japanese warrior caste, please see Samurai." I think this would be a more reasonable compromise. Usually, when native English speakers refer to samurai, they do not append warriors to the end, as this is considered redundant. -- Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^ 02:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
- ShigeruNomi, I strongly object. This videogame is part of a series (Dynasty Warriors) that has sold millions worldwide. If you think of it as obscure, you obviously have no knowledge of the game itself. Why, then, are you here? The redirect is stupid - no one says "Samurai Warriors" - in the West, and indeed probably the East, the common mode of reference is just "Samurai". Plus, why would you capitalise "Warriors"? I'm reverting the redirect and will continue to do so if you even think of changing it back. I'm sorry, but this very idea is silly. IDX 12:35, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Duplicates!
- Er, why are there two copies of this article? -- Cronocke 01:25, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- It looks like this occured when Toasthaven2 made Samurai Warriors into a redirect page to Samurai in June, and created Samurai Warriors (video game). The redirect was reverted by 75.10.8.89 but the duplicate page not handled. Since more edits have been made to Samurai Warriors (video game) than this article since June, I would suggest leaving that as the main article and turning this into a disambiguation page. Marasmusine 06:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'd actually recommend that Samurai Warriors (video game) redirect to Samurai Warriors, as it's related to the Dynasty Warriors article (same company), and for reasons stated above, the Samurai Warriors article shouldn't redirect to Samurai itself. The little note at the top works just fine. If we're just unwilling to compare passages between the two pages and consolidate, I can volunteer. -- Cronocke 23:00, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, I think it's better that way. I tried comparing the two before but my eyes went dizzy and I had to lie down. Marasmusine 06:46, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect is up. Feel free to revert if necessary. -- Cronocke 10:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non-player character list
I'm considering the removal of the list of non-playable characters; it takes up a large amount of space without providing any useful information. A simple statement such as 'many historical samurai from the Sengoku period make appearances in the game as non-playable characters' would suffice. Opinions? Marasmusine 19:22, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
To quote the tag I've just added: Articles on computer and video games should not list minutiae... Marasmusine 19:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
