[edit] Abandoned Ship

• Delete - Gamecruft. The article with this title could be something a lot more notable.--Atlantima 21:42, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - non-encyclopedic JoJan 20:15, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. No opinion. —Cryptic (talk) 06:54, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. When List of locations in Pokémon (or more likely List of locations in Hoenn) is made, it will mention this. Probably a one-liner. In the meantime, delete this. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 08:15, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, at least until List of locations in Pokémon is made we shouldn't take this away from people. Kappa 09:56, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I started List of locations in Hoenn to include this location, without bothering to use any of the nascent information contained here. Can we delete this useless cruft now? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 10:05, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Is it part of the deletionist plan to drive away contributors of information they don't like by insulting their input? Kappa 10:47, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
      • TINC, "deletionist" or otherwise, and, again, labels like that are needlessly divisive.
        Frankly, I do feel this article is near-useless and certainly cruft; it isn't even notable in the context of the game in which it appears. (It's an optional dungeon with no significant items or Pokémon contained therein.) Even given that, I'd have voted to merge this article (or just closed this AFD and merged it myself) if there was any content to merge.
        If the author weren't an AOL anon (I checked), I'd welcome him or her to help us at the Pokémon Wikiproject, just like three other contributors that have gotten a username and joined after my invitation.
        Next time, try assuming good faith, please. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 11:56, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
      • Kappa, please explain how this is any less a personal attack than the one you whined about? -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:55, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
        • I don't like seeing good-faith contributors driven away by insults, if that causes me to appear whiny so be it. Kappa 18:13, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I'm all for having Pokémon articles in Wikipedia, but this really isn't notable enough for its own article, especially as it is now in List of locations in Hoenn. Sonic Mew | talk to me 13:28, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect so that people looking for it will be pointed to the list. - Mgm|^(talk) 15:08, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - too much pokemon stuff already! --MacRusgail 16:38, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete; I'm not convinced even redirecting is worthwhile for such a generic term. — Haeleth Talk 23:56, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
• Recreate the article as a stub. Abandoned ships appear in dozens of video games; there's at least one in TLOZ:Wind Waker, several in the third Final Fantasy on GameBoy... — stillnotelf has a talk page 00:03, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as to general for redirect (and because above noted lists already carry mostly non-notable information). Jtmichcock 05:43, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
