[edit] Hero class

Hero class is something that is still in the works, nothing is known about it and it has even been removed from the official World of Warcraft homepage. I tried merging it with Classes in World of Warcraft, but it wasn't welcome, so deleting it as a last resort to add it again when and if Blizzard actually does anything with it.

• Delete. A non-existent class of character for an rpg? Definitely doesn't need its own article. Kafziel 13:57, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Change the focus to the Hero class system used in Warcraft III and mention how Blizzard plans to implement something similar for players in WoW. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 14:13, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I like this idea more then my own AfD. If something viable can be made of the article within this AfDs closing I'll remove my vote and make it a keep on instead. Havok (T/C/c) 15:08, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Looks to me to be a game guide... A kneejerk reaction at seeing a chart in the page. Still say delete, as there seems to not be enough -- at least not yet -- for it to be worth a seperate article. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 22:05, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment This has been mentioned in about every gaming article that I know of. This isn't a game guide at all, it is a description of a class found in a game. A guide tells you how to play a game, which this doesn't. Please look at Strategy guide for more information. --Pinkkeith 20:42, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Parts of games and even entire games get cancelled all the time, it doesn't mean we need entire articles for them. Garrett^Talk 22:38, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Game guide cruft. Bwithh 03:14, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT, both game guide and crystal ball until it's implemented in WoW Mitaphane _talk 03:39, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment This is not a game guide, and it's not even a crystal ball thing. The article is about something that was announced, but hasn't been talked about since it's announcement. Crystal ball would be understandable if it speculated on what the class was, but seeing as the information is from Blizzard themselves, it's not speculation. And as described above, a game guide would indicate that you learn how to play the game, and you don't here, it simply tells you what this is. If you mark this as a game guide we should just delete all articles about any game on Wikipedia. Havok (T/C/c) 07:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

• Well, it is sort of a game guide. It's not a strategy guide or a walkthrough, but it is intended to be a guide to an aspect of a game. What else would one call it? A biography? An anthropology article? It doesn't mean that we need to delete every article about games; just the ones that offer excessive detail by giving obscure (or unused) character classes their own articles.
