vanity, unformatted list, non-encyclopedic Chris 73 | Talk 06:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete as it's a direct copy and paste from a website as stated in the article - CSD A8 and re-creation of deleted content CSD G4. Apart from that it's just a list of items for a game, no encyclopedic content at all.--Andeh 06:32, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm not sure this is copyrightable, but it's awful formatting and has no encycloopedic value in current form. Ace of Sevens 06:41, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unfortunately no speedy criteria apply. Copyvio maybe? And how is it "vanity"?Hyenaste (tell) 06:43, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
    • May be a speedy deletion candidate per CSD A8.--Andeh 06:48, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
      • Maybe. If not that then surely one of the previous versions is similar enough to warrant a speedy per CSD G4. Hyenaste (tell) 06:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
        • Two reasons for speedy then.--Andeh 07:08, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. SevereTireDamage 12:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep This may be usefull, it is NOT copyrighted, and the formatting can be fixed. I may vote to delete IF I replace the content of this page with and/or add a link to this page or the RuneScape page. --MasterEagle 07:00, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • This would seem to fall under the category fo a simple list of facts, which isn't copyrightable any more than a list of countries that are U.N. members, but I don't see how a list of items that doesn't explain what they are or their place in the game could be of any use to someone who is not playing the game, making it a game guide. Ace of Sevens 07:16, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Be careful. Some lists are copyrightable, even lists of "facts" depending on what it takes to acquire the list... like a list of the 10 richest people in the world, (good luck finding that list on Wikipedia) McKay 09:11, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
    • It's not useful to a player of the game. It's not even up-to-date. o_O Hyenaste (tell) 07:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment not adding {{db-repost}} or {{db-copyvio}} speedy tags as the pages past deletion went without an AfD and the copyvio is questionable.--Andeh 07:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
    • I deleted the page, but the creator asked me to go though AFD, hence I restored the page and listed it here -- Chris 73 | Talk 07:15, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
      • Well your the 2nd admin to speedy it this year, so I guess an AfD is the way to go.--Andeh 07:18, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Move to a gaming wiki listcruft and gamecruft. -- Koffieyahoo 07:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete per nom MikeMorley 07:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, or Speedy Delete if someone can provide proof of past AFD This is just a block text of items, completely useless to Wikipedia and probably completely useless to GameFAQS. J.J.Sagnella 07:51, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - pointless (possibly copyvio) cruft. Can never ever be encyclopediac - Peripitus (Talk) 08:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, not possibly encyclopedic. Creator, swallow your pride and absorb this as a learning experience, we're not trying to scare you off. --Dhartung | Talk 08:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. RuneHQ already has a complete list of game items, from what I know. All you'd have to do is link RuneHQ in the main article, and you'd have a better, more valuable list without filling Wikipedia with cruft. Dark Shikari 10:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete - Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and this is just some raw data, probably generated by some modding tool. CP/M comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 10:27, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete vanity Matthew Fenton (contribs) 10:50, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm all for deletion, btu how is this vanity? There's no evidence that this article was written by anyoen involved in creating RuneScape. I'd go so far as to say it's improbable. Ace of Sevens 10:55, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Absolute and total failure of Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information - just a totally raw list dump, not even formatted. Ace of Risk 11:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete - nonsense, and per any other problem above, take your pick. For a moment there I was going to vote keep or close debate, thinking it was an article we were still working on after previous AfD's! :-) CaptainVindaloo t c e 13:50, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete with Righteous Fire - As per note in nomination, the article was already deleted once via AFD nom. Wouldn't even be appropriate for a gaming wiki. Torinir ( Ding my phone My support calls E-Support Options ) 16:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete This appears to be a data base dump(source most likely game code) as it refers to non-player items as well, would therefore be a copyright violation Gnangarra 17:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
    • This statement on the page The ID numbers are used internally by the game and are not normally visible to players should be enough to demonstrate that the source is copyrighted. Gnangarra 17:24, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
    Comment; notice the asterisks at the start of the word 'repellent' (producing '***ellent')? That looks like the RuneScape chat filter in action, suggesting that this may well be an automatic dump of data straight from the game. I can't imagine why its set off the chat filter, maybe the RuneScape client was reverse engineered somehow. CaptainVindaloo t c e 17:38, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Slow delete per nom. All voters please be reminded that WP:CRUFT is not a criterion for speedy deletion. {{move to gaming wiki}}. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 19:23, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete for so many reasons, all mentioned above. GassyGuy 20:36, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
