• Gamecruft, a scoring system. Never could be notable, never could be more than just a stub. I even struggle to see anything of this could be merged. J.J.Sagnella 21:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Article's purpose is to inform about Runescape's scoring system. It is notable.--Ed 20:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Ed, we don't have to mention everything. For example in the Adolf Hitler article does it talk about his toenails? Wikipedia is not a discriminate list of information. J.J.Sagnella 21:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete; we have enough problems keeping the current set of subpages under control, without rogue pages like this cropping up. This deserves nothing more than a couple of sentences in the main article, certainly not a separate article. The worst bit is that it doesn't actually contain anything about the hiscores system, it just lists the ingame skills, which is duplicating RuneScape skills. For a while, it was a borderline attack page against a RuneScape player aswell. CaptainVindaloo ^{t c e} 21:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as redundant rogue subpage per Captain V. Hyenaste ^(tell) 21:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Compromise???Why don't we try to add a few sentences about Runescape's scoring system on RuneScape, then make this page the main article? That way, we could have the info on the RuneScape main page, and this article.--Ed 21:19, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

  Everything that a reader will need to know about the scoring system can be expressed in two or three sentences in the main article, with a link to the official RuneScape.com page explaining how it works in detail. A separate article is completely unnecessary. CaptainVindaloo ^{t c e} 21:44, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Unencyclopedic game-guide info. We generally wouldn't have scoring guides for even the absolute most notable games (Pac Man, Super Mario Bros) and certainly not for Runescape! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete per above.--Andeh 21:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Can we at least talk about the compromise proposed above?--Ed 21:36, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Strong delete — unencyclopedic. — Deckiller 21:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete - Ed, if it's non-notable and unencyclopedic, adding a few sentences to a different article and linking to this one doesn't change anything. --PresN 21:45, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. PresN 21:46, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• I have decided to comply with the deletion policy. As creator of the page, I will be deleting it.--Ed 22:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• If you hate the article so much, why are you putting it back???--Ed 22:10, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

  Because only an Administrator can delete an article! You are only blanking it, which is setting off User:Tawkerbot2. CaptainVindaloo ^{t c e} 22:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Strong delete. - useless subpage --Kungfu Adam ^(talk) 22:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Fairly useless. It doens't really tell me anything useful abotut he scorign system and I suspect if it did, it would be a game guide. There's no way for this to provide any large amount of good info. It can't possibly cover anythign that couldn't just go on the main RuneScape article. Ace of Sevens 04:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
