[edit] StarCraft Secret Missions

This is nothing but a blow-by-blow plot summary of a handful of Blizzard-made downloadable Starcraft missions. It's absolutely excessive plot summary (failing WP:FICT miserably), and has no merge target I can think of. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:11, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

• Trans-wiki to wikibooks, where such a thing is commonplace. AdamBiswanger1 05:22, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
  • They don't want this kind of thing any more. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
    • No? Eh, I never bothered to learn about wikibooks anyway. Go ahead and delete it. AdamBiswanger1 05:54, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Completely unsuitable for Wikipedia. A one paragraph or less summary (read: not nine pages long) in Starcraft or something is all that's needed. ' ^{(Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!)} 05:45, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as the most cruftilent of cruft. Opabinia regalis 06:47, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, User:Opabinia regalis said it best. This article is truly spectacular in its excess. Aplomado ^talk 07:21, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom.--Auger Martel 07:47, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as gamecruft. Cleaned up, it could appear on a games how-to website rather than an encylopedia.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  08:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, Wikipedia is WP:NOT for HOWTOs (instruction manuals), tutorials or game guides. I'm sure someone will be along soon to argue that it is "useful" to someone (along with comments about Wikipedia's mission to encompass human knowledge and probably a quote from "Socrates")... but that does not make it an encylopedia article. Take the content somewhere appropriate. - Motor (talk) 11:16, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and Motor. Angus McLellan (Talk) 12:55, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Trans-wiki there has to be a starcraft wiki at wikia. I'll copy the code to my sandbox, after that delete it. MichaelBillington 01:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• This has been afd'd and kept before, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Various StarCraft articles. —Lamentation :( 08:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
• Trans-wiki if possible, otherwise Keep, it's not hurting anybody. --Liface 01:10, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - wikipedia has several other well-detailed plot summaries of fictional material, including the other StarCraft storyline articles and the summaries for novels such as the Dune series. As mentioned above, this article already survived an "article for deletion" debate. The bonus missions add greatly to the StarCraft lore. Kimera757 03:04, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
