[edit] Strike at Karkand

Game guide article. No value.--M8v2 04:51, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:28, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• Transwiki to here if they want it, else delete. Wikipedia is not a game guide, crufty. Don't forget to delete all the related images. MER-C 12:49, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Very Strong Keep Definitely not a game guide. A valuable sub-section of Battlefield 2. --WikiCats 02:48, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. This is an obvious case of misinterpretation of Wikipedia policy. We all agree that Wikipedia should not include game guides - that is, articles where there are instructions, hints, guides, tips, and other text where the article generally instructs the reader how to play the game. What Wikipedia is here for is to state facts and other reference information - and that is all this article does. It is also all the other articles do that this user has put up for deletion. I would really like to know what separates this article from any other game related article. How does this qualify as a game guide? If this article was merged into Battlefield 2, would that article also be a game guide? A LOT of articles are being put up for deletion by this user, and if they get deleted because of a complete misinterpretation of Wikipedia policy then a lot of work will be wasted. Please consider voting on the other AfD's that this user has decided to start (see here, here, here, here, here, here and here). Remy B 03:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect, main article seems to contain all relevant and encyclopedic information already, so there's no use in a merge. gamecruft, Wikipedia is not a game guide/manual. -- Ned Scott 04:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, I'd just like to make it known that while I've been cutting and pasting some of my deletion rationales, but I have been viewing each article and evaluating it independently. I completely agree that these are game guides and do not belong on Wikipedia. -- Ned Scott 04:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Strong redirect to List of maps in Battlefield 2, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information--TBCTaLk?!? 05:00, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per MER-C, transwiki to BF2 wiki if so desired. Angus McLellan (Talk) 08:19, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Game guide, cruft, unencyclopedic, etc. --Calton | Talk 13:27, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as gamecruft Bwithh 16:12, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Game guidish. List of BF2 maps should have all the info. Unicyclopedia 05:31, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
