[edit] Table of ranks in Battlefield 2

Game guide article. Gives points needed for Ranks and the rewards per rank. Prob deletion was taken done by another user. It's external link is a website that gives you the same info.--M8v2 04:35, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - This is not a guide, there are loads of lists on Wikipedia, what is your obsession with putting all BF2 related articles up for deletion? --Lorian^T_C 07:51, 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 12:36, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• Very Strong Keep Definitely not a game guide. Notable. Not cruft. A valuable sub-section of Battlefield 2. --WikiCats 02:41, 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 03:10, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Strong delete I've been looking at all these articles in this little group of deletions, and they all appear as guides that do not belong on Wikipedia. gamecruft, not notable outside of the game, but this level of detail does not aid a reader's understanding of the game, it would only be relevant to a person playing the game in the form of a game guide. -- Ned Scott 04:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete. Very crufty, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information--TBCTaLk?!? 04:56, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per TBC, classic cruft - only useful to fans, who already know this, but entirely useless and indiscriminate detail for the rest, for whom it lacks context. Angus McLellan (Talk) 08:14, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Game guide, cruft, unencyclopedic, etc. --Calton | Talk 13:31, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete. Anyone who would be interested in this already owns the game and has the manual with this list of ranks. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:48, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete game guide material not encyclopeidc transwiki to StrategyGaming if possible. Hbdragon88 05:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete For all the above reasons. The Kinslayer 13:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
