[edit] Weapons in Dead Rising

Weapons in Dead Rising (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Lots of original research, it reads like a game guide, and is badly done with many grammar errors and the like--SUIT⁴² 19:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete/Redirect - The sheer number of weapons available in the game is one of the features that sets it apart, but this article is badly written, incomplete, and reads like a game guide. The number of weapons should be mentioned, and if at all possible a straight listing of their names would be welcome in the article, but this is needless detail. None of the weapons are particularly notable within the game, much less outside it. -- Y|yukichigai (_ramble argue ^check) 23:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete WP:NOT a gameguide, the locations and tips for usage of items in this game are not necessary here and are GameFAQs material. Mentioning the variety of usable items in the main article and giving some examples would be more useful. QuagmireDog 13:59, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per above DurinsBane87 20:10, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Delete - Obviously a game guide. Nothing we can salvage from this article. --Scottie theNerd 03:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Come on guys, the article's a few weeks old. Besides, what's wrong with a game guide? It's not a walkthrough, and there are many similar articles on Resident Evil, Halo 2 etc etc. Pictures are not yet available due to te recency of this game, and we do not yet know the total number of weapons available (the article mentions 'around 250 weapons'). I say don't delete, but it's fair to say I'm biased. but I can tell you I've not copied info from other sources. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Racooon (talk • contribs) 09:33, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

• Comment - The issue is that the policy WP:NOT specifically prohibits creating game guides. It is a non-negotiable policy on Wikipedia, in place since day 1, and it lays out this restriction quite clearly. I'm not questioning your efforts, as you actually seem to have put a good deal of time into this, but unfortunately Wikipedia is not and will never be a place you can post game guides like this article. -- Y|yukichigai (_ramble argue ^check) 12:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete' and Transwiki'ing to strategywiki. I Would have went through with it but the import isn't working there as of now. But I have it saved so that I can do it when it's working again. Chris M. 16:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
