[edit] Battlefield 2 Awards

Game Guide Article. Prob deletion was removed by another user.--M8v2 04:32, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:27, 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 12:41, 23 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)
  • Delete as per nom. gamecruft Bwithh 04:02, 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 04:54, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete. Very crufty game guide, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information--TBCTaLk?!? 04:58, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per TBC, very crufty indeed. If you have the game, you'd already know this, or could read it in the manuals; if you don't have the game, the article lacks sufficient context. Cruft in other words. Angus McLellan (Talk) 08:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Cruft and per WP:NOT --Charlesknight 12:30, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Game guide, cruft, unencyclopedic, etc. --Calton | Talk 13:27, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete or transwiki first then do so. It's a list of requirements, by BF2 players for BF2 players. Contributors' time would be better spent getting the main article up to scratch and rising through the ratings then trying to list info far above and beyond WP's remit.

  • Keep This article does not classify as a game guide becuase it has no helpful hints. It merely shows what the rewards are when a player has reached the levels on their own. Some of the other articles up for deletion are game guides, such as the articles with the maps. Those articles do clearly provide hints. Espiro 8:50, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delte. Helpful hints are not the only thing listed in game guides. Stuff like awards, requirements, etc. are game guide material. Hbdragon88 05:50, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • KEEP What the fuck is with m8v2 and his hate for battlefield 2 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Badhand (talk • contribs) .
No need to insulting about it. Game-guide articles like these get cut from WP sooner or later anyway, the more there are floating around the more other contributors think it's OK to make more - more time wasted. Better to give WP readers a concise article stating the facts then replicate what's on countless game-guides. QuagmireDog 19:56, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as unreferenced and therefore failing the verifiability policy. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:19, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete As much as I like BF2, I don't see how this article is notable enough to be included in the Wikipedia. EvilCouch 07:00, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
