[edit] Chimera (Resistance: Fall of Man)

Chimera (Resistance: Fall of Man) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Moved to gaming Wiki, the article can be found here. Also article is unsourced and is a List of Enemies in the game (similar to the deleted List of enemies in Duke Nukem or List of command & Conquer units). I am also in support of a merge but what happens to the images in the page? Cs california 10:28, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, per lack of reliable sources: "It is not explained in the game where the Chimera come from or what they really are."--Tikiwont 11:29, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, seems fine to me and is more than simply a list. Parent article is too large for this to be merged into. The lack of references can easily be dealt with and should not be used as an excuse to delete an article. —Xezbeth 11:41, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
The reason for deleting it is Wikipedia is not a game guide sadly. Thats why I move most article similar to this to a gaming wiki. This page is similar to pages such as Monster of DukeNukem 3D and those list of Command & Conquer units. But References to this article is useful so I suggest creating a link from the gaming wiki article to the Resistance page --Cs california 23:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as unencyclopedic trivia that is only of interest to players of the game and to nobody else. Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, or textbook. Should therefore be moved to another wiki, as has been done and deleted in accordance with these Video game wikiproject guidelines. Also fails notability. The game is notable, the creatures in the game are not and there are no references to indicate that they are. GDallimore (Talk) 12:12, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
    • (Heavily) Condense and Merge (change vote) Having gone over the main resistance article again, it appears that all discussion of the Chimera has been removed from that article, presumably because it was moved to this one. I therefore agree with Calgary (below) that this article should be [heavily] condensed and merged into that one. However, I still strongly maintain that it doesn't even come close to warranting it's own article. GDallimore (Talk) 10:12, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Condense and Merge with Resistance: Fall of Man. Maybe the bulk of theinformation is unneccessary, but I think at least a portion of it is significant enough to inclued in the afforementioned article. Calgary 19:29, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Game-related-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 01:59, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Condense and merge - Vital information for only a single game, so there really isn't any reason to decentralize the Resistance info at this point in time. Wickethewok 12:59, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
