[edit] Creep (Warcraft)

Creep (Warcraft) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is just a rehashing of a neologism, or a recently created word, and as this is wikipedia, not Wiktionary, it is not needed. As far as its article segments, they are just a regurgitation of gameplay mechanics from the Warcraft games. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:51, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete This is an unnecessary expansion of Warcraft III's own wording , quote: "The game introduces new units for each race and creeps, computer controlled units that are hostile to all players. Creeps guard key areas such as gold mines or neutral buildings and, when killed, provide experience points and special items to a player's hero. This encourages players to be aggressive instead of turtling." That's all that's needed.Someone another (talk) 06:55, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The nom sums it up quite well for me. I have nothing to add. Captain panda 13:21, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep This isn't just a new word, the adding of "Creeps" changed the way RTSs are played, as the article states, many other games incorporated creeps: Other games with creeps include the Spellforce series, The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth series, Dragonshard and Age of Empires 3. The 9.3 million World of Warcraft players know how fundamental creeps are to their gameplay as well. [1] On a tangent here... Many people are noting how delete crazy wikipedia has been lately. I hope this is a passing fad as it is not letting wikipedia realize its full potential. Spazm (talk) 18:41, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
People are "delete" crazy to rid wikipedia of unencyclopedic content that has latched itself onto the encyclopedia like a leech. With regard to this article, there would have to be many references to justify its notability, otherwise its notability extends just to Warcraft and the games that have copied its use of Creeps.
