[edit] Deep strike

Contested Prod: "Non-encyclopedic article: Wikipedia is not a game guide, and this article goes into far too much detail on a relatively minor point in the Warhammer 40,000 game". Prod removed, with the reasoning that with 100s of 40K articles in existence, very minor ones should stay.

I'm bringing this to Afd, because the article is about a single game rule available for use by no more than two units from each army Codex. Of the hundreds of 40k articles on wikipedia, this is the only one I've found dealing with a special game rule; most of the articles deal with the organisations, characters, and events of the fictional universe the game is based around. In addition, Wikipedia IS NOT an instruction manual, for very very minor wargame rules or otherwise -- Saberwyn 21:04, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment: Isn't this an important aspect of the game? There seems to be a lot of google hits for something so minor [1]. Maybe it should be merged with the game. -- JJay 21:09, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
    • This section of rules takes up less space in the rulebook than it does on Wikipedia (2 small paragraphs at most), is only available to a select number of units, and is is only legal in certain forms of gameplay. -- Saberwyn 21:42, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per original prod. These are game instructions. --Lockley 21:20, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per original prod (which for reference, I put on). This is not an important part of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. --Pak21 22:23, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Per nom. We don't need articles on special rules - that is what the rule book is for Localzuk (talk) 19:16, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Slight merge to Warhammer 40K or delete. Stifle 11:46, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
