[edit] EVE Online Acronyms and Abbreviations
Wikipedia is not a collection of terms specific to a single game. I put prod on this awhile ago and it was removed; time for a full AfD, then. Cyde Weys 04:58, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as non-encyclopedic gamecruft. JIP | Talk 05:20, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete this is more of a FAQ than an article :: Colin Keigher 06:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per above, also didn't Eve hit that great zapper in the sky?--Tollwutig 18:45, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- According to MMOGChart.com it's gaining subscribers, actually (though from my own experience, it's not for everyone). At any rate, Delete this as above. -- Mithent 19:03, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- How about transwikiing it to Wikibooks, where game manuals and such can reside? Misza13 T C 20:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep If World of Warcraft terminology is acceptable, I don't see why this isn't. Landeyda 07:36, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep I agree with Landeyda, but I wouldn't be adverse to moving both articles and any other similar ones to Wikibooks. Sadmachine14 14:21, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - WoW has over 6 million subscribers (obviously anything made by blizzard means it's infinitely better than everything else, just ask a Korean), Eve doesn't. I don't particularly think Wikipedia should be a place for WoW slang, and Eve just isn't popular enough to warrant a gameguide dictionary. And I also dislike the dumping of random faq pages and strat guides to Wikibooks, I really don't think that was wikibook's original intention. - Hahnchen 17:12, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. I've only recently become interested (and engaged) in EVE, but I enjoy it; much more than say: World of Warcraft (which my wife plays) or Guild Wars (which a friend bought for me). That being said, this is not a qualifying article for Wikipedia (nor is World of Warcraft terminology for that matter, and whose deletion I would support) and would fall under "gamecruft" as JIP called it. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 23:10, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
