[edit] Earth's Special Forces

Mod with no assertion of notability. Delete as advertising and vanity. --InShaneee 02:21, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. The article started out about a TV show, and has evolved into this. I don't see either incarnation as being notable enough to be here. Kevin 02:31, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

While you may not see it as being 'notable enough,' the game during the last release was #3 on the Steam list of Half-Life engine games, second only to CounterStrike and Natural Selection, above Sven:Co-Op, The Specialists and HL2:Deathmatch, all of which have Wikipedia articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Sailoralea (talk • contribs)

  • Keep, clean-up, improve. 50,000 hits on google.Dlohcierekim 04:54, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge as a mod it belongs in an article on Half-Life engine games. As advertising, it is pretty sad. It doesn't even have a link to their site. I don't think it is vanity or advertising. Even so, it belongs merged into a more general article. Ted 15:31, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Where? There really isn't a more general article this can be put in. --InShaneee 16:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • If it can be cleaned up and improved significantly, then keep. Otherwise, delete. It seems very crufty to me as it stands now (but i could be biased as I hate dragonball). Of the Half-life mods that have articles linked, most of what I sampled were much more detailed than this, and several were quite in-depth, so there is precedent for an article such as this. -- stubblyhead | T/c 17:00, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as copyvio -- Most of the article was a direct copy from their website, and I've since removed it. The remainder is insufficient for an article. Night Gyr 21:26, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Clean up, improve, and expand. Beno1000 23:53, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, it has been greatly improved. This is a very popular mod and therefore should be allowed to stay. I dont see this as advertising or vanity. Its simply informing on the subject just like any other article. This now goes as in depth as any of the other Half-life mods that ive read, and therefore is just as notable -- Metal_Mario333
Depth of the article is not a criteria for deletion or inclusion. I could write ten pages about my neighbor's dog and it still wouldn't be worth including. Also, as it is, the information is mostly inappropriate game guide data like character stats and attacks. Night Gyr 07:04, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Look at most of the other half-life mods. All they talk about is weapons, types of gameplay etc. All "inappropriate game guide data." Besides, im not done with this article. I have a lot more to add.Metal_Mario333

  • Gut listyness and Merge . It's got some relevent information, but it's way too listy. Condense and merge with a relevent article. --Kunzite 01:17, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
