[edit] GTA LCS Cheat Device

This doesn't appear to merit an article of its own but should surely be merged with the parent article File Éireann 21:35, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Response from mynameisJayden

If the goal of Wikipedia is to be as detailed as possible, then isn't it better that this be turned into a stub and be as detailed as possible? It could elaborate on how the application works, and therefore inspire more homebrews. The topic of how the Cheat Device works (through binary and commands) is in it's own a topic that could be better fleshed out. While I agree that this could be merged with the Liberty City Stories topic, I believe that many details are important and could only be fleshed out if given their own space. These details include:

• Each version, and the changes made
• Installation
• The features
  • Intent of the feature
  • Instructions on how to use that feature
  • Any bugs that exist, need to be corrected, or have been corrected (status)
  • Use of the feature other than intended
• How the programming works
  • HEX
  • Functions

In conclusions, it is important that each subject of Wikipedia be as detailed and as clear as possible. If this article were merged, it would lose focus on the above details, which are important to those interested. Thankyou, --Jayden 22:00, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete And make a mention of the thing in the Grand Theft Auto game article Ruby 22:26, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Condense to a maximum of one paragraph and merge to GTA: Liberty City Stories. It's worth a mention, but the cheat device is simply a trainer but the cheat device is generally a trainer (with the addition of video and screenshot capture options), and thus doesn't merit an article. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 14:07, 14 February 2006 (UTC) ╫

• Condense and Merge into parent article. OhNoitsJamie^Talk 23:34, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete the linked web site already covers versions, and should cover the remaining concerns as outlined in the response above, and wikipedia is not bugzilla. At the least it can be condensed to an overview and then merged as per nom. — Graibeard ^(talk) 00:00, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merged. I've merged what's neccesary into Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. Delete or keep as per consensus.
• Delete Not encyclopedic with that much detail and does not provide any value as a redirect. -- JamesTeterenko 04:08, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
