[edit] Giant Red Seasnake

A VfD notice was added to this article on June 1 but the nomination was not completed. Article seems to be about some sort of monster in a game. Does not establish notability, or even context. — Gwalla | Talk 3 July 2005 02:23 (UTC)

• It's Yu-Gi-Oh fancruft. Weapons that are neither used by any real-life people (e.g. any military weapon) nor bear significant notability in the work in which they appear (e.g. Excalibur) do not deserve their own articles... maybe a mere mention in some sort of "This is what all the weapons are" list. I'd say that writing an article on this is like writing an article on the "battle muffin" in the Neopets Battledome (and by the way, Battledome redirects to Neopets, as it should, rather than getting its own article). Having such ridiculous detail on animecruft topics when compared to the amount of detail we give to significant historical figures (pre-20thC) is probably one of the things that causes academics to have a poorer opinion of our project than it deserves. Strong delete. --Idont Havaname 3 July 2005 04:02 (UTC)
  • Well improve those articles then! Sonic Mew July 3, 2005 08:00 (UTC)
• Delete Individual Yu-Gi-Oh cards (or any other game's cards) should not be allowed separate articles. — unsigned vote by Joelr31 (talk · contribs)
• I have seen a number of these articles recently. A Merge may work. Sonic Mew July 3, 2005 08:00 (UTC)

• See this category: Yu-gi-oh! cards. Shall we be deleting all of these then? Merge with other individual card pages in a new or existing page. --Alex12 3 3 July 2005 09:35 (UTC)
• Delete: Merging every card into a big table works for me. Merging all the items to one big list also works. No, I do not think the information in any individual article like this is sufficiently difficult, obscure, or useful to put the article into the merge queue. Geogre 3 July 2005 13:07 (UTC)
• Merge. A list of minor parts of Yu-Gi-Oh is quite acceptable. --Maru 3 July 2005 21:36 (UTC)

• Merge, WP:FICT. Radiant_>|< July 4, 2005 09:10 (UTC)
• Delete Whilst I regularly contribute to Yu-Gi-Oh!-related entries on Wikipedia, this card is neither important OR contributed majorly to any storyline. DrachenFyre July 4, 2005 18:51 (UTC)
• Delete too many of them.  Grue  5 July 2005 20:09 (UTC)
