[edit] Halo 3 skulls

Halo 3 skulls (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unsourced article that may be original research. Also, Wikipedia is not a "how to" guide. Contested WP:PROD. Moonriddengirl 13:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. The article is in need of serious cleanup, which isn't cause for deletion. However, Original Research is. The author appears to discuss and analyze how to find these skulls. Even if, for the sake of argument, the skulls and the methods of obtaining them are notable (which they aren't), there aren't sources that say so - thus, it's WP:OR. The tone borders on the nonsensical, in that the another author angrily rebuts assertions on Youtube as to the accuracy of the method provided. Finally, the skulls are already referenced as a game mechanic in the Halo 3 article itself (see also Halo 3). That reference provides sufficient detail for what is, by all appearances, a non-notable game mechanic. A merge, in this instance, would not be of benefit.

  • Delete. The Halo 3 main page could do with a small section on the Skulls, but I don't there they are notable enough to have their own article with in-depth guides as to how find them. I don't believe WP:OR is very relevent as there are several guides on the internet that show you how to find these skulls. It doesn't cite references though. Regardless, delete as it is not notable and wikipedia is not a gameplay guide.Darkcraft 14:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
