[edit] Minmatar

This is a cruft-heavy article that almost completely duplicates information in some of the other, better-written articles about EVE Online. As one of the major contributors to the better EVE Online articles, I think the EVE Online category as a whole should stay small, and that articles aren't needed about each of the major races... because then we'll get articles on the bloodlines... then the ship classes... then the individual ships... and so on. I am also nominating Amarr with this. — Dark Shikari talk/contribs 14:07, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep I, for one, found this article useful and informative if not wholly accurate. I also think that using the word "cruft" in an opening line of a thought is shooting yourself in the foot. I'd prefer an expansion and revision of the article or a merge with the main EVE article, but an outright deletion does not serve a useful purpose. Bulbous 01:36, 14 October 2006 (UTC)Bulbous
    • But the main article already has nearly all the information in this article. I didn't think there was much to merge, as the main article already has summaries of each race's history, and the Spaceships of EVE Online article has listings of all the ships of each race also. It seems completely redundant. — Dark Shikari talk/contribs 12:25, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
  • (SMerge &) Redirect both to EVE Online, it's better covered there. --Eivindt@c 04:11, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect per nom. Vectro 21:29, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
