[edit] Neopian Times

Neopian Times (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Pure unsourced gamecruft that is only of interest to members of Neopets who play the game, and Wikipedia is NOT a game guide. I can't even figure out where half this "information" about Neopets member newspaper comes from, and most seems to be pure WP:OR and probably made up. No real notability outside of Neopets. Send it to a Neopets wikia or something, but it does not belong on Wikipedia. Collectonian (talk) 23:43, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete, one of the biggest cruft magnets I've ever seen. As a Neopets user, I agree that there is a bit of notability to the Neopian Times within Neopets proper, but none whatsoever outside of Neopia. Wikipedia is not a game guide.

  • Delete per TTN, hits are contained in blogs, neopets pages and dedicated fansites. Hits on reliable gaming sites are restricted to forums and/or FAQs.--Lenticel (talk) 04:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. recommend Transwiki to Neopets wikia as well since the wikia version isn't good and the article will be deleted anyway. note that transwiki is compatible with delete.--Lenticel (talk) 06:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
  • As a member, I can (unofficially) vouch for most if not all of the content here, especially since I myself am a member of the NTWF. So...not made up.

As for relevance on Wikipedia...eh, I'd agree, but I'd like to see this FIRMLY ESTABLISHED on a Neopets Wiki first before it's deleted. This is much more up-to-date than other guides, like the petpage that's linked to. In essence, it's not harming anyone or anything...concentrate on other articles?

  • Delete game-guide material without reliable sources. No objection to transwiki, but definitely should not be kept while we wait for someone to transwiki it (not sure if that's what the above user is suggesting or not) Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Pretty much, that's what I said.

I think this is a decent article and would not want to lose it before it's transwikied...(if that's a word). Michelle (talk) 02:40, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
