[edit] Ogre Battle classes

Appears to be a game guide and thus does not comply with WP:NOT. Possibly only of interest to a small population of enthusiastic fans. Combination 21:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep - Somebody appears to be following the series, it has a navigation box at the bottm, it is lengthy and possibly confusing. I have seem other video game articles though that have similar content. Not a strong keep because lack of references but could be cleaned up. Chris Kreider 21:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep This type of list/article (listicle?) is pretty common for videogame series. It needs to be cleaned up and made more encyclopedia-like, but not deleted.Koweja 22:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
    Comment - Actually a lot of lists are being nominated for deletion at the moment, and most of them are getting deleted as indiscriminated infor or game guides. The Kinslayer 08:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep cleanup per above, Derktar 00:03, 27 October 2006 (UTC).
  • Keep and cleanup, as per above.--TBCΦtalk? 06:27, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: AfD is not cleanup. If it looks like a game guide, tag it for cleanup or exorcize the unsuitable portion yourself. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 09:49, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment No, because I didn't nominate this for deletion, but looking at the article after it came to my attention, I believe it should be deleted for violating WP:NOT. If I want it deleted, then cleaning up the article is not my responsibility. The Kinslayer 10:35, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
    • CyberSkull, please read articles before voting. There is nothing here to clean up, and the only way to exorcize the unsuitable "portion" is to delete the entire article, because the whole thing is unsuitable. — Haeleth Talk 20:09, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or Transwiki this article is 100% gameguide and the games in the series are well covered. Because someone "follows the series", the article has a nav box, and that we have other un-removed game guides on Wikipedia are not reasons for keeping this article. The best option here is to move it to a gaming wiki or wiki books. This is not an encyclopedic topic per Wikipedia is not a game guide. --Kunzite 04:54, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, nothing to clean up because the whole article is a game guide and thus not an acceptable article per Wikipedia policy. — Haeleth Talk 20:09, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Wikipedia is most certainly NOT a game guide. Wickethewok 19:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, because this is what cleanup consists of here. At the risk of sounding repetitive, WP:NOT a game guide. Sandstein 06:23, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wow, this is a lot of work to make a game guide for a really obscure series. A game wiki could have this if they want, but it doesn't belong here. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 13:15, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. What separates the article in question from this World of Warcraft page? Ogre Battle is a highly-detailed game, but certain aspects of it remain consistant from game to game. Classes are one part of this. It certainly needs a good deal of clean-up, however. Cookie3 20:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a game guide and this game is pretty unknown (to me anyway) as well. --Hydraton31 20:52, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NOT. Dekimasu 06:52, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete because it's not encyclopedic; it's a guide. jesup 04:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
