[edit] Points Awarded in Harry Potter

• Delete. I do not believe that the article in question is sufficiently notable to merit inclusion in Wikipedia. — Mike • 04:08, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete too short to garner an article and not notable enough/spoiler to even exist on the page. Yanksox ^(talk) 04:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, pointless. Death Eater Dan (Muahaha) 05:56, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• *sigh* Delete, per nom and per my comment on Gurg. --Coredesat 10:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Seriously incomplete. Material is more appropriate for the Harry Potter Lexicon. The system itself is already convered in the article on the houses. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:46, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't care if I lose points and Hufflepuff loses the House Cup, this trivial article has got to go. --Deathphoenix ʕ 14:49, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Good grief--MichaelMaggs 19:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. You've got to be kidding, right? Anand 22:09, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Had I been able to see the finished product, however, my opinion might be different. (As far as I know, the information in the books is incomplete, making this impossible.) -- Northenglish (talk) -- 17:05, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
• Don't Delete My boyfriend and I were listening to HP6 on audiobook, and I wondered if there was a list somewhere online of all the points awarded and taken away in the Harry Potter books. We both independently thought of Wikipedia. It would be interesting to look through a list of all the points ever awarded and why, and where else on the web could you find something like this? I know it's seriously incomplete because I don't have the time to go through all 6 books by myself. It would be a monumental task for one person, but if 20 people each found 15 examples, it would all come together easily. And that is why I turned to Wikipedia. If you have to delete me I understand, but if you could help and find just a few examples, then I'm sure there would be lots of people who would appreciate the end result. Thanks for your consideration. <3 oatmealpie 14:52, 22 June 2006
• I know that, at heart, the Wikipedia is designed to create an encyclopedia for the people, a perfect shining image of the knowledge garnered without censorship and politic. But this theory makes the assumption that people are perfect, and that trick never works. Wikipedia, in my mind, should be for the amalgamation of as much documented information as possible, and House Cup Points just happens to fall under that category.
  If the rest of this community disagrees with me, you will delete this topic, and there's nothing I can do about that. All I can do is to attempt to persuade you otherwise. This slash and burn editing will lead only to the false elitism and ignorant hierarchy that plague online bulletin boards and chat rooms. If you have nothing to add to the topic, leave it alone and it will die of it's own accord, but don't actively call for deletion on no grounds better than "It's a silly topic".
  I encourage you all to remember that if it was a topic considered of vital importance that everyone can agree on, the Britannica already covers it.
  In the Half Blood Prince, Professor Slughorn awards Hermione a total of 30 points to Gryffindor for her knowledge of potions on the first day of class. — 70.162.10.119 22:44, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
  • This is this IP address' first edit.

• • It fills me with pride that you both independently thought of Wikipedia, but you probably should have thought of hp-lexicon.org. -- Northenglish (talk) -- 21:52, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

• Don't Delete: I've just spent time updating the page with information found on the Harry Potter Lexicon, so now the page is 100% up to date, though not exactly original. -- Kirstenweasley 26 June 2006
• Delete - even the totals of something like "Snape took X points from harry in all the books" as a single line in another article would just be trivia. Dalf | Talk 01:19, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
