[edit] Sniper (Archer)

No potential to become encyclopedic. It's hard to tell from the poor stub text, but this is about the name of a character class in Fire Emblem game. This will never be a full article; there's no information to add. --A D Monroe III 14:48, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I don't see how this could redirect to Sniper. This article is about a character class in a medieval-fantasy game -- no one looking for that is helped by reading about high-powered rifles, terrorism and SWAT teams. Maybe if we had a Fire Emblem character class article, but there's nothing like that available. --A D Monroe III 23:45, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It should be redirected because Sniper (Archer) is really just a subcatagory of sniper. People looking for information on Fire Emblem probably wouldn't look under this name. If you absolutely wanted an article on this, it would probably go under Sniper (Fire Emblem). Although I personally feel this information would work better as part of the Fire Emblem article.

Sniper (Archer) is a subcategory of Archer in Fire Emblem, not Sniper. The article is misnamed, mis-capitalized, and ambiguous. No one is going to search for this name, no one is going to link to this name, and there's no Fire Emblem articles to direct it to, other than Fire Emblem itself. Please, there's nothing to preserve here; let's just drop it and move on. --A D Monroe III 23:40, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I agree with A D Monroe III; this would be a useless redirect. —Korath (Talk) 04:04, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, agree with Monroe. - SimonP 06:20, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
