Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Star Wars Chronicles (SW: JKA)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. Also, Wikipedia doesn't "have to delete every single mod or add-on or any kind of games realted [sic] expansions from all languages of wikipedia" based on this outcome. "Ask[ing] to have more than 1000 articles deleted from wikipedia" would likely lead to a WP:POINT block. — Scientizzle 18:08, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Stay I dont get it why this topic gets to be deleted, it is perfectly offical with no copyright violation, i demand to know why so i can fix it.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Selman akinci (talk • contribs) 13:28, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
    • I count at least two copyright violations in the picture alone, possibly four or more, and a bunch of trademark violations too! But hey, who's counting? Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:57, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Well, i looked at it again, there cxant be any copyright violations since i created the picture and i wrote the info....
      • Comment: That said, there doesn't appear to be any copyvio in the article itself. There are other arguments for deleting the article, but let's not confuse articles with media in them. - Revolving Bugbear (formerly Che Nuevara) 21:00, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
        • I know, but the statement that the article is "offical with no copyright violation" is misleading bordering on outright dishonest. This is not an offical LucasArts product, and the article does contain improper use of copyrighted works by way of the picture. Neither is a primary factor in this particular deletion, but to allow such comments to stand without refutation wouldn't be right either. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
          • I agree with you. I wasn't trying to rebut what you said, just clarify it. - Revolving Bugbear 17:29, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete first of all, video game mod patches are almost never notable. Second, this one isn't even complete yet(!) and third, it isn't even very far along, with the article claiming someone got the idea for it just a few weeks ago (!!!). Oh, yeah, and no reliable sources either. Finally, the text itself would never pass as an encyclopedia article, including gems such as "the most incredible and fantastic saga ever" and "Star Wars will never die, it will follow in us". And there was a great disturbance in the wiki, as if millions of editors rolled their eyes and snickered... Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:56, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Most computer game mods are not notable, the vast majority that start work are never finished. This is not finished, no where near. If it ever gets completed (as I said the majority don't) then reconsider based on third party coverage but until then it should be removed as advertising spam. Oh and kill that image as well, the copyright notice attached to it is bunk as they obviously don't have permission to take movie stills and promotional photos, splice them together and pass them off as non-copyrighted work.

    • Stay Well you know turkish, french, spanish wikipedia accept mods, i tought why not english, even though wikipedia is not trying to be like google this info doesnt hurt anyone, and main reaseon i put this here was to help people, i didnt put it just to have fun,... I really think it is peoples right to put in any appropirate info here. read this if you said delete Tukish, spanish, french, and some other languages accept this kind of content since wikipedia is one company even though it has diffrent moderators for diffrent languages english should accept too. WP:ALLORNOTHING so if you delete this article you have to delete every single mod or add-on or any kind of games realted expansions from all languages of wikipedia. If you delete this it is my right to ask to have more than 1000 articles deleted from wikipedia.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.64.62.51 (talk) 01:55, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Stay You say most mods or games are not notable..... but i believe an encylopedia needs to have many info an encylopedia shouldnt be just only science or jistory, it should have every subject, we should be able to look at it and find whatever information we need to find, there are games in wikipedia, why cant there be mods? This is a very countable information since many people search for mods in wikipedia too,... I believe wikipedia should be something like google, an ecylopedia with notable info but you should be able to find or write an info to help people regardless of the topic..
    • We've heard that one before... so often, in fact, that we have a specific page just to address it: see WP:ABOUTEVERYTHING. And no, we're not trying to be like Google, not by a long shot. Wikipedia is, by a wide margin, the most inclusive encyclopedia in human history... but we're definitely not trying to include absolutely everything: Wikipedia is still an encyclopedia, and Google is a web search engine.
