[edit] Stop 'N' Swop

Stop 'N' Swop (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

An unfinished mode in a single game that's only accessible through the use of in-game codes, and it was referenced in a sequel. No reason for it to have an article. Strong delete. A Link to the Past (talk) 22:44, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

  • The reason this exists (as far as I know) is that a merge did not make sense as there were multiple targets it could have been merged to and it didn't make sense to have the same information in two or three different places. So, now that it is here, I guess it should be merged and redirected to Banjo-Kazooie, if not kept. --- RockMFR 22:52, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect To the games main page.--Dacium 22:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into Banjo-Kazooie or Rare (company). --WikidSmaht (talk) 22:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
I think merging into Banjo-Kazooie is the better option. The company page does not have much info on game content so this would be out of place there. --70.48.173.6 23:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
There is a Banjo-Kazooie series page, so. - A Link to the Past (talk) 23:11, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. A number of Wikipedia articles refer to Stop 'N' Swop as a distinct entity. The feature has also been referenced in major publications, making it notable in its own right. BTW, it was also mentioned in Grabbed by the Ghoulies as well as the two Banjo games. Just64helpin 01:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
So two cameos and one mode that's not meant to be accessed. If Minus World doesn't warrant an article - considered to be one of the greatest secrets in gaming - then Stop 'N' Swop shouldn't, either. - A Link to the Past (talk) 06:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Banjo-Kazooie, though while it is full of speculation and such it still needs a place so Banjo-Kazooie is the best article to put it in. -- DeLMrcs 22:21, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I followed a link from Joystiq to this page, which shows that it merits its own entry. Tetzcatlipoca 20:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. StayinAnon 21:53, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Joystiq mentioning something in a game does not make it notable. They're a gaming site mentioning a gaming subject. I bet Joystiq also mentioned a bunch of other things that don't warrant articles. - A Link to the Past (talk) 22:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Banjo-Kazooie (series). I could live with keeping the article as-is, as well. Wilkie2000 22:20, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
