[edit] Team Fortress 2 classes

Team Fortress 2 classes (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is inappropriately detailed game guide content which violates WP:VG/GL. Specifically, [l]ists of mere statistics, items, or other minutiae are not acceptable in video game articles. Certainly this content does not merit its own article, and it should not be merged but rather deleted as it is not encyclopedic content. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.

Also, let me add that this is all from an unreleased title -- Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Andre (talk) 00:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
I suggest you start deleting the Halo associated pages for Covenant, etc. To quote another Wiki user:
“ I noticed that Pkaulf made an edit on May 17th citing "game guide material, doesn't belong on the article" that removed the whole classes section and all individual class information. The article now to me seems to tell me almost nothing about the game, it doesn't even tell me what the classes are, or how say, the spy works. How fluffy is this supposed to be? Seems like a huge change to the article without discussion. I also noticed another edit by Uber that cited "deleted unreferenced material" and yet what he removed was a paragraph full of cited stuff then he shot down Tom Edwards for reverting. The quality of this article is going downhill fast. Olivier Beaton 17:54, 23 May 2007 (UTC) ”
What the heck is Wikipedia GOOD for? Where does the encyclopedia part come in? Maybe you should take a brick bat to everything associated with American football and baseball, too. JAF1970 00:46, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unencylopedic game-guide-ish stuff. --- RockMFR 02:55, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Unencyclopedic, violates not a game guide and Not a crystal ball. Other crap existing should have no bearing on whether or not this article should be on wikipedia. DarkSaber2k 08:00, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep/Comment - I actually think that some of this information could form a valid sub article to Team Fortress 2, concerning the gameplay (maps & classes). It is a bit crystal ball right now, so I'd say save it in your userspace and come back to it when the thing is released. - hahnchen 23:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:48, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Unencyclopedic game-guide material. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:21, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • merge a short list back into Team Fortress 2. Some of the sub-bullets are pointless, but the different character classes are one of the most prominent elements of this game (at least, they were of Team Fortress) to the point of being genre-defining. That's not minutiae. — brighterorange (talk) 14:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
