[edit] Tick (FE)
not notable nonsense and not encyclopedic topic Gator1 19:16, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete per nomination. - Gator1 19:16, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Keep This page has relevance in explaining a term used in an online game. Furthermore, it may also later be broadened if other places use the same term when describing similar means of noting time in-game. I'm moving that this page be left and, if need be, placed a stub for further editing, but not deleted. Draggy 19:21, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Note, I've changed his bolded text from "Motion against deletion of this page" to "Keep" to help with readability. -Greg Asche (talk) 21:41, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- There is currently no official policy on notability. Cited from Wikipedia:Notability. Therefore notability is irrelevant to whether it should be deleted or not. Draggy 22:08, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
- Official policy or not, this article is not relevant to the world at large. It's an extremely specific term from a game that already has an article of its own that explains the term when describing the game mechanics. The topic doesn't require an article of its own; there's no way somebody's going to start typing "tick" rather than "Fantasy Empires" into the search box when searching for information about the game. Delete. -- Captain Disdain 00:33, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- It's very possible that someone might type tick instead of Fantasy Empires. Not only that, but I'm sure I've heard this term applied to other games online, I just couldn't cite you which ones at the moment, unfortunately. Draggy 02:42, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- Well, if somebody uses Wikipedia as a primary source of details about a game and refuses to use the game's name as a starting point, they get what they ask for. It's true that "tick" has been used as a measurement of time in other games (it's certainly been used in various pen-and-paper roleplaying games), but this article is specifically about Fantasy Empires. Its very title makes that clear. Even if you were to take a more general view of the suject, I'm not convinced that it deserves an article of its own. -- Captain Disdain 04:21, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- You might be surprised. I've picked up alot of info about games from browsing interconnected Wikipedia pages involving the game. Perhaps if nothing else, merge this article with the main article about FE or edit it into the main page instead of simply deleting it. I would suggest making it a sub-page except that if I understand correctly only certain things may have sub-pages? I'm not to clear on that. Draggy 09:03, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- But there's nothing to merge! Like I said, the FE article already contains all relevant information about the topic. -- Captain Disdain 10:43, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
