[edit] Treasure chest (video games)

Treasure chest (video games) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable original research. Miremare 00:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

It certainly isn't sourced, but I'm not sure OR is appropriate. I created the article because I kept wanting to link "treasure chest" in game articles. The same could be said of "monsters". Whether it links to its own article or a section of an article doesn't matter to me. -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle) ^(Talk) 17:58, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: NN, too broad anyways. It is plain OR. - Rjd0060 (talk) 00:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game deletions. Miremare 02:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Deserves a mention under video game, not a whole article. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 02:25, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Merge - Belongs with video game with WP:RS. Per Judgesurreal777, it does not warrants its own article. Wisdom89 (talk) 03:20, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm not even sure it needs to be mentioned in video game. I don't know if there's a more specific article to hold it. Pagrashtak 15:40, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to video game. -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle) ^(Talk) 17:58, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to Power-up, else delete. Not much more to be said than some video games have power-ups in treasure chests and some don't. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:10, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Power-up seems to be a more logical merger if there ever was one. Wisdom89 (talk) 21:21, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• Merge per Starblind. --Lenticel ^(talk) 23:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for lack of notability - what's next, an article on houses in video games? Come on. - Chardish (talk) 23:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: Too broad; would be far too difficult to establish notability of any kind. --Scottie_theNerd 23:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
• Condense (to two or three sentences), and Merge to Power-up, would fit nicely into the "Attaining power-ups" section. Fin©™ 17:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

  That sounds reasonable. If consensus is to merge, this is how it should be done. Pagrashtak 19:24, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Treasure chests in fiction are a well-worn cliche, that nature of this can be documented at the treasure chest article. If a treasure chest is more than a box with stuff in to any particular videogame and is genuinely of interest then it can be covered in the game's article. I'm not quite getting this power-up merge/redirect, surely treasure chests are as likely to contain equipment or currency in an RPG as they are to contain power-ups in action games?
