[edit] U.M.N. Network

U.M.N. Network (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Delete. Completely and utterly fails WP:WEB and WP:N. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 15:54, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Keep or Revise. Talk: list of terms in Xenosaga and Talk: Xenosaga#Xenosaga List of Terms lead to this article's creation. The decision was made, in list of terms in Xenosaga, to transwiki the bulk of terms to U.M.N. Network because the game has multiple in-universe terms and definitions that cannot be easily described in an out of universe context, and do not meet the notability criteria of wikipedia. However, without the lump sum of those terms, the notable plot summary of the article Xenosaga (as well as Xenosaga 1, 2 and 3) cannot be well stated and therefore the lump sum of those terms is notable. Since Wikipedia is not a list of links, I created this article as a single link from wikipedia to the mutually agreed upon transwiki'd list of links. If you have a better solution for preserving the notable lump sum of terms, without creating a list of links on wikipedia, and redefining them in a real world universe, then by all means revise this article to do so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Markozeta (talk • contribs) 17:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete, no reliable sources or even a claim of notability. Blast Ulna (talk) 17:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: does not meet general notability guideline of coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject itself. This simply isn't notable enough to be in wikipedia. Randomran (talk) 00:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Revise After much thought, I've come to the realization that the way the articles in Xenosaga have been done are acceptable as they are, with a simple link to U.M.N. This article is not needed to perform the transwiki process and therefore should be deleted. However, I do believe that there needs some notification on the collection of Xenosaga pages on wikipedia that the majority of the links are to an external transwiki. I am unsure how to do this and would appreciate commentary on how to do so. In the meantime, delete this article while I begin that discussion on the relevant pages. --Markozeta (talk) 20:29, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete. Clean up notice placed on all related articles. WikiProject Video games is going to look into cleanup of Xenosaga articles. --Markozeta (talk) 15:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong delete, not a single source.--Otterathome (talk) 22:27, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
