[edit] Vehicles in PlanetSide

Vehicles in PlanetSide (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unsourced game guide stuffed full of fair use images. Ample precedent exists for deletion, see Special:Prefixindex/Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of vehicles. MER-C 08:46, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete although the pictures look great.:) Nomen NescioGnothi seauton 09:35, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki. It's certainly useful information, just not information that is currently acceptable on Wikipedia (as per WP:NOT). I'm not active in any PS wiki, but otherwise I'd do it myself. Ourai тʃс 13:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • I moved it to a gaming Wiki The article can be found here --Cs california 07:00, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Plenty of other sites where you can do stuff like that. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 13:46, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Do NOT Delete This is an important reference section for thousands of current and potential Planetside subscribers. No other like it exists on the Web. The content and context certainly DOES fit Wikipedia's scope and purpose. Another similar section is needed: Weapons in PlanetSide. --Mark Rizo 00:28, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment: The information may certainly be valuable, but not necessarily here on Wikipedia. There are other sites out there (even some wikis, such as this one) that certainly can use this information. But Wikipedia is not for reference sections like these. Ourai тʃс 05:17, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Precisely. Just because it's useful doesn't mean that it belongs on Wikipedia. --Scottie_theNerd 06:16, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game deletions. Marasmusine 15:28, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Delete - should only be kept if individual vehicles have references in popular culture or non-trivial articles in magazines, etc per WP:V and WP:N. I'm sure it could be an important reference for gamers, however Wikipedia is not a game guide (as stated above, WP:NOT). Marasmusine 17:56, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Information has not been published by any third party sources and could only be sourced to game guides, making it basically a game guide itself. No opposition to transwiki. Wickethewok 19:05, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Notice - A similar page has existed before. I had created the page PlanetSide Tanks and it was deleted. Next people added info about the PlanetSide vehicles to the main PlanetSide page. Until the info was split and moved to Vehicles in PlanetSide. I predict that this cycle of add-split-delete will repeat for as long as the game PlanetSide exists. Fvdham 13:46, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, it's like a weapons list, except with vehicles. WP is not a game guide. Axem Titanium 15:38, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
