[edit] Video game events and occurrences

Video game events and occurrences (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article is an amusing and interesting read but nevertheless fails WP:ATT and WP:OR. Related to a series of other gaming articles also up for deletion, I'm listing this one as being essentially the same problem under another name. The other four AfD's related to this are Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Video game plot and universe clichés, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Video game item clichés, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Video game settings and Role-playing game clichés. It would have been prefereable, I believe, to list these as a group due to the same concerns about citation and being original research but as the other debates are underway, I'm nominating this one now.

• Delete I enjoyed reading it, but I agree that it fails WP:ATT and WP:OR. I just don't see how it fits in here.Chunky Rice 18:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and Chunky Rice. o_O JuJube 20:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, but Transwiki well-written by the cesspool standards of video game literature, deserves a home somewhere - but not here. --Action Jackson IV 20:21, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete original research essay that fails WP:ATT. Nuttah68 21:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

• A clear delete, but hopefully a home for it can be found somewhere else - a video game forum, or something?Sarcasticidealist 00:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
• Strong delete as original research with hardly any sources or references to verify the claims made in the article.--TBCΦtalk? 02:10, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. Not that it matters at this point, but there are two references at the bottom of the article (they were hidden because no one had added <references/> to the "References" section. -- Black Falcon 02:21, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT#ESSAY. This article is basically an essay. An encyclopedic article on video game clichés can be written given available sources (there are plenty more besides the two at the bottom of the article, but this article doesn't even stay within the two sources provided. The original research can be removed, but as this article also fails WP:NOT#ESSAY, I see no point in trying to salvage it. -- Black Falcon 02:25, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
