[edit] Weapons of Eve Online

Wikipedia is not a game guide. No other useful content otherwise. MER-C 11:56, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete or Merge to the main article of Eve Online. --Deenoe 12:25, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the article, it was originally split from EVE Online due to the article becoming too large, this article does require some cleaning up, however I don't feel it deserves deletion. -- Richard Slater (Talk to me!) 18:37, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. May need to be pared down a bit, but it was split off from the main article for good reason. If consensus is to delete, it might be more useful to merge some of the information back to the main article. The set of articles on EVE Online should be kept to a minimum though: Main article, spaceships, and perhaps weapons. I don't want to see the category getting as cluttered as Runescape is. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 20:37, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

  Whatever information that should be kept - ie, very little, and generally only as it relates to gameplay - can be merged back, but really, the rest of this can go. There's not really any need for a whole article on this. Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 11:19, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Zero external sources merits automatic deletion per WP:NOR. Also, is the policy that WP:NOT a game guide really so hard to understand? Sandstein 21:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. We simply don't need weapon lists. Daveydweeb (^chat/_patch) 11:18, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - Big chunk of original research, this is. Not encyclopedic. Wickethewok 21:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. It's fun to read, but that doesn't make the information notable or encyclopedic. Transwiki if there's an appropriate place to list this information, but Wikipedia isn't it. --Alan Au 09:33, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per past precedent of weapon lists. --- RockMFR 19:16, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep If you delete this people will add information back to original EVE Online article which will then become to long and will be requested to segment. One of the reasons for deleting this appears to be that Wikipedia is not a game guide. Re: WP:NOT a game guide, I'm not sure if eevrybody has actually have read the article in question but it doesn't in anyway give hints, tips or instructions (ie a guide) for playing the game. I do agree though that it does lack external sources which can be added if the article is kept. 12:54, 7 November 2006
  • It has stat tables. Stat tables. Garrett^Talk 21:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, WP:NOT instruction manual/indiscriminate collection. I've kept a copy at StrategyWiki:EVE Online/Weapons; if people want more indepth information just link to that. Garrett^Talk 21:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
