Game guide article. Gives hints and locations of objects. No value--M8v2 04:53, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:27, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki to here if they want it, else delete. Wikipedia is not a game guide, crufty. Don't forget to delete all the related images. MER-C 12:46, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Very Strong Keep Definitely not a game guide. Notable. Not cruft. A valuable sub-section of Battlefield 2. --WikiCats 02:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not a game guide? Really? "Snipers that lay claymores can be devastating, as there is no way to disarm them if placed properly, and movement is limited throughout the walls." "If the PLA were to capture the Quan Fortress, the European Forces defending the Lao Tian Ye Road would have a difficult time defending the PLA from capturing it." "While parachuting in is more dangerous, it can also be the quickest route to the Fortress Village."
Strange new meaning of the phrase "definitely not" I was previously unaware of, since it is definitely, you know, a game guide. --Calton | Talk 13:27, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. This is an obvious case of misinterpretation of Wikipedia policy. We all agree that Wikipedia should not include game guides - that is, articles where there are instructions, hints, guides, tips, and other text where the article generally instructs the reader how to play the game. What Wikipedia is here for is to state facts and other reference information - and that is all this article does. It is also all the other articles do that this user has put up for deletion. I would really like to know what separates this article from any other game related article. How does this qualify as a game guide? If this article was merged into Battlefield 2, would that article also be a game guide? A LOT of articles are being put up for deletion by this user, and if they get deleted because of a complete misinterpretation of Wikipedia policy then a lot of work will be wasted. Please consider voting on the other AfD's that this user has decided to start (see here, here, here, here, here, here and here). Remy B 03:13, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I suggest you please assume good faith. After all, everyone has their own perspective on Wikipedia's policies so there isn't really a "right" or "wrong" interpretation. --TBCTaLk?!? 04:55, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nom. Clearly a game guide and also crufty. The article is about one game map and is full of advice about tactics for how to play on the map. Bwithh 04:00, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and redirect, main article seems to contain all relevant and encyclopedic information already, so there's no use in a merge. gamecruft, Wikipedia is not a game guide/manual. Even if a great deal of work has been put into it, it's simply a great amount of something that should not be on Wikipedia. -- Ned Scott 04:48, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Cruft and as per WP:NOT. --Charlesknight 12:32, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Game guide, cruft, unencyclopedic, etc. --Calton | Talk 13:27, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, per Calton's comments. This is textbook game-guide material. What on earth could a non-player possibly glean from this lot? How can this information be laid out in such a way to mean something? Where are the citations going to come from? GameFAQs? Sorry, but allowing this kind of material encourages others to do the same, resulting in more time wasted and more needless articles getting dragged to AFD.

'Delete extremeley detialed. Could just be listed in three bullet points. Maybe a sentence. Any more and the average reader will not care. Hbdragon88 05:49, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Game guidish. List of BF2 maps should have all the info. Unicyclopedia 05:33, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
