Transwiki to battlewiki.com TJ Spyke 22:18, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki if a gaming wiki wants it, else delete per above. Don't forget to delete all the related images. MER-C 05:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's a good idea, is there a Battlefied specific Wiki? If so, transwiki it there. If not, then to a general gaming Wiki. TJ Spyke 05:27, 23 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: Modern Combat, 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 03:14, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I also have to object to the term "no value". Surely it is easily conceivable that people would come to this article to look up this information, hence giving it value? What about the information in this article is "no value" that vast majority of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat is not? If all these articles get deleted should be begin a massive cull of all game articles for "no value" information? Remy B 03:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This article has no value. All the exact same info can be found on any gamesite.--M8v2 03:54, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. So can all information on Wikipedia - that is a necessity because original research is forbidden. Are you suggesting that any information on Wikipedia that can be accessed on other sites doesnt belong here? Remy B 03:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not all. I'm just saying that all the info in the article is a direct copy of info you would find on gamefaqs. Other info that is posted on wikipedia from other sites is atleast summarized and edited to a certain degree before it is added.--M8v2 04:22, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete extreme cruft, fails WP:FICT, sub-topic of game does little to serve the larger topic of game. Does not aid the reader's understanding of the over-all game, but instead lists awards as if it were a game manual or a collection of trivia. -- Ned Scott 04:44, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki if required and Redirect to Battlefield 2 article. Lists such as these are game guide material as they're exactly what you'd find on GameFAQs and of no relevance to those who don't play the game already. Until someone sits down and actually plays the game, how can they compare the difficulty in accomplishing these tasks?. Why would gaining 'insert award here' mean anything to them? Talking about these things, what kind of requirements players would need to pass etc. is useful information. FAQ-style lists spurting out all over the place add precious little to the information and drown readers with useless information. QuagmireDog 04:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Gameruft, unencyclopedic, etc. --Calton | Talk 13:30, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A single sentence explaining that there are awards for accomplishments (X kills under Y condition) in the Battlefield 2 article will suffice. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Battlefied 2: Modern Combat. —Wrathchild(talk) 12:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
