The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Deletion review nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Merge — 4 votes keep, 3 votes delete, 1 vote merge — as merge was suggested by other voters as a possible way forward, this article is to be merged as the first part of list of Megaman weapons — as was rightly pointed out, under WP:FICT this is a minor 'character'. As there is no, one suitable article to merge it with, it should go in a list with other such objects. --Gareth Hughes 21:15, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep--I'd say merge, but it appears there would be many potential merge targets, and the material seems more appropriate here. Meelar (talk) 18:02, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, I'm the one who started on the article. I thought a lot of the fictional sword links were missing, so I decided to fill them in, starting with this article... And I'm still working on it, and I plan to merge it with the Megaman Zero and X articles respectively. I mean we can have an article on Buster sword and Ragnorok, but no Z-saber? Please reconsider with keeping this article. Thank you. MegamanZero 18:26 16 October 2005

This absolutely reads like a copyvio. At best an essayish ode to the topic rather than an encyclopedia entry. Marskell 08:35, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Delete. I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but this seems a suitable candidate for deletion - this is a POV essay in the first person, not an encyclopedia article. Colonel Tom 00:08, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Sonic the Hedgehog characters who have died

edit

There's already a Category:Sonic the Hedgehog characters, which points to articles on the characters, including what happened to them. Most of the entries are either robots (in which case their inclusion in such a list is questionable) or are marked as possibly still being alive or might be making appearances in future Sonic games. --Jtalledo (talk) 00:59, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

You are right...but still NO! This article cleary gives out details, through Sonic Titles timeline. You can see/tell from "sonic R" characters that are dead, from past games. althouhg it needs more work, because it looks like a "Stub" to me. Sonic The Hedgehog Characters is also good, I like the way the contents is laid out, but There is a difference,. Sonic The Hedgehog characters that have died & Sonic The Hedgehog Charcaters, if this articles is much improve, it will be worth it to stay This article explains it all, but with less details, it makes this article look like cheap I don't know if it is a delete: Yes or No: I will say No...Waiting for others, for their thoughts >x<ino 01:11, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Transfer information to the respective character articles, if it is not there already, then delete the list. Saberwyn 01:38, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually, no. We need an article on Gallo-Iberian languages, one on Emperor Muzong of Liao, one on J. William Stanton, and one on the Channel Fleet. But not one on all the characters that passed away in Sonic titles. Delete. Herostratus 22:07, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nominator. There's no real need for a page like this -- it's actually a category, and one of dubious utility. --FreelanceWizard 09:58, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, a category for Sonic the Hedgehog characters is fine, but this is bordering on fancruft. — JIP | Talk 10:42, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Ok if you want to delete it Fine! But the Sonic The Hedgehog characters needs more improvment >x<ino 15:07, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, it's not like it hurts anything by being here. You might say there's no reason to have it because the info is in the character articles, but there's no reason not to have it either. Here, the info is all brought together, and besides, other characters might die in future games. If you aren't interested in what it has to say, just don't read it, don't delete it and ruin it for others who are interested. I've said it before and I'll say it again, do deletionists want to read the entire encyclopedia? Yeltensic42.618 17:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
    • No, they don't and who says they do? Just because an article doesn't "hurt anything" doesn't make it something that should be included on Wikipedia. You could argue the same thing for practically every article that goes through afd. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. There's nothing preventing you from making the list elsewhere. --Jtalledo (talk) 17:50, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
      • No, you can't argue that for evey article on afd. If it's a hoax, a chunk of garbled gibberish nonsense, a vanity page for some loser like me (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris bensko, not one of my finer moments), an attack page, an ad, or original research, then bring down the 16-ton weight. Otherwise, there's no real need to delete it. Yeltensic42.618 22:49, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
        • Ah, but they're not "hurting anything by being there". Which, by your logic, should prevent them from being deleted. --Apostrophe 19:12, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
          • Yes, they are. Attack pages are a form of trolling; original research is, for good reason, against Wikipedia policy; hoax articles, by definition, are full of lies; ads, vanity pages for losers like me, and garbled gibberish tarnish Wikipedia when people do random article searches and find it. This article is not a troll page; it is not original research, all the information is from verifiable sources; it is not a hoax; it is not an ad for the games, a string of garbled gibberish, or a vanity page about the contributor, nor does it tarnish Wikipedia in any other way. Yes, it covers information that can be found in other articles, but here it brings it all together. True, few people will be looking for it, but you'd be surprised at some of the things people want to find out. By its very nature, Wikipedia has plenty of room for minor or obscure topics not covered in the Britannica...topics like this. If you are not interested in the topic, just don't read the article. There may be others who want to see what it has to say. Yeltensic42.618 22:36, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

You have written a lot about 18th century British literature, and I'm sure characters die in works you've written about; how are bytes any different from ink?

Fancruft means crappy blather articles written by hardcore fans of the subject with excessively detailed information (they also have names for sub-genres like gamecruft, bloggercruft, and even Simpsons-cruft). As this article is not especially crappily written and is not excessively detailed (it just has the simple info of which characters have died), it really isn't fancruft. Yeltensic42.618 00:25, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Dschor with an issue like userboxes sometimes you have pick your battles. We will never get everyone to agree to allow all userboxes and we will never agree to having them all destroyed. The best argument, in a situation like this, attempts to find a middle ground. We should concentrate our efforts to save the important boxes that contain political expressions and idealogies. Userboxes like this only serve to further polarise everyone.--God of War 21:29, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

The fact that it can be speedied and kept deleted demonstrates that there is censorship in user space, and that it is not based on anything aside from the bias and prejudice of editors. I have chosen this battle very carefully, and would not be defending this userbox if I did not feel that it is a perfect example of why the deletionists are wrong. --Dschor 21:46, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Oh, Keep deleted. This template is slanderous in the clearest sense of the word. -ZeroTalk 21:50, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Actually, it is clearly not slanderous, in any sense of the word. This deletion, however, has led many editors to slander the creator of the template - but the template itself remains NPOV, factual, and helpful. --Dschor 22:00, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep deleted. This is an encyclopedia; I believe this template to be out of place here. — Knowledge Seeker দ 21:58, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Delete. PLEASE...keep this same old template deleted. Why do we need so many pointless userboxes that upset people and contribute nothing. Enough is enough. This just another WP:POINT vilation. This is not even funny.Voice of AllT|@|ESP 22:03, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep deleted - If this isn't a valid CSD T1 then nothing is. --- Charles Stewart(talk) 22:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
    • We can't use CSD T1 yet (as Jimbo asked us not to), but this template is polarizing nonsense. Ask Brion to take the edits off the database. Titoxd(?!? - help us) 23:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Undelete - although this appears doomed due to vote stacking and intolerance. --Dschor 23:22, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep deleted valid CSD. --FloNight 23:30, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
  • See above. This drv is full of folks who simply dislike userboxes, and who recognize that few wikipedians will go out on a limb to prevent the deletion of less popular templates. This userbox would be perfect for a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pedophilia, and really has no offensive content at all. This is an example of improper use of speedy deletion. Remember Speedy Deletion is not a Toy. --Dschor 23:46, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
