Talk:Custom-built PC

Article creation
I see we have a few articles already on the subject of custom build computers. Mine I hope s unique, and could be the base for the consolidation of the other articles:


 * Homebuilt Computers
 * System builder
 * Gaming PC

These articles are all related, and mine is a derivative of them, as well as expansion of them.

I hope that is can supersede, and combine as a new article as my Computer repair technician article did.--Ben414 06:03, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of article???
How can you try to delete an article that expands upon other articles it was suggested to be merged with. I really have an issue with that when other similar articles already exist.

A How to guide would have step 1, step 2, etc, and recommendations in depth. Mine just states different types of custom built machines.

Anyway, technically anything on wikipedia could technically be called a how to guide if it, intentionally or not, shows you how to do something.--Ben414 12:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Links??
Since when does one have to check with someone else about adding links to an article. Links allow an article to be expended past the bounds of of its parent site. Yes, excessive links would be an issue, but notwithstanding, 5 links would be a reasonable limit. --Ben414 15:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * IMHO, articles should be the authoritative resource and not require any external links, other than a singular link to the article subject's official page, if it exists. Articles such as this are at high risk of spamming with external links, so to be fair to all I think it is better redirect to DMOZ, which is a web directory, which WP is not.

 * Articles need to have sources, both internal and external to solidify their stances. An article with no sourcing to confirm its legitimacy may as well be fictional. 184.59.0.31 (talk) 20:06, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
