Talk:Infinity Blade/Archive 1

Merge proposal
It is hard to argue with the editor that proposed this merge if they haven't even bothered to explain why they think it should be merged. I don't think the Infinity Blade: Awakening article should be merged with the Infinity Blade article because they are separate entities with references specific to the novella. Infinity Blade 2 will have its own article when it is released (possibly even before then), so how is this different? No merge -- Spidey 104  14:08, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes these pages should be merged. Infinity Blade is becoming a series now, bigger than most people probably anticipated at first. There are now going to be 2 games and this book, most likely with more books to follow. I think there should be an Infinity Blade article with headings for each game and the book. It can be organized and managed from one page, I think that it is a good idea. Yes Merge Eric Herrera (talk) 02:21, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

No actually, and I will leave my previous post for discussion purposes, I think they should not be merged a page "Infinity Blade Series" should be made with both games and the book in it. Each should have it's own page though but with smaller articles of each within a page. I don't know what they are called sub-categories(?) anyway No Merge Eric Herrera (talk) 02:29, 18 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with Eric Herrera that a "Infinity Blade series" page would be useful. It would be similar to Pirates of the Caribbean (film series) with links to the articles about the individual entries and that "series" article focusing on the connections between them. (Obviously I still say no to the merge.) Spidey  104  13:56, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

It has now been over a month without any additional discussion. Currently there the votes are 2 against the merge and 0 for the merge. I'm removing the merge proposal template from both articles because there does not seem to be any support, currently, for the merge. ''' Sp id ey  104  14:37, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Original research?

 * Two of [the game’s expansions] received coverage in the gaming press, which is unusual for an iOS title.

I flagged this with a citation needed—is this OR, or has someone actually called it unusual? —Frungi (talk) 06:52, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No idea. It's been in the page for months, and I just left it when I reorganized/rewrote the gameplay and expansions sections yesterday. When I get to the reception section, I'll drop or keep it depending on what sources I find. -- Pres N  16:17, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Pocket Gamer
re: this edit, I'm looking at WP:ITALICS, which says:

Also the site's WP article uses italics. I'd normally convert the other sites but their articles didn't use italics, so I stuck with the article's consensus. czar ♔  02:42, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Pretty much no website gets put in italics unless it's magazine-style, no matter what ITALICS says; Pocket Gamer makes no such reference but the image there talks about an "edition", so I'll defer to the article's italicization and assume it's just poorly written. -- Pres N  21:54, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

TFA request
FYI, I have nominated this article for today's featured article: Today's featured article/requests sst✈discuss 05:18, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Genre
There's a contradiction here regarding this game's genre: the lead says it's a fighting game but the infobox says action RPG. Brutannica (talk) 01:22, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
 * They now both say both; it's a fighting game with RPG elements. -- Pres N  17:45, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Infinity Blade: Redemption and Infinity Blade: Awakening
Insufficient secondary sources for this article to stand on its own. I'd normally suggest a separate article for the series, but I think the first game's "sequels" section could be renamed "legacy" or "series" and cover everything adequately there (unless someone finds sources dedicated to discussion of the series as a whole). czar 04:38, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed with both; they're notable (entirely because Sanderson was the author) but there's not really any sources (no one reviews tie-in novellas for mobile games), so they can come in here. Also agree with renaming to "Legacy". Since this is the TFA, I've removed the merge tag from the article just for today; I'll re-add it afterwards. -- Pres N  06:19, 9 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Support. Even though I was a big part of the initial writing of the Infinity Blade: Awakening article I support this merge, because both articles about the novellas have mostly become plot dumps that are unnecessary. Both articles have good references, particularly Awakening, about the production of the novellas, so please be sure those are merged over. Spidey  104  16:29, 10 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Support merge. --The1337gamer (talk) 14:48, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Went ahead and merged them in- they didn't have much that wasn't here besides the plot summary, so I just cut that way down and added it. -- Pres N  16:02, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
