Speedy deletion of Klabbers, J.H.G.
--Swentibold (talk) 16:23, 19 December 2008 (UTC)   OK, Delete Klabbers, J.H.G. A tag has been placed on Klabbers, J.H.G. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Game design rewrite
--Swentibold (talk) 16:27, 19 December 2008 (UTC)  I will rewrite that article. So, delete this one.

I had to revert your rewrite of game design. While it may have contained some valuable information, it wasn't a proper Wikipedia article, didn't use wikimarkup and didn't contain inline citation for sourcers (not required, but strongly encouraged). You should probably review Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Barring that, you may want to start by making small changes (corrections) to articles to see how they're organized and how to use Wiki markup. I left a message on the game design talk page. &mdash; Frecklefσσt | Talk 16:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Edits to Design article
I removed your edits to the design article because the article is not about any one specific design discipline. It's about design lessons and principles that apply to most disciplines of design. If we were to discuss every design discipline in detail, the article would be too long. Oicumayberight (talk) 18:27, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

--Swentibold (talk) 16:39, 19 December 2008 (UTC) The problem with this article is the gap between the title and the content. The scope of the content is digital game design, while excluding the design methods for non-computer games. The article is about one specific design discipline that is, digital game design. The title at the Design --> Applications page --> Game Design should read Digital game design. So, I would like to suggest to either adjusting the title, or adjusting the content of that article. Game design has a tradition, which is much older than recent advances in digital game design. Software engineers, engaged in digital game design should take notice.


 * This has been discussed before, probably a year back or so. We considered renaming the page "Video game design", but there was no one willing to write a "game design" article (about non-digital games).  So we just left it as it was since there was no content for a "game design" and almost every reference to "game design" in Wikipedia referred to video game design.


 * If you want to write a proper Wikipedia article about game design (and game design brief doesn't qualify), we can move the current content of game design to "video game design". But barring a proper "game design" article, it's going to stay as it is.


 * Lastly, insert your signature at the end of your posts, not the beginning. &mdash; Frecklefσσt | Talk 14:17, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Game Design Brief
I have nominated Game Design Brief, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Game Design Brief. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.  freshacconci  talk talk  12:10, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello! I just visited the deletion discussion for Game Design Brief. I want to thank you for writing an article like that. As you can see from Game design, this subject is poorly represented in wikipedia. I think that your article can probably do the most use merged into the main game design article and then more detail written into smaller distinct articles. I am glad to see someone interested in game design come aboard. If you like, you may want to join WikiProject Video games, a collection of users who work to improve video game coverage on wikipedia. If you need any help learning how to format material for wikipedia or how to do anything, don't hesitate to ask me (or just place the text Helpme on your talk page with a question below it). Thanks again and welcome to wikipedia. Protonk (talk) 21:40, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Game design brief
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Game design brief. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Game design brief. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:10, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
