Please do not add WP:GAMECRUFT to the article. Per Wikipedia's Guidelines powers, etc should not be added to the article. Please take a look at points 3-6 below. --Teancum (talk) 14:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) Non-notable articles and spinouts: Avoid creating new articles on non-notable topics. A notable topic must receive significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. A smaller article should only be split from a larger topic if the new article would itself be notable.
 * Based on: Wikipedia's general notability guideline, and Wikipedia's guideline to avoiding unnecessary splits
 * 1) Numerous short articles: One large article usually provides better organization and context for a topic. Don't create multiple small articles when one larger compilation will do. The ideal article is neither too large nor too small.
 * Based on: Wikipedia's guideline on article size
 * 1) Detailed instructions: Saying that a character can jump, shoot, and drop bombs is helpful to understand the game, but avoid explaining button combinations or cheat codes.
 * Based on: Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, or textbook: Instruction manuals
 * 1) Strategy guides and walkthroughs: Basic strategy concepts are helpful to understand the game, but avoid details about how to solve puzzles and defeat certain foes.
 * Based on: Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, or textbook: Instruction manuals
 * 1) Excessive fictional details: A concise plot summary is appropriate to cover a notable game, character, or setting. Information beyond that is unnecessary and should be removed, as articles should focus on the real-world elements of a topic, such as creation and reception.
 * Based on: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information: Plot summaries, and Wikipedia's policy on undue weight
 * 1) Lists of gameplay items, weapons, or concepts. Specific point values, achievements and trophies, time-limits, levels, character moves, character weight classes, and so on are considered inappropriate. Sometimes a concise summary is appropriate if it is essential to understanding the game or its significance in the industry.
 * Based on: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information: Plot summaries, Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, or textbook: Instruction manuals, Wikipedia is not a directory and Wikipedia's policy on undue weight
 * 1) Cost: The cost of games, products, or subscriptions in any form should not be included in articles. This includes point values in online stores. Wikipedia is not a sales catalog.
 * Based on: Wikipedia is not a directory: Sales catalogs
 * 1) Rumors and speculation: Speculation about future games, or rumors about content within a game, should not be included.
 * Based on: Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, Wikipedia is not a repository of original research or original thought
 * 1) Exhaustive version histories: A list of every version/beta/patch of a game is inappropriate. Consider a summary of the game's development instead.
 * Based on: Wikipedia is not a directory, Wikipedia's guideline on lists
 * 1) Cast Lists: Generally speaking, a list of the actors providing voices for video game characters is not appropriate.  Exceptions to the rule would be games where the voice cast is particularly notable, such as actors reprising their roles in a video game translation of a movie, as in the case of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.  In this case the character cast follows the general standard for listing a movie cast, with minor adaptations for the game's article.  However, if characters are listed in a table, cast should not be listed separately. If actors/actresses must be added to the article, typically they should be done in the article prose, and generally in the development section.
