Wikipedia is not a game guide. Article is a how-to or tutorial for City of Heroes UnfriendlyFire (talk) 01:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Nominating these other articles because they fall under the same scope as being game guides:


 * Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game deletions. UnfriendlyFire (talk) 01:19, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete clear delete of this page as a game guide; merge the other two pages. JJL (talk) 01:27, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia is not a game guide. Lankiveil (complaints 03:05, 26 January 2008 (UTC).
 * Delete - One of the few WP:NOT-based arguments that I actually agree with: this really is reference material detailed enough to be instructions. Useful stuff, but not for here. —Quasirandom (talk) 04:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a game guide. GameFAQs is a better place for something like this Doc Strange (talk) 15:55, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge In creating this article, whoever made it also removed the relevant sections from the City of Heroes article. It pains me to say this, but I don't think it should be this detailed - but it should certianly be put back in the main article, albeit in a form more appropriate for Wikipedia. Even though the character creation is very notable as being the most customizable in an MMO, it only warrants a mention for being so - it does NOT warrant it's very own article. -Skorpus McGee (talk) 19:27, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Do not merge I'm not going to !vote on keep or delete, but IMHO merging this stuff back into the main CoH article is a very bad idea. That article is quite big and cluttered as it is.  This stuff was split out many moons ago to help clean up the main article.  Merging the information back would be a major step backwards for the main article, IMHO. - TexasAndroid (talk) 15:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Much as I love City of Heroes, I don't see anything in those very long articles that warrants their existence. The short paragraphs in the main article could be expanded a wee little bit (it doesn't mention just how customisable the costume creator is, for example) but not that much.

 * Merge We do not need guides on what the game options are, but the game has been noted in many sources for the flexibility of the character creation. For that reason alone, I think parts of this should be salvaged into the main articles. I love COH/COV. I have played since beta. I still don't think that these articles stand on their own.
