Combine Forces

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested PROD. While notability of this part of ak MMORPG may be questioned, it seems that, because of the lack of any verifiable sources and the tone of the lead, this article consists of original research, hence failing What Wikipedia is not. MuZemike (talk) 04:42, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Point of fact: it is a First Person Shooter, not an MMO. Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate information.  This is a list of baddies in HL2, none of which has a speaking role.  Most of them are vehicles of some sort.  Transwiki to some HL wiki and delete. Protonk (talk) 15:31, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * This is a combination of the preexisting List of humanoid and synthetic Combine in Half-Life 2 and the previously deleted List of Combine combat technology in Half-Life 2. Looking through User:Mega Sean 45's edit history, this is only his most recent attempt to try and recreate the latter in some way, so explaining to him why it was deleted in the first place may be appropriate. Regardless, as this is a somewhat plausible search term, redirect to Combine (Half-Life). ~SnapperTo 19:09, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. Unfortunately, I do not see this as any grounds of speedy deletion. MuZemike (talk) 01:59, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, as said, lacking notability, coverage in reliable, secondary sources, and giving rather undue weight to this aspect of the game. The Combine may well be notable (I'm planning to revamp it in the future so it displays such notability), full lists of every unit, little piece of technology and what-not is not. By any chance, is it too late to add List of Combine non-combat technology in Half-Life 2 (which goes as far as listing a door as technology, you couldn't get much more indiscriminate if you tried) and List of humanoid and synthetic Combine in Half-Life 2 as they are very closely related subjects—one of which covers many of the same NPCs—and they display the same complete lack of any notability or verifiability save from playing the game. All of this exists in some similar form (ie in individual articles) over at Combine overwiki anyway. -- Sabre (talk) 18:20, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete for a failure to meet our WP:N guideline, since this topic lacks reliable third party sources. I might put to the nominator the possibility of nominating List of Combine non-combat technology in Half-Life 2 and List of humanoid and synthetic Combine in Half-Life 2 which only has primary/gameguide sourcing. But I leave that to the nominator's judgment. Randomran (talk) 21:55, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
