Construction (RuneScape)
Per Articles for deletion/Mining (RuneScape) and Articles for deletion/Fishing (RuneScape), should be deleted and transwikied to the article on the RuneScape wiki. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:49, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge anything important to RuneScape skills--TBC TaLk?!? 08:53, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge whatever to RuneScape skills, delete the rest. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 09:30, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * RuneScape skills already has a fully fleshed-out section on construction. There's nothing here that can be sensibly merged.  And there's almost never a reason to redirect from a disambiguated title, especially a specific disambiguation like (RuneScape) as opposed to a general one like (author).  Wikipedia is not a game guide.  Delete. &mdash;Lamentation ( 10:14, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep It's got a lot of information and I feel that the RuneScape Skills page is already jumbled.--Cool Spy0 19:37, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Note that the user only edits RuneScape articles.
 * Merge to RuneScape Skills. Any stuff already a part of Skills will have to be deleted =(.--Death motor 20:24, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep A lot of other skills have their own page, and this skill is quite a large one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.160.14 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete - there is already an article with more content on the RuneScape Wikia. --Ixfd64 22:06, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep It is too large to merge with runescape skills. Englishrose 07:50, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete - WP:NOT a game guide. The facts that 'it's too big to merge' should never be carte blanche for an article that violates one of the main principles of Wikipedia to be permitted.  As the article already has been merged into RuneScape Skills, any and all merge votes should be considered to be deletes.  Proto ///  type  11:52, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment That's a tad misleading, the skills articles gives a brief summary of construction, it is not a merge, it points to construction as the "main article". Englishrose 14:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per Lamentation Percy Snoodle 15:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep New skill, more sophisticated than prev. skills and it has MUCH more to come, can't fit in RuneScape. Not game-guidey in the least, simply defines sections of one's potential house. Finally, it has been decided to temportally keep the RS wiki and this disconnected. I can see mining/fishing/Woodcutting going as reasonable, because they follow one procedure for every action. This skill is varied in methods, and is much more complex then those. p00rleno 00:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Runescape skills, this Construction skill included, have enough information to justify having an article on Wikipedia because of the amount of players of Runescape that could benefit from the information featured within -- Robbie 03:28, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Is an important skill in RuneScape, and there is too much information to merge into the RuneScape article. It needs a bit of a minor clean-up but is not overly like a game guide - • The Giant Puffin •  07:49, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep a much more complex and important skill than any previous, contains information not suited to RuneScape article or general skills article Nathan M 08:19, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Merge into RuneScape skills; why do we have a separate article for an individual skill? And why is Construction so special that it gets its own article? It should be cut down and linked to official RuneScape.com pages whilst we're at it.  CaptainVindaloo t c e 14:17, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Surely the Runescape Skills page is far to big to have all of the separate skills pages merged into it? The skills page should be left for a more vague overlook, and the separate pages kept for more intricate details about the skill. I know that Wikipedia is not a game guide, but these pages are not necessarily part of a a game guide, more an encycopaedic information source. //  Red Hot Radiators  talk 15:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Keep for all the reasons above. Biggest addition to the game since I don't know when.  Much too large and important to merge.  Has its own history of delay and controversy.  Keep, keep, keep.  Please.  Xela Yrag 17:29, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * IMO, Deletion void... The afd lister is seeming to go for all RuneSCape articles, one by one. This is void as a deletion on the whole lot got debated and got decided to be kept. J.J.Sagnella 17:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I don't know how anybody would say that, given that it was User:Ixfd64 who listed Runecrafting along with Cooking (RuneScape), Crafting (RuneScape), Magic (RuneScape), and Prayer (RuneScape). Unless you meant your comment for that AfD, I think you are mistaken.  Also, what does the fact that somebody tried to do a massive deletion months ago, long before the RuneScape wiki was up and running have to do with this deletion itself? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 17:44, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Five months ago. That is not a long time on my books. Besides,I keep my view of it being void and if not void I will vote for keep. J.J.Sagnella 18:03, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep per above. POH is a very important feature in RuneScape, and it deserves its own article.Dtm142 20:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep too much info to be merged: important information: deserves article as much as every other article in Wikipedia: suggestor seems to have a disdain for RunesScape.-User:Merlin Storm
 * Note: Please do not vote to Merge as previously, many sections were split to shorten the article, as the editors were informed the article was too long. For this reason, many smaller skill articles popped up, and these articles are being shot down.p00rleno 20:09, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
