Human Meta-Human Vampiric Virus
Wikipedia is WP:NOT a game guide. The relevant information is already in the Shadowrun article, so there's nothing to merge. wikipediatrix 05:22, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete Article is a detailed expansion beyond the mention in the article, but is awfully crufty. -Freekee 05:39, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and edit mercilessly, the disease's mention in the shadowrun article is awfully short. It can't hurt to describe the different strains in a separate article. Cruftiness usually requires cleanup instead of deletion. - Mgm|(talk) 08:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article contains informaion beyond what is in Shadowrun. jgp TC 10:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. Game guide information. Which doesn't need to be an article. wikipediatrix 13:23, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Why not? --Dr Archeville 14:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Because WP:NOT says so. wikipediatrix 14:23, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * From the definition of encyclopedia, an encyclopedia is "a comprehensive written compendium that contains information on all branches of knowledge". jgp TC 07:35, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * This is not a how-to. Kappa 21:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep but edit/expand. --Dr Archeville 14:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge, describing an aspect of the game is encylopedic, unlike a how-to which is what WP:NOT prohibits. Kappa 21:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep the article provides useful information that should not be included in the Shadowrun article to keep its size down. EvilCouch 05:40, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge, expands on info already in the shadowrun article. Kim Bruning 12:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep -- This doesn't really fall under the "Wikipedia is not a game guide" category, since the Shadowrun universe is primarily a pen-and-paper RPG setting, and therefore not something one can write a game guide (in the video-game-how-to sense) for. Pinball22 15:24, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete this cruft. Doczilla 05:34, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete of what possible use or end could this be?-Kmaguir1 08:08, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:00, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
