List of Fallout Vaults

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

List of vaults shows no notability outside of the game series, and effective is a game guide material, which is inappropriate for Wikipedia. Presumably mention of the general description of vaults should be present in a Fallout series article but save for those critical to the plot (eg Vault 13/101) an explicit list is unnecessary.

Disagree; we have lists containing information from video games all over Wikipedia. I think it qualifies simply for the fact that certain fans want to know the info.Saberwolf116 (talk) 16:39, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * But this information is not of any use to the general reader; it is worth noting in the Fallout series article that the vaults were used for various forms of psychological experiments, but listing every single vault throughout the series is not helpful. This information can be linked in from the Fallout wiki which is presently there on the page.  --M ASEM  16:41, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete pure gamecruft. No indication of notability, no explanation as to why these are relevent (only Fallout fans would know just by looking at the article). The page is just a copy of info from http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault . I see no need to have it here too.  TJ   Spyke   16:58, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - interesting list, already well maintained at wikia. Here it's gamecruft, though. Marasmusine (talk) 17:40, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete: May be interesting to some readers, but inherently does not belong at Wikipedia. Fails WP:NOT and WP:VGSCOPE for going into exhaustive detail about the game world, verging on a game guide. Also fails WP:N, WP:V, and WP:OR because it is impossible for this article to rely on anything but the game itself for verification. Articles need to rely on reliable, independent secondary sources.

 * Delete — Indiscriminate information fit more for a game guide than in an encyclopedia. MuZemike  ( talk ) 19:58, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Cruft. SharkD (talk) 00:59, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - directory of locations mostly trivial in-game, certainly trivial out-of-game. --EEMIV (talk) 03:58, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - The Wikia pages are better anyway.--ZXCVBNM 22:36, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - While it is not of any general interest to a non-gamer and as mentioned by others above, information is available elsewhere, one of the benefits of Wikipedia is it is more likely to be available on the net for the long term than many small enthusiast sites. The notion of the purpose of the vaults is amusing and harmless.  --Mattrix007 (talk) 01:59, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
