List of Foursquare Badges

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This list of 'badges' for the social networking website Foursquare is not suitable content, listing each and every badge is indiscriminate. It's total trivia. Fences &amp;  Windows  22:42, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agreed. This is useful as a help document, but all of the "cited sources" are just graphic files hosted on the Foursquare web site. Some of the badges (e.g. the ones sponsored by Bravo) have been the subject of external articles, but that can be covered in the main Foursquare article.

 * Strong delete - Gamecruft; WP:NOT violation. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  01:28, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Disagree - WP:NOT Under bullet 3, states, "should also describe the site in an encyclopedic manner, offering detail on a website's achievements, impact or historical significance." Precedent for this type of content seen at Monopoly_(game). WP:CHANCE - Image files were used as sources to substantiate the claim of existence - would instances of application be more appropriate? example: http://foursquare.com/user/db/badges/22786 Tonyfelice -- (talk) 06:51, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * See WP:OTHERSTUFF. This article does not have any sources to indicate why any of the badges are notable. This article just describes a set of features of the Foursquare service, and as such the relevant bits (not a complete list of badges) should be merged back into the main Foursquare article.

 * Merge, then Delete - Agree. -- Tonyfelice (talk) 16:04, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as is - I disagree. If this article were to be merged, it would make the original Foursquare article unnecessarily long and that is why this page was created. Listing the Foursquare badges is like listing each individual episode of a TV series. For TV series that usually have over 10 episodes, this is done on an external article. In addition, many times, these articles do not necessarily link to yet other articles talking about the episodes; they merely list the episodes with a short description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tokyocolumbia (talk • contribs) 14:35, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Again, WP:OTHERSTUFF. Of the badges listed in this article, none is individually notable &mdash; there are no reliable sources that have commented about them independently. White 720 (talk) 21:47, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
