List of Poptropica islands

 * – ( View AfD View log )

On the main page of Poptropica there is already an area named Islands and is essentially the same thing. MichaelSousa (talk) 22:53, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Please see WP:REDIRECT which explains how to make a redirect in such cases. Warden (talk) 12:50, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - After reading the Talk page, it seems as though it is a (incompleated) spinout from the Parent Article. IMO, the Embedded list does muck up the Article. Does the Stand-Alone satisfy WP:N?? Prolly no less than List of Star Wars Planets does. Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 23:06, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect: Wikipedia is WP:not a directory. AFD is an appropriate venue to discuss a redirect. The existence of other lists that don't meet the WP:GNG does not invalidate the guideline in this instance. (See WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS). Needs independent secondary sources.

 * Where would you suggest redirecting too ? Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 22:47, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:VGSCOPE #s 1 & 5. This level of detail on in-game elements is inappropriate, and the Poptropica article already contains way beyond what is necessary already, so merging back more isn't going to help. I had a look for sources and they're extremely light (on the main topic) and certainly don't support a spin-out. Someoneanother 22:35, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as per WP:GAMEGUIDE and WP:VG/GL. Encyclopedias don't list every single level in a game or series. Shooterwalker (talk) 00:16, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I find that difficult to jive with the fact that we regularly list every song on every album of (pretty much) every singer, esp. when the release of these islands shows the progression of how the game was developed, released & expanded. You do have to admit that it is Articles & Lists like these that bring in new, young editors. Exit2DOS • Ctrl • Alt • Del 03:24, 26 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Poptropica. It's all virtually there, anyways. –MuZemike 17:15, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as excessive WP:GAMECRUFT, item 6. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 17:57, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the Poptropica article. The islands in the game are not notable in themselves, but as part of the game. It is the game, not the islands in the game, which meets notability guidelines, so there is no need for an article on the islands. ItsZippy (talk) 20:19, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
