List of Rainbow Six: Vegas Weapons

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

Close-ended list of real-life weapons in video game, does not comply with WP:NOT: not an indiscriminate list/game guide. Scottie theNerd 01:13, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Per my reasons above for the simular Zelda list, lists of items provide no useful context or information regarding the notability or importance of the items. If a guide WERE to (for instance a well-sourced list of iconic gaming items) then that might be different, but this is a game guide. Wintermut3 05:51, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Pointless list that isn't encyclopedic and doesnt belong on wikipedia. DurinsBane87 08:25, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as per above. P Ingerson (talk) 12:21, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I have been bold and merged it with the article, pointing this page as a redirect. The list is just a bunch of names, without importance or extra information, so there's no reason to keep it outside of the article. I'd suggest closing this AfD and continuing to discuss it on Talk:Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas. --Falcorian (talk) 18:43, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * delete. Unlike the Zelda list, there is no information in this article to justify a list. But still, how is this a game guide? A game guide is an instruction manual (this is quite clear at WP:NOT) and this list says nothing about how to play the game. &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 19:19, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't have to be an instruction manual, anything "primarily of use to someone actually playing the game" is suspect. Even so, lacking verifiable information on the notability of the weapons violates WP:V and WP:N right off the bat. Wintermut3 19:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)


 * As noted above, game guides aren't purely instruction manuals. Game guides often contain miscellaneous lists that would be of interest to a player but not to a general reader. A full list of weapons does not belong in a game article as it directly violates WP:NOT - Not an indiscriminate list. There's no reason to list all the weapons in a game. --Scottie theNerd 21:48, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
