List of Spectrobes

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I am nominating this page for deletion for a few reasons. First, it violates WP:NOT, specifically Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and Wikipedia is not a game guide. Second, it somewhat violates Wikipedia:Copyrights in that all the information is straight from the game, not paraphrased, sourced, etc. It's almost as if the editor went through the game, looked at all his Spectrobes, and just copied their info word for word! (Doesn't that kind of count as Original Research?) Lastly, it somewhat violates WP:NOTE in that the Spectrobes themselves are not all that notable; apart from this game and a few webisodes, they have not made any public appearances, been in any other games, caused some riots, etc. SuperDT 06:22, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment It says at the top of the page: "All of the descriptions provided are from the respective Spectrobe's Database Entry in the game." Sincerely, Thrashmeister {U|T|C} 23:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Ok, I missed that part. Thank you for showing me that :) I am removing that part out of my original point. SuperDT 04:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:NOT. Who needs this silly list?  It's useful only for people who play the game, not for people who might want to know about the game from an encyclopedic point of view. YechielMan 07:48, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT, there is not need for this list in an encyclopedia.--Joebengo 18:13, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I have transferred the list onto a gaming Wiki. As for my opinion, it doesn't matter either way to me. It does violate WP:NOT, as it has information irrelevant to Wikipedia, as Wikipedia is not a game guide. Having transferred the list, I don't really care whether or not it is deleted. Go ahead with deletion. -- Soilworker(Talk to me + Contribs) 01:13, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and comments above. Jerry 22:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
