Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Star Control races (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Star Control. On the one hand, both headcount and strength of arguments e.g WP:NLIST or WP:INDISCRIMINATE endorse the notion that the page does need to go. Seems also like there are valid arguments against merging over content. However, the point that people going to this page should be pointed to some article seems reasonable and there is no specific counterargument; thus redirecting rather than outright deleting.

List is mostly fiction-cruft with no indication that the races listed were mentioned in reliable sources. Wikia-style material. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 16:52, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - this is something that shouldn’t even be in the games article, per WP:GAMECRUFT, let alone spun out into its own article. Sergecross73   msg me  16:59, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete as an excessively WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:GAMECRUFTy list. Topic does not meet WP:LISTN. --letcreate123 (talk) 20:33, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The lead material should be included in the specific articles in question. Is it? --Izno (talk) 21:03, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Star Control. Preserve the history in case any can be merged over.  This page got 4,231 pageviews in the past 90 days.  So someone coming here and seeing the redirect, might go ahead and work on merging information over eventually.   D r e a m Focus  15:54, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Star Control. A redirect seems appropriate, but I would not be opposed to an outright deletion. I am primarily suggesting a redirect as it could be a valid search term, and there is a parent article to redirect to. I am not sure if any of the current article could be useful or merged into the parent article as it does not appear that anything is cited with third-party reliable sources.

 * Actually, if there is no list of characters in the Star Control article, it will just be a confusing and pointless redirect.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:07, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Then that information can be merged over as I have said.  D r e a m Focus  22:52, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the responses. Upon further reflection, I agree with letcreate123 and Sergecross73's arguments with WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:GAMECRUFT. I do not see enough reliable, third-party sources to justify a separate article, and there is really nothing from this article to merge into the Star Control one. My vote is delete.
