List of Star Ocean locations

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article asserts no notability through reliable sources, and is just a repetition of the setting and plot sections of the Star Ocean game articles. As such, it is repetitive and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 00:19, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to the brief main article. JJL (talk) 00:20, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree that a merge into Star Ocean (series) would be more appropriate. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 00:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge I suppose, though I do think this article has potential in the long term. As the creator of this article from "back in the day," this article was meant to be a summary style break of long sections in the main articles (such as Star Ocean 3) to prevent clutter.  While the standards are now higher for doing this, I do believe that this article could eventually stand on its own once more sources were found (likely with many of them in Japanese, unfortunately).  This would be a long process, though, so merging back to the Star Ocean (series) article for now would be fair. SnowFire (talk) 01:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is a game, not a TV show or book series, and so is gameguide AND plot, both NOT. Blast Ulna (talk) 07:21, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. There is no point in merging, this is an indiscriminate list of non-notable locations. The plot sections in each Star Ocean article already explains what's important to explain. Mentioning every single location and planet of the series' universe is not appropriate.

 * Delete as non notable fancruft.--Berig (talk) 13:34, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fancruft.  If people play the game, they know where the game is.  If they don't, they don't care.  Utgard Loki (talk) 16:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as violating WP:GAMETRIVIA. This is just non-notable information that you'd find in a game guide. The main star ocean article already gives an encyclopedic overview. Randomran (talk) 21:58, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This borders on WP:NOT, but even if one ignores that, the article is still entirely plot summary with no real-world significance. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 08:42, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Lists (discriminate and verifiable). A list is not a how to, which is what the gameguide guideline cautions against.  Trivia is encyclopedic.  Subject is consistent per First pillar with a specialized encyclopedia on Star Ocean.  "cruft" is nevera valid argument to delete.
