List of Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Formats and Strategies
Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. Original research galore on this one, as well. While there's a Yu-Gi-Oh project going on (which I'm a part of), I think this kind of info is better served on the Yu-Gi-Oh Wiki. Danny Lilithborne 05:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC) P.S. If you're going to delete this article, don't stop at just this! Here's two other articles that are quite similar to this one: Tank (computer gaming) and Munchkin (role-playing games); they are similar in that they teach about different styles, or strategies if you must, about MMORPG's and RPG's.

 * Delete - wikipedia is not a strategy guide.Bakaman Bakatalk 20:32, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article isn't a strategy guide, since it doesn't teach how to make the decks; if it was a strategy guide, it would say "The perfect aggro deck is: and give a list of cards. Nor is it original research, because there's websites such as Pojo.com and some about.com websites that explain what these decks are and how to build them. I think that if the sections can get expanded, this will be a good article.  HOWEVER, I think this shouldn't have the word "strategies" in the title, but rather just be called List of Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck Formats.
 * Comment I don't see any similarity whatsoever, other than all three articles are about games. The article I nominated is a how-to guide, and you haven't said anything that proves otherwise. Danny Lilithborne 16:20, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment They are similar in that they explain about different styles of playing a particular game; for example, the tank article is a how-to guide on how to "tank" in MMORPG's, and the Munchkin one tells how to play as an underestimated character. The article you nominated tells about different styles of play that Yu-Gi-Oh players use.  Second, I'm not sure how this(The article you nominated) is a how-to guide, could you please enlighten me?

 * Comment "Tank" and "munchkin" are common enough terms in gaming in general to merit having an article explaining their meaning and source; this article just explains how decks differ from each other using fan-based terms, with no sources whatsoever. "Aggro deck" has no meaning outside of MTG variant type games. Instead of trying to get the article kept as is (which it obviously won't), why don't you add some sources, or (better) consider a transwiki. Danny Lilithborne 01:30, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I guess I will try and find some sources, and make this article better, but you still haven't answered my question: how is this article a how-to guide? These are how-to guides: Aggro deck, Combo Deck, Control deck, and Midgame deck.
 * Delete or Transwiki, it's all original research with no sources. TJ Spyke 04:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
