List of fighting game terms
Transwikied to Transwiki:List_of_fighting_game_terms, no longer needed in Wikipedia--Zxcvbnm 23:51, 14 April 2006 (UTC) --Zxcvbnm 00:19, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, encylopedic, has far too much information for a dictionary. Kappa 23:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: It is actually a list of dictionary terms, each needs their own Wiktionary article.
 * This is essentially a collection of short encylopedia articles, not just definitions. Anyway as you are aware, Wikipedia also includes glossary pages for various specialized fields. Kappa 00:48, 15 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - Article encourages original research and the saturation of an unecyclopediac article. Wikitionary is present for a reason. -ZeroTalk 08:29, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, a true "textbook deletion". For once we specifically have a rule saying that a specific class of articles should not exist, and this article is a perfect example of that class. Next, please. Stevage 11:52, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Zxcvbnm and Stevage. Angr (talk • contribs) 09:18, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - It covers not just terms but also elements of strategies, various glitches, and things of the like; it probably should be expanded to something like "fighting game general terms and strategies" though... right now as far as stuff like strategy content goes, it's just the basic level of it all (IE things like wavedashing are generally used as parts of strategies, but alone aren't technically a "strategy"). In short: keep, but expand it to include more than just terms at the basic level... also try to keep it from game-specific examples, and more towards things that are common or are existant in a number of fighting games.

 * Delete, Wikipedia is not gamefaqs.com or a dictionary. Stifle (talk) 23:38, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
