List of maps in Battlefield 2
Inherently a game guide, providing little meaningful material but that which appears to have been copied directly from the manual. Should therefore be deleted as gamecruft. Daveydw ee b ( chat/patch ) 22:11, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: This was originally prodded by me, then deprodded before being reprodded by an anonymous editor. Therefore, I've taken this to AfD.
 * Second note: I feel that some precedent is set in a number of other deletions, such as List of maps in Company of Heroes, List of multiplayer maps in Halo 2 and others like them. Daveydw ee b ( chat/patch ) 22:13, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, WP:NOT a game guide.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, doesn't look like a game guide to me. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 01:06, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Please take a look at the discussions I linked to, above. In what way is this article different from those? Daveydw ee b ( chat/patch ) 12:18, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep per Cyber. Havok (T/C/c) 11:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - I can't understand why there is a list of maps in the Super Mario 64 FA, yet people don't want a list of maps for Battlefield 2. Whereas I'm not against the deletion of individual maps, I think that a main list should be kept.  Unlike say Halo, which some may feel that the multiplayer is a peripheral part of the game (I am not one of these), these maps form the core of the Battlefield 2 gameplay. - Hahnch  e  n 14:16, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Compare the length of this article with its equivalent in the Super Mario 64 article. This article goes into overwhelmingly useless detail, and should never have been split from Battlefield 2. Thus, this article has no reason to exist, using Super Mario as an example.

 * Comment - I disagree there. I wouldn't be against anything like the list of maps within the Day of Defeat: Source article, but the way they've organised it, the Battlefield 2 article also contains the Special Forces expansion and the 2 booster packs.  If the expansion pack was a separate article, and the booster packs clumped together in another article, the having the maps inline like SM64 would be fine.  But because it isn't, I think this is OK. - Hahnch  e  n 23:23, 23 September 2006 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Symbol keep vote.svg|25px]]Very Strong Keep Definitely not a game guide. And not cruft. A valuable sub-section of Battlefield 2. --WikiCats 02:38, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is an obvious case of misinterpretation of Wikipedia policy. We all agree that Wikipedia should not include game guides - that is, articles where there are instructions, hints, guides, tips, and other text where the article generally instructs the reader how to play the game. What Wikipedia is here for is to state facts and other reference information - and that is all this article does. I would really like to know what separates this article from any other game related article. How does this qualify as a game guide? If this article was merged into Battlefield 2, would that article also be a game guide? Are all game sub-articles game guides? Has the user putting this up for deletion even considered that people might come to Wikipedia to look up this information? Isnt that the whole point of Wikipedia - for people to look up factual information? Remy B 03:31, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I've put up all of the articles having to do with each different map for deletion. I don't see why we need a article for something that is already covered on the Battlefield 2 main page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by M8v2 (talk • contribs)
 * Comment This information could easily be merged into the Battlefield 2 main page, as it was at the Super Mario 64 page. Splits, such as this, should only be made when there is sufficient information on the subject that it warrant a unique article - but really, what information could be provided in this article that could be used at Battlefield 2? This should be merged and then, since this article provides no useful search terms and serves no real purpose, deleted. Daveydw ee b ( chat/patch ) 05:10, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete based on precedence. Those were valid Afds, and this page is of the same ilk. GarrettTalk 06:31, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Is a list, so its probably fine.Bakaman Bakatalk 20:40, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - It appears to be copied from the in-game description of the maps (not manual), but it is highly useful information. Perhaps if the individual maps could be split into their own articles it might be better? For example, Dailan Plant/ Gulf of Oman/Great Wall? Motor.on 22:42, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Only gives some background information and doesn't give any tips. Also, all of the descriptions are taken from the in-game loading screens. Unicyclopedia 05:37, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
