List of powers in City of Heroes and City of Villains
Wikipedia is not a game guide. Indrian 00:47, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't reach this opinion lightly because the article has been heavily edited and contains useful information for gamers. However, I believe the nominator is right: the article is a game guide, lacking general relevance, and against the style demanded by Attribution. Shalom Hello 01:10, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per hundreds of articles with all sorts of technical information already in existence. -- Naruttebayo 01:26, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Can you give some examples? --Phirazo 02:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keeep provided article expanded to incorporate invormation relating to how powers affect the game (eg in terms of plot device etc) rather than simply listing Guycalledryan 01:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT - This is exactly the stuff you'd find in a game guide and all the info is either WP:OR or straight from a game guide. Corpx 01:36, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a game guide. The fact that other articles like this exist is not a compelling argument for inclusion.  Lists of units, power, weapons or what-have-you have very little encyclopedic merit and generally are full of unsourced original research as well; as this one is.  --Haemo 01:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete If you see articles with this much technical and game guide material, fix them. It's against policy. Don't use them as excuses. DurinsBane87 02:05, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Pure game guide. Someone put a lot of work into this though, perhaps it could be transwikied elsewhere? --Phirazo 02:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is pretty much pure game guide. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:09, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Good example of WP:NOT. Spellcast 20:36, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
