List of terms in Tales of the Abyss

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a game guide-ish list that defines "terms" that should be contained within the main article if they're important. It has no place on this site. TTN (talk) 20:41, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what Wikipedia's policies are on articles like this. I created it when, at the time, there existed similar articles such as "List of terms in Final Fantasy VII" (which I notice no longer exists).  I also created it because it felt weird to use terms in the other articles such as "hyperresonance", "replica", and "Grand Fonic Hymn" and need to explain them each time.  However, if it violates Wikipedian policies or what-not, I don't have an objection to it being deleted.  Sorry about that.  King Zeal (talk) 20:47, 14 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete reads like the instruction manual for the game. Non-notable, and unsourced. I doubt anything other then primary sources could be found for this. Ridernyc (talk) 20:49, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Anything notable enough or integral to a basic understanding of the plot should be covered in Tales of the Abyss. Anything that is not will not be of interest to the general reader and should not be covered in Wikipedia. I highly doubt there will be secondary sources that cover these things specifically to establish notability.  Pagra shtak  20:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * comment if they are important that would result in an unweildly main article. Thus TTN's position is flawed.Genisock2 (talk) 23:48, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * So your argument would be that if the terms are important they should not be covered in the main article. Is that position really any better?  Pagra shtak  15:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been added to the list of video game deletions. Someoneanother 08:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete all of these are better explained and treated inside the prose of the article itself. User:Krator (t c) 11:50, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
