Locations of Half-Life

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Violates WP:GAMEGUIDE, WP:GNG, WP:IINFO. Excluding the reception section, it is all primary sources and walkthrough's. Reception is about the environment of the game in general, not specific locations. Specific locations are not discussed by outside sources. Vaypertrail (talk) 10:14, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge into Half-life (series) per nom, but the setting of the game is easily notable given the wide range of media coverage cited in the article. The Elder Scrolls is a similarly notable game series with a similarly notable setting and that game's setting redirects as above.  ♥ Solarra ♥  ♪ 話 ♪  ߷  ♀ 投稿 ♀ 11:31, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep There is non-primary sourced information about specific locations among the other details in addition to the reception section. I will agree there are places to trim down, but the significance of the locations in the HL series have been well described in media. There's also no game guide material here (these are general locations, but not, for example, name-by-name levels as game guide warns about). The series article is already too large to accept this. --M ASEM (t) 14:27, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Can I ask where? All I see GS talks about City 17 in a hl1 and hl2 review and some unknown persons thesis'. Xen, black mesa, science lab are all passing mentions and no real info. That's only City 17, everything else is passing mentions, fan sites, or nothing at all, or 9 out of 10 locations failing WP:N.--Vaypertrail (talk) 15:58, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * There's no requirement that every entry in a list meets WP:N. Yes, there needs to be some love and care to help source these better,, but the key locations in the Half-Life world are well defined placed in video game from the current sources, and AFD is not for cleanup. Yes, I agree there's trimming to be done, but that's not what you can use AFD to force to happen. --M ASEM (t) 22:12, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * So you agree only one entry meets WP:N, in which case it's mergeable with Half-life (series).--Vaypertrail (talk) 12:15, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - I feel like there is value of the page and as such, if this were to be kept, I would want the whole scope of the setting of Half-Life to be expanded. Yes, the locations does read as a game guide, but I feel like a broader scope and more encyclopedic approach could do this some good. D ARTH B OTTO talk•cont 06:38, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
