MapleStory game issues

 * — (View AfD)

most of the things the article talk about can't be understood if u didn't played the game before. also there are no sources at all. and also most of the parts are written in non-encyclopedia format. KaiFei 18:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom KaiFei 18:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - possible bad-faith nomination, as the only previous edits by the editor have been page move vandalism of a featured article. --- RockMFR 18:56, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment what do u mean move vandalism, whatever i just group it under animal
 * Delete. Bad faith doesn't change the fact that it's unsourced, OR, ugliness. -Amarkov blahedits 19:04, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment well said bro KaiFei 19:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge back into MapleStory. It can be cleaned up there. --- RockMFR 19:29, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per above. As one of the editors of MapleStory, I used to think this page was a good idea. However, now, it's become too bloated with information that is really too unnecessary for Wikipedia to know. Merge "important" information into the Criticism section of MapleStory.

 * Delete since none of the issues are sourced; if someone can come up with some sources on any of these issues, then they can be merged into the main article. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 21:42, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete 10 out of 10 of these issues are generic issues all MMOs have to deal with (scamming glitches etc). Nifboy 22:17, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - Summarize merge - I had initially created this page since so much junk was getting put on the main MapleStory page. Maybe one paragraph needs to be added to the main page to summarize the main points, but the rest is just junk.  Except for the number of hack users, most of the issues really aren't that much of a problem. -- Prod-You 02:04, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into criticisms section in main article. ← A NAS  Talk? 11:25, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to main article and do a complete rewrite of the alleged criticisms. This article rambles, repeats and talks of common MMORPG scams that are hardly unique to MapleStory (Yeah, people know how to rip people off, but is there anything unique about it? "Hey, Wikipedia has a severe bug! You can hit Alt+F4 (⌘W on Mac) to get admin priviledges!" is the oldest trick in the book!) People who cry lack of sources are, in my opinion, understating the problem: This is not well researched anyway (random collection of Stuff without clear view of the big picture), and it's more like a collection of random anecdotes that may or may not be relevant, real, or even interesting. I usually don't think content issues warrant deletion, but this material doesn't appear to be salvageable - it can be left as a redirect though. For now, I believe MapleStory is sufficient and beautifully succinct. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 23:55, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
