NS Variables
The result was delete. No Guru 03:21, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

This seems to be a listing of variables or something used for modding a video game or something similar. Not encyclopedic whatever it is. PROD removed by anon with no explanation. Delete as Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a coding repository. Wickethewok 19:48, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Neigel von Teighen 19:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:NOT whatever this is. Sandstein 21:20, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's not for modding, as these are ingame console variables and commands.  However, this is something that would belong in a guide to the game, not on Wikipedia.  a civilian 19:40, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP is not a dump for game guides. Pavel Vozenilek 19:42, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, seems like a manual. -- Gray  Porpoise Phocoenidae, not Delphinidae 13:36, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. may seem like a manual, but i would argue that this is instead a completely systemized and well compiled (if not an almost complete) article on the uses and function of the half-life (and through half-life, Natural selection) console commands, many of which can seem esoteric even to the longest time vetrans of this game. This is the only reference i have ever seen with this level of systemization. The encyclopedic value of this compilation is the explanation of useful netcode and console commands that were never formally released by valve, the designer of the engine for this particular game. I can understand that to others this may seem simply like coding, or modification terminology, but to those of us who play this particular game, and to many outside communities involved in running and playing this game, this page is a priceless reference when discussing the improvement of the game, as well as improvement for the players experiences, and to remove it will remove an amazingly rich resource for those of us who do play NS. If anything, do not delete, but merge with the Natural Selection article which exists here. Tehavenged 16:19, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, as above Faulty 12:31, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
