Neopets Items

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The article is essentially a catalog of items for Neopets in violation of WP:NOT. A merge to the parent article is not appropriate as this is simply a detailed list of items. The parent article already discusses the concept of Neopet items without a need for an exhaustive list Whpq (talk) 15:28, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I put prod on it for pretty much the same reasons. The author took it off and I was going to give him a few days to see if he could make the article any better before listing it here. It seems you got there first. --DanielRigal (talk) 16:06, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOT WP:NOT, appears to be a stand-alone list, but no explicit selection criteria per WP:SAL. -Verdatum (talk) 16:18, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. What's the encyclopedic value of this list? andy (talk) 23:04, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Arbitrary - "Many of these items are listed here, yet not all of them will be" - and useless: there's no explanation of what these items are or what role they play in the game, rendering it of extremely limited value to readers who aren't already familiar with the subject.

 * Keep Perhaps one can ask for more information. It seems someone has gone through a lot of trouble to gain this list and it could prove useful. Although I agree that wikipedia is not an indiscriminate amount of information, the list certainly has some value to it. Perhaps the person can be reminded of other fictional item lists that have been considered helpful for wikipedia users such as list of pokemon (which has been changed from a list to a detailed list) and List of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in order to have the article rewritten to fit the encyclopedia more.Monkeytheboy (talk) 17:26, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete useless, unending, and Wikipedia is not a directory. There are almost 26,000 Neopets items, with more added regularly, so yes, this list is beyond arbitrary. Collectonian (talk) 17:44, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - indiscriminate collection of items that happens to be nothing more than game guide information. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 03:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
