Phasing (Magic mechanic)
The article is about a single mechanic within the game of Magic: The Gathering. While the game itself deserves a page, and the rules deserve a page (having been nominated and kept), individual mechanics do not. Khaim 04:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Also nominated as similar pages: Haste, Vigilance (Magic mechanic), Fear (Magic mechanic).


 * Delete as per nom Khaim 04:20, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge all to Magic: The Gathering rules - Richfife 05:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge all per above. MER-C 06:08, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I would like to point out that the information either a) already exists on that page or b) was deemed too minor to mention even on that page (see Talk:Magic:_The_Gathering_rules). Khaim 15:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete In a game that has thousands upon thousands of cards, we can't have a separate article for every single one. Not notable at all.  --The Way 09:11, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply As the creator of these, I can say I was not trying to describe each and every card, just different mechanics, especially ones where there's a story to its name or, in the case of Phasing, there's a lot of confusion. -- Jbl1975 13 October 2006 01:04 EDT
 * Reply I agree with you, but Pokemon has set a pretty strong precedent here. - Richfife 02:47, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply If people have engaged in this with the Pokemon category then that doesn't necessarily count in favor of keeping this article; rather, it seems to imply that we should nominate most of those articles for deletion as well --The Way 05:12, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply They did. It didn't work. - Richfife 23:32, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge all per Richfife. - Lex 02:43, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all per WP:NOT a game guide, or failing that, merge all per above. Sandstein 07:28, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete neither notable nor encycopedic (i.e. game guide). Eluchil404 07:53, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge All Phasing had much more on it then what is there now. I just preferred to explain how certain names of mechanics got their names.  If you feel these things could be merged into one page, then please do so, but I like the descriptions I have (and had) for each one. -- Jbl1975 13 October 2006 01:01 EDT
