Satsui_no_Hadou
This is fancruft. If anyone wants to write or read about such tiny details of a computer game, they should do it at fan sites for that purpose, not an encyclopedia. Medico80 21:27, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I've always felt these articles didn't belong here. Danny Lilithborne 22:18, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge into Street Fighter. Remember, Wikipedia is not paper. jgp 01:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Just because WP isn't paper doesn't mean we have to have articles for every videogame-related meme. The "Satsui no Hadou" concept is really only a relevant part of the Street Fighter Alpha storyline.  I think the only reason there's an article for it is because fans eat it up.  It's not really fancruft, but as an SF storyline fan myself, I think its importance is overstressed. Danny Lilithborne 02:41, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Wikipedia's an encyclopedia. It should have info on relatively obscure bits of information, like most encyclopedias do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slammenhousa (talk • contribs)
 * Keep Wikipedia is not paper. Researched and referenced articles on fiction and fictional concepts are completely valid additions to Wikipedia. - CNichols 21:01, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Smerge to Street Fighter per WP:CRUFT. Stifle (talk) 15:40, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep Weak merge.  (I'm a mergist and even I feel it's weak.) WP:FICTION supports the standard for this page to exist.  Just because it's pop culture does not mean it's not valid or encyclopedic. --Kunzite 01:18, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * STRONG MERGE after going further down the Japan deletion page there are like articles created from the same series... that should be all smushed together into one happy fun article. --Kunzite 02:33, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think that would be preferable. -ZeroTalk 01:50, 27 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Merge Not terribly important as an article itself, but it's somewhat important in the context of the work it is in. --DA Roc 01:49, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Valid and informative article that the series revolves around. Not sure I understand the alledged reasoning for deletion, ethier. -ZeroTalk 19:51, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't have much more to add to my short reason for deletion. Gamer fiction like this just doesn't belong in an encyclopedia, paper or not. A limit has to be drawn somewhere, or all them game and cartoon categories will turn into independent communities, thinking they own the place, making their own house rules, allways testing the limits of fair use. Medico80 23:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * "Testing the limits of fair use"..? Chap, have you read and fully comprehended the basis behind the Fair use criteria...? And have you taken a gander to see where the image links lead to..? Making a extensive analysis over deletable material on wikipedia might also be fair game.-ZeroTalk 12:22, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Have a look at the text - it's all copy-paste from an unknown source. No external references, as for most of all game fiction sites here. Medico80 13:48, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd be satisfied if you could show us a link from this "unknown source". -ZeroTalk 15:39, 26 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Interesting article.  Don't see what your problem is.--Dangerous-Boy 06:13, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Can I keep this article, Ryu? SHORYUKEN! Fairly well put together page. Voice of Treason 15:37, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
