Sheep Tag
702 Googles, non-notable fanmade custom map/gametype. Sounds very fascinating, but not very encyclopedic. GarrettTalk 05:32, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * keep The point of an encyclopedia is not to hold to some paragon of encyclopedianess, or even worthiness, but to explain concepts. Someday some poor websurfer is going to wonder what someone means when they say I used to play a lot of sheep tag, shouldn't wikipedia be there, once all the Warcrafft III forums have closed down?

 * Delete and replace with an article on the little plastic thing attached to the sheep's ear called a "Sheep tag"! Frühstücksdienst 05:52, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Incidentally, is there really a little plastic thingy attached to sheep ears called a "sheep tag"?  I've only ever seen sheep at the state fair and at petting zoos.  Oh, and cooked, as in gyro or leg of lamb, and worn, as in wool.  I'm getting pretty close to violating WP:POINT at the moment, so I'll make a comparison: articles about custom maps and gametypes for video games have about as much worthiness for an article as a rambling essay about my experiences with sheep.  Which is to say, none at all.  The Literate Engineer 06:42, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * That's an interesting take on the Chewbacca defence! -Splash 18:07, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Yes, there are such little plastic thingy attached to sheep ears called a "sheep tags". I have spent time on farms and that's what they call them. Its a fairly common term among sheep farmers. See this page for a picture and info about a sheep tagging system. Frühstücksdienst 17:54, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * no vote There's a whole category of these things?! I mean, there's a lot of cvg-cruft around, and Wiki is not paper, but this is just getting ridiculous. --Alan Au 17:41, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, wikipedia is not paper and the article actually isn't a worthless stub. Tempshill 18:05, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete nn, ne, crufty. -Splash 18:07, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep This is certainly no stub; and represents a trend among Warcraft players.Please note: some ppl spell "warcraft III" as "warcraft 3". Google for [warcraft 3 "sheep tag"] returns 1360 hits. Debroglie 09:43, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
