Ships of Homeworld

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unencyclopedic list of gamer-only information. It was previously up for deletion here as well as another one which I can't find at the moment (the result was a merge/redirect I think). Anyways, delete as trivia/unencyclopedic. Wickethewok 21:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep unless something has changed As mentioned above, this got a "keep" result in the previous afd (not no consensus, but pretty strong keep it looks like). So unless something has significantly changed, I'd recommend keeping to be consistent with the previous result.  If we're not generally consistent with previous keep results, then we end up never having closure on potentially controversial articles and they keep reappearing on afd.

 * That is not actionable. The previous AfD was over a year ago. Consensus can change. Moreschi Request a recording? 22:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information: this does not cite any reliable sources, is unverified, and does not even bother to assert real-world notability. Moreschi Request a recording? 21:57, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per what Moreschi said. We do not have to be consistent with a previous lack of consensus. Inkpaduta 22:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep It's information on a game that was popular and notable. As far as sources, with computer games, isn't it usually playing the game itself or the manual?  It's a bit different from applying source standards for, say, a living historical figure.  Now if you wanted to nominate Category:Homeworld ships for deletion, then that I could agree with.

 * Category:Homeworld Ships wikilink tweaked to go to what I think is the appropriate category, not to Article:Category. -- saberwyn 02:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Remember - encyclopedic articles are based on independent secondary sources, not primary ones. Wickethewok 00:12, 17 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep per Bbagot. WP:FICT calls for the merging of characters and such (such as ships) into lists like this. The game itself is an OK primary source because the article does not try to analyze or interpret anything here. Sjakkalle (Check!)  07:57, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete some of the information on background and factions could be merged into Homeworld if it is wanted, but the naked lists of ships with no sources or info should be deleted. Eluchil404 07:51, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Move to user space of the original creator and tell the creator to add references as this does not cite any reliable sources, and is unverified. --Parker007 15:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - it does use the original work as a source and presents no synthesis, speculative or original information. The games serve to verify. The article was very likely an offshoot of the Homeworld article and, IMAO, should be treated as a part of the whole. --Kizor 20:56, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Bbagot. -- xompanthy 17:18, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
