The Chinese (Age of Empires)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article based entirely on a specific playable nation in a game series. Mostly written with game modifiers and in-game text which refers to the history of the nation, which seems to be found at the History of China article. 猛禽22 •• 06:34, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikiepdia is not a Game Guide and as most of the content is repeated in other articles. The article could however be significantly scaled down and merged with the exisitng Age Of Empires pages, if the content is improved and is deemed important.

 * Delete - The culture overview stuff is redundant as Age of Empires purports (rightly or wrongly) to present historically faithful information. (We wouldn't have an article for The Chinese in Encyclopaedia Britannica unless Britannica got the topic so wrong as to draw independent comment capable of satisfying WP:N).  Which leaves only the stat bonus stuff, which as Fattyjwoods has said is covered by WP:NOTGUIDE (Wikipedia is not a game guide.)  There's nothing in this article that satisfies the criteria for a standalone article (WP:N), and the content itself is not appropriate in any article per WP:NOT. - DustFormsWords (talk) 10:10, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
