The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask masks, weapons and items
This is entirely unencyclopediac article, both in prose and in content. According to WP:NOT, we are entirely opposed to gameguides and article in similar veins. This is gamefaqs material and unjustified for encycloepdiac inclusion. Its also horridly written and infrignes upon numerous manual of style guidelines. Randall Brackett 22:48, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Transwiki to Encyclopedia Gamia. Wikipedia isn't a game game guide, but what is a game guide?  IMHO, this is a corrolary of Wikipedia is not a how-to manual, meaning Wikipedia is not for game walkthroughs.  This article isn't a walkthrough.  Information of issues like design and gameplay is exactly what we should be covering in the computer and video games project.  That said, the items in Majora's Mask are not notable in their own right and we already have a good page about items in the series, so this should be moved to a more appropriate wiki.

 * Delete, WP:NOT a game guide. Dump a copy on an appropriate game wiki if they want it (note that this can be done at any time).  Proto ::  type  08:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:NOT does not state we are entirely opposed to gameguides and article in similar veins, it states that Wikipedia...should not include... tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, video game guides.... This article is a decent list, it is complete and contains background information. It is a not a game-guide and Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia. Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 10:25, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - isn't this already covered in The Legend of Zelda series weapons and items, which is an article with a good reputation as NOT being a gameguide? -- nae'blis (talk) 21:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment That article is only for recurring items inthe series, while most of the Majora's Mask items are unique to the game. Ace of Sevens 22:48, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, well-said nom. Recury 13:44, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep/Merge As noted in Ace of Sevens's comment, many items are found only in Majora's Mask. Subsections like the various masks available throughout the game are cruicial and specific to this game only &mdash; they should remain in a separate page such as this in this category. However, it does makes more sense for subsections like "Dungeon Items", "Arrows and similar weapons", "Shields", etc., to be merged with the main The Legend of Zelda series weapons and items page as these generally apply to the whole series than this game, even if they do make an appearance in Majora's Mask. So, I say keep "Masks" at least (perhaps Rename page to "The Legend of Zelda: Masks from Majora's Mask) and merge the other non-specific info. --Tryforceful 19:05, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The information that is not redundant with the Zelda items article or the main Majora's Mask article are the minor masks and minor items like the Bomber's Notebook. Nifboy 20:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * keep please this is for items only in majoras mask and is not a game guide Yuckfoo 17:55, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: Article quality is not a factor in deletion, as it can be remedied by the Nom as easily as listing for deletion. As the article is not a game guide, I don't see any problem with it. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 04:30, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
