Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Legend of Zelda: The Hero of Time (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to The Legend of Zelda. We have a Redirect and selective Merge, a Redirect and a Delete. That indicates that there is a consensus against a stand alone article. Beyond that none of the arguments really trump one another in terms of how to get rid of it, so I am going to make a judgement call here and go with the middle course.

I don't think this meets GNG. It has some mentioned in sources (some OTN now) but nothing that is substantial and specific coverage. It's been years since it released, it's clear there's not going to be more sources covering this either. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 16:53, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect and selective merge to The Legend of Zelda I ran a proquest news archive searches on "The Legend of Zelda: The Hero of Time ", then on "Legend of Zelda: The Hero of Time", then on "The Hero of Time" + Zelda.  that last search turned up this review: Retira Nintendo filme sobre videojuego 'Zelda' Díaz, Jesús. Mural; Guadalajara, Mexico [Guadalajara, Mexico]04 Jan 2010: 2.  and this review on Engadget Upcoming 'Zelda' amiibo unlocks a challenge dungeon, Seppala, Timothy J. Engadget, New York: AOL Inc.

 * Redirect. This is cool, but... where are the references? Like EMG above, I cannot find any. As such, this fails WP:GNG and sadly, does not deserve an independent early. Strange, though, that a geeky topic like this didn't generate any coverage, you'd think Kotaku etc. would be all over it. I found some coverage of an audiotrack with a similar name, but I think that's what we are discussing here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:49, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article is about a fan film, not the phrase "hero of time", which is used in other capacities in the series. The question is whether this phrase is worth redirecting (and covering) in the main article, and based on the above sourcing (+ this source), no, it is not worth mentioning or redirecting. (Further, a redirect would be inappropriate if the fan film was not mentioned in the article, which it is not and should not.) Choosing whether to redirect Hero of time there is a different, but more apt consideration based on the other sources found above. czar  05:09, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
