The Vestibule
Completely non-notable board outsite its members, a well written subsection on IGN is sufficient, and redirection of The Vestibule to IGN should sort things out. It may be worth noting the state of the page currently is very bad. Asterism 16:30, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect We can't have one article per every board a forum has, no matter how notable. Merge any useful content in IGN and redirect. If we remove all the fancruft, the article becomes one paragraph long. -- ReyBrujo 16:40, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect I'm entirely in agreement. Merge what (little) redeemable material that exists into IGN and turn The Vestibule into a redirect. Sephylight 17:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect There's not much in there, but you could put a (very small) section about it in IGN page. Scrap the list of fads. --Smobey 17:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect This isn't notable enough for it's own article, mostly useless things are added to this article... --TehBrandon 21:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how to post on this page exactly, I just wanted to say I completely rewrote the article on The Vestibule. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.108.219.112 (talk • contribs).
 * Just put a *Comment at the beginning of your opinion, then your thoughts, finishing with ~ to sign your post. Also, thanks for your effort. The main concern is that, by allowing a board from a forum to be left as a standalone article, we may see several other articles about forums in Wikipedia. Please see the web notability: Even if an entire website meets the notability criteria, its components (forums, articles, sections) are not necessarily notable and deserving of their own separate article. -- ReyBrujo 22:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment What is the point of a wiki if your just going to eliminate the pages which you feel are not worthy. As long as no one is using the page as a forum ( and some are I am sure ) then leave it. Even if its only a little info about it. Its a wiki not news. 71.113.78.158 16:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Please read my comment immediately above yours: Even if an entire website meets the notability criteria, its components are not necessarily notable. Everyone can edit Wikipedia, but we must be selective with the articles. -- ReyBrujo 18:01, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't see why it should be deleted, a small section on the IGN page just isn't enough, its a complexe place that needs explaining in detail. Hows this for a deal - If i can make it bigger add more ect don't delete it Eagle5 22:12, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment It might be better to make an article for the IGN Boards as a whole (I see that it currently directs to IGN). There is precedent set by GameFAQs and the GameFAQs message boards article- even the largest individual boards have been rightfully stopped from making their own articles. 71.67.132.178 04:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect I agree with this above comment. Should be trimmed and moved to an IGN Boards article. --Icep 04:24, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
