Units and Buildings of Starcraft 2

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Fork of StarCraft II due to an editing dispute. Wikipedia is not a game guide, and a list of units is not encyclopedic. No reliable sources cited, nor do any exist. Original author is claiming gameplay videos released by Blizzard of a pre-beta game constitute reliable sources for creating a list of units in the upcoming game. Unit lists are recognized as unencyclopedic and do not exist in other game articles, including StarCraft. Kesh 18:53, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The page was created after complaint from numerous readers of the lackability of the starcraft article. Kesh's only complaint is that the article doesn't follow rules, regardless if it improves the article. He also says that Blizzards released video of their game is not a reliable source for their game. He also claims that we are speculating on the subject, when in fact in the video there is a Blizzard developer talking about the new units and what they do. Why is what the Blizzard developer says about his game unreliable for his game? PS Components of a Starcraft 2: Units and structures. I have no idea why he thinks it's unrelated.Addictgamer 19:00, 16 June 2007 (UTC)


 * And why are you complaining that it doesn't source anything when you very well know that it can be easily sourced, and I don't know why you are believe that it should be sourced on the first edit. Addictgamer 19:17, 16 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete Wikipedia is not a game guide, nor is it a crustal ball, nor do we accept recreations of already deleted material. TomStar81 (Talk) 19:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This is not a guide - it's a describtion of the cmponents of the game. Addictgamer 19:05, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Read that second link there chief; there was a page just like this here before and it was unceramoniously deleted becuase it violates a whole slue of policies, and now this page meets speedy deletion criteria becuase its a recreation of deleted material. Nothing that you say or do is going to change that. Sorry, buts thats just the way it is. TomStar81 (Talk) 19:08, 16 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete, indeed. Not to mention that it's original research.--Svetovid 19:33, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
