List of F.E.A.R. weapons[edit]

Wikipedia is not a game manual. This should be deleted just as the list of Halo weapons and List of vehicles in Halo 2 were. Phoenix Hacker 03:37, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and then Delete Merge with the main F.E.A.R. article. I will merge now. :) Valoem talk 05:40, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete gamecruft, non-NPOV. -- Koffieyahoo 05:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, merge with F.E.A.R. main article not applicable, that article is already large enough. Please suggest what content should be removed from this weapons' article, so that we can edit or, eventually merge with F.E.A.R. if final size is small enough.

Merge and then delete Allright, I checked out the contents and must agree most of those made the article look like a game guide. I've already condensed most of the contents into the main F.E.A.R. article, so feel free to go ahead with the deletion. Berserker79 10:07, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and then Delete Merge with the main F.E.A.R. article. Some of our attention spans are capable of dealing with long articles. -- GWO

*Keep and clean up The article could use some pruning, but is fairly sure to still be too long to merge. This isn't inherrently game guide material, even if parts of the article currently read that way. This isn't game guide material and is critical to explain what F.E.A.R. is to someone who hasn't played it. Not covering the guns in a first-person shooter would be like not covering the characters in a novel. Someone seems to have changed this to speedy deletion after less than 24 hours per a supposed consensus, which is bad form. Ace of Sevens 05:52, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - first off, indeed the AfD shouldn't have changed to speedy deletion, esp with the AfD discussion having barely begun. I've taken the liberty of reverting it. As for the article, in my opinion the material covered here is already mentioned sufficiently in the main article for F.E.A.R (thanks to Valoem's work, apparently). The separate article supplements it with detail that, while intriguing, still could be considered crufty. -- H·G (words/works) 06:20, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I looked at the main F.E.A.R. article and htis is indeed covered pretty well. I guess I underestimated the amount of fluff in this article. So delete as redundant. Already covered in suffficient detail elsewhere.Ace of Sevens 06:24, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As a side note, I'd simply like to point out that F.E.A.R. (computer game) did not contain "redundant" info prior to this AfD nomination: simply I've worked on a "condensed" version of the contents of the weapons article (after its nomination) and added it to the main article, so this may account for the "presumed redundancy". On the other hand, Valoem's previous merge of the full list article resulted in a massive size increase of F.E.A.R. (ironically the weapons article was created because users asked to split the too large main article), compelling me to shorten all the stuff, still trying to make sure the relevant contents were kept.

  • Merge then Delete some of the information in this article is important to the game, it should be highlighted in the F.E.A.R. page.--Mofomojo 02:28, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
