List of Gears of War weapons[edit]

List of Gears of War weapons (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Original research, unencyclopedic detail, Talk:Gears of War#Weapons previously decided not to create such a list --Scottie theNerd 22:24, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It says where the information came from over the Lancer Rifle stats table. This article doesn't need to be deleted, it needs to be contributed to, in the likes of Weapons in Half-Life 2 DASGames 22:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: A forum post is hardly a credible source, though perhaps I have mistaken the OR as an edit from the Gears of War page itself. As discussion on the GOW talk page is strongly against mentioning any sort of weapon without reference to its significance from credible sources, I am under the impression that a GOW weapons list is not warranted. I am also confused by various weapon lists being deleted while others are kept. Currently, the HL2 weapons article is more informative than a technical rundown, which belongs more on StrategyWiki. If I'm not mistaken, Wikipedia is discouraging game guide pages such as this GOW weapons list. --Scottie theNerd 23:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as it is not strictly against code or regulation. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.34.40.19 (talk) 04:10, 19 December 2006 (UTC). (Note: new voter)[reply]
  • Delete as it is a game guide. It could be better served as strategyWiki or egamia.com. Koweja 00:04, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:not a game guide. As to the above, sourcing is one basic wiki requirement, but not enough to save something that fails the WP:not test... Wintermut3 04:33, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and Koweja. - WJBscribe (WJB talk) 05:55, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nominator. Thunderbrand 13:25, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nominator, wikipedia is not a gaming guide. Stats on weapons like this is exactly the sort of content that should be in a gaming wiki. See guidelines for the WikiProject Scope of Information "A general rule of thumb to follow if unsure: if the content only has value to people actually playing the game, it's unsuitable."--Oscarthecat 21:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Wikipedia rules and general consensus regarding deletion --Jecrell 22:35, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The weapons need to be mentioned somewhere and listed as they add unique characteristics to the game. However the stats could easily be removed and are unneeded. They are a pivital part of the game as many of them are the games signatures (IE Lancer rifle) --AllTeam 10:34, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: The weapons are not the game's signatures. The only "selling point" of the game is the Lancer, and based on consensus in Talk:Gears of War#Weapons, it isn't enough to warrant a section within the article, let alone a standalone article. Nothing in the list adds anything special to the game and are certainly not pivotal; just because a game has weapons doesn't mean you need to create a list talking about all of them. Detailed lists can go on StrategyWiki; there's nothing special about GOW weapons. --Scottie theNerd 16:14, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Wikipedia's notability policy. Bignole 21:28, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - when you strip it away, you have a pistol, a shotgun, a sniper rifle and two types of machinegun - nothing at all notable or interesting about those within the context of shoot-em-ups. delete. --Charlesknight 21:37, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
