List of Total Annihilation mods[edit]

The article was deleted per WP:PROD without any objections. Just two hours later, it was recreated by a new user, who did a bad copy&paste job of the article. Because the article is quite unreadable like this, and was, as I thought, recreation of deleted content, I put a speedy tag on it. This was removed tho, and I was told that speedy deletion isn't allowed on articles that were deleted through WP:PROD. According to the contesting after deletion section, I undeleted the article and list it here for everyone to decide what to do with it. --Conti|✉ 01:37, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete mods aren't self-sufficiently notable. Danny Lilithborne 02:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or Merge back into the Total Annihilation article. This article is a bit long, and so I can understand why it was seperated into a daughter article, but if you really don't want it as an article, outright deletion is still not a good idea.

  • Delete. This is a glorified linkfarm to mods that likely aren't notable. The handful that are notable should be mentioned in the main article, not this one. GarrettTalk 04:59, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Pretty much a linkfarm, and I don't see how it could ever realistically not be just a collection of external links. Wickethewok 05:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Nothing glorified about it, it is nothing more than a linkfarm. Resolute 05:26, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While I know Spring achieves notability due it being mentioned more than once in PC Zone magazine, the rest of these don't seem to be notable in the slightest. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of information, which this quite clearly is. (I know some people don't like rules and guidelines being thrown around, but you have to concede it's true in this case.) The Kinslayer 08:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, nn list of external links. Deizio talk 09:42, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Garrett. Recury 16:44, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Delete it. flipjargendy 16:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Useful information - does not require it's own page. warfire 00:15, 13 October (UTC)
    • Useful how? Please state HOW this would prove useful to anyone other than the creators of the mods seeking increase public awareness of their work (and therefore falling foul of advertising on wiki.) The Kinslayer 12:23, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Useful It provides information for users of the game - it may be advertising and bias but any listing is basically advertising. If I wanted to know about Total Annihilation I would read the article - perfectly acceptable. A large part of the experience of playing Total Annihilation IS the mods so having a list of available mods to try is in keeping with the spirit of the article. warfire 16:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, Garret and Kinslayer. JoshuaZ 20:59, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge the popular mods per Warfire-- I skimmed the TA page and did not see any mention of popular mods there so I'm guessing all that is relevant is here. I disagree that the popular mods would fall under advertising anymore than having TA itself here as an article would count as advertising for Cavedog entertainment. Move the information on popular mods (as judged by the article) to the TA page. Edit: I only found 1 mod mentioned in the TA page. So I vote Merge. Here is my proposal: Move Spring, Uberhack, and anything else considered significant to the TA page as brief mentions in the Extensibility section. -- Solberg 03:10, 14 October 2006 (UTC)Solberg[reply]
  • Delete as unmaintainble. While individual mods might be notable, they can have their own articles and links from the main Total Annihilation page. --Alan Au 05:48, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- I love TA, but this is just a collection of links, something WP is not. SkerHawx 22:40, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Kinslayer. Markovich292 03:36, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
