Ranking system in Battlefield 2: Modern Combat[edit]

Game guide article. No value--M8v2 05:17, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Transwiki to here if they want it, else delete. Wikipedia is not a game guide, crufty. Don't forget to delete all the related images. MER-C 12:39, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep. This is an obvious case of misinterpretation of Wikipedia policy. We all agree that Wikipedia should not include game guides - that is, articles where there are instructions, hints, guides, tips, and other text where the article generally instructs the reader how to play the game. What Wikipedia is here for is to state facts and other reference information - and that is all this article does. It is also all the other articles do that this user has put up for deletion. I would really like to know what separates this article from any other game related article. How does this qualify as a game guide? If this article was merged into Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, would that article also be a game guide? A LOT of articles are being put up for deletion by this user, and if they get deleted because of a complete misinterpretation of Wikipedia policy then a lot of work will be wasted. Please consider voting on the other AfD's that this user has decided to start (see here, here, here, here, here, here and here). Remy B 03:14, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. I am also very confused as to why the article has been labelled as "no value". It seems perfectly obvious to me that people could come to Wikipedia to look up the ranking system of this game. It would be a great reference for people wanting to see the various things involved in going up rankings. How is that "no value"? Why would you want to delete something that people would use as a reference? What could possibly be gained? Remy B 03:20, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong delete extreme cruft, fails WP:FICT, sub-topic of game does little to serve the larger topic of game. Does not aid the reader's understanding of the over-all game, but instead lists as if it were a game manual or a collection of trivia. -- Ned Scott 04:45, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete. Very crufty game guide, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information--TBCTaLk?!? 05:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per TBC, MER-C. Transwiki to the BF2 wiki if desired. Angus McLellan (Talk) 08:21, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Game guide, cruft, unencyclopedic, etc. --Calton | Talk 13:30, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete. Anyone who would be interested in this already owns the game and has the manual with this list of ranks. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very strong keep Why in gods name would you delte this? It is very valuable, and just cause you have the game dont mean u have the manual. It is not agame guide, just a reference as to what people who play this game online require to gain that next rank the want — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wacko3.16 (talk • contribs)
  • Extremely Strong Delete By the ANONYMOUS guy aboves definition, this does indeed qualify as a guide, and it's only use is for people who have an illegal version of the game. The Kinslayer 13:44, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
