Candidate for Deletion
And why is this a candidate for deletion, exactly? --Kloga (talk) 10:34, 14 July 2016 (EDT)
- Because if you can't finish a page in six, now seven, years, maybe it wasn't mean to be. Quality, not quantity, remember? --Funkychinaman (talk) 10:47, 14 July 2016 (EDT)
- Seems finished to me and even needing a little bit of a clean-up. --Kloga (talk) 10:50, 14 July 2016 (EDT)
- It's missing caps for two of the weapons. If it was finished, we wouldn't be having this discussion. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:28, 14 July 2016 (EDT)
- Really? Two whole weapons are uncapped and you're going to delete a whole page full of screens and comments? Have you even looked at some of the other pages on IMFDB?Temp89 (talk)
- It'd just be moved to the discussion page. And if you think there are more half-assed pages, you're welcome to nominate a few for deletion. You're also welcome to finish this page. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:13, 14 July 2016 (EDT)
- I can only assume this is some turf war between moderators or something because that's the only reasonable explanation I can find to condemn the page.Temp89 (talk)
- Or you can see the reasonable explanation I wrote earlier today. I tagged this page for deletion last October, and no one has stepped up. How long does it take to finish a page? --Funkychinaman (talk) 17:06, 14 July 2016 (EDT)
- I'd have to agree that deleting it for "lack of effort" when it's mostly done seems like a bit of an overreaction, but if the work that's been put in so far will be moved to the discussion page rather than outright deleted then I say we might as well just go for it now.
