Call of Duty Wiki:Articles for Deletion

Articles for Deletion is where anyone can nominate an article to be deleted for whatever reason, and everyone decides if it should. To bring the article up for deletion, add "" to the top of the respective article, and make a subsection on this page about it.

If the article qualifies for speedy deletion (see criteria for speedy deletion), use "" instead, and don't make a subsection here. An administrator will find it and take care of it.

President of the United States of America
No Significance to the Wiki.

Support- as nominator.  Squelliot Talk   Edits   01:19, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - I made the article to test the boundaries of COD:G. As COD:G is practically defunct and a new policy is in the works, the decision of this AfD will be noted in the policy. It does fulfil the original notability guidelines in COD:G and the Character policy, although the president is never acknowledged as a significant character in COD. However, it is wrong to say that the article as no significance "to the wiki". --Scottie theNerd 07:30, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Support - I put this up for AfD a while ago, for similar reasons to the OP. Sgt. S.S. 18:38, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Has very little significance to any Call of Duty game, other than the dialogue in MW2. Bignicky9 16:46 June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Weak Support - He is barely mentioned in MW2, but if the president has a more important role in a possible MW3, we should put back his page. 17:34, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - What Happy Boy has proposed would work with me. Darkman 4 17:38, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Deleted - Character is only mentioned in Modern Warfare 2 and does not make a direct appearance. 16:13, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Moses Awani
We don't need an article on this guy. He doesn't appear in MW2 ''once. ''I'm pretty sure this qualifies for speedy deletion, but I posted it here just in case. Sgt. S.S. 08:40, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Support as nominator. Sgt. S.S. 08:40, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Really trivial character. Unless he appears as the main character of Black Ops (or something along those lines), he is not notable enough for an article. --Scottie theNerd 09:23, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral leaning support - He never appears, but since he is mentioned in the game, according to COD:G, we have to keep it.  Sgt.  Dunn  21:36, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - COD:G Sgt.Maj. Delta  4-7 21:38, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Delta unless the Granularity policy has changed then it still gets a spot. And per granularity this arguement should be closed.Foxtrot12 21:50, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Completely useless. He doesn't appear in any CoD game at all! 7th Body 01:31, June 9, 2010 (UTC)7th Body

Comment - COD:G is practically defunct, although the new policy isn't yet out. A lot of actions in this interim will influence how the new policy will be effected. --Scottie theNerd 11:19, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Support - If he never appeared in CoD it should be deleted. This is a Call of Duty wikia. Not completley history wikia.

Support Comment Consensus can and always will override policy. Now, give us a good reason why it should stay if you want to oppose. 01:03, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * User lacks required mainspace edits to vote.   404 Error   File Not Found  Please Try Again 01:05, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * No need to strike out the entire thing, at least leave it as a comment. And I've been using Wikia for long enough to be contributing to discussions without being deemed completely unqualified because of a stupid policy, though I will make my edits over time I suppose, if not only to ensure that my opinions can be heard. (I've always believed that IP addresses up through bureaucrats have equal say in all matters not regarding requests for adminship, though I realize that few wikis other than the one I "grew up," using, if you will, see it that way, unfortunately.) It's unfortunate that simply because I choose to not be active in the mainspace of this wiki, I am deemed unqualified to vote. (as it is, extremely large contributions to an article done in one edit, and minor spelling fixes would be deemed equally as one edit- one reason why edit minimums are stupid.) But policies are policies no matter how irrational, I suppose, and when I'm out of my home wiki I guess I'll have to get used to the rules of other wikis. I apologize if this sounds ranty, but I've never been good at organizing thoughts. See you in another 40 edits. (incidentally, the amount of edits I've made will not have had a single darn effect on what I post or how I vote in discussions. Imagine that.) 03:19, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Deleted - Character is only mentioned in Modern Warfare 2 and does not make a direct appearance.

Erwin Rommel and Assosciated Personnel
While this has come up before, tht was before the Real Life Project. Taking this into account, the amount of detail for the assosiated articles would be minimal, and going by the basis we don't have Hunter Two-Three, who is actually heard during gameplay in MW2, the articles no longer serve any purpose for the game, especially after the removal of many other simular articles.

Support - As nominator. Smuff 02:26, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Comment- It does mention "In Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, Rommel is referenced in the mission "The Desert Fox". Lots of IRL info though, but those can be taken out.  MUNCHABLE901   [Talk?]  02:32, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Consensus during the COD:G discussion leaned towards removing historical articles. --Scottie theNerd 10:47, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Comment- That does not mean much really, we don't have articles for Magazines, something Foley gives you in MW2, and if we remove articles such as FluGruger, something we actually see in game, it is ridiculous this man has an article devoted to him. Even if we removed all info, the article would only be 2 lines long, qualifying as a stub. We don't need those, want those and are trying to expand or eradicate them. Smuff 19:16, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Adolf Hitler
I'm sure Darthkenobi0 has more to say about this than I do, but Hitler does not play a significant role throughout the Call of Duty games. If my memory serves me right, he is never mentioned by any of the characters directly in the script. The entire article is a history of the man, and the only items that have any relevance to Call of Duty are some trivia points. 12:24, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Support as nominator. 12:24, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Support - I posted it as an article for deletion because under current policy I believe it qualifies for speedy deletion, I'm not really sure though.

Support - I talked about this in the RL project he has no relevance to COD and hearing his speeches are not enough for an article.Foxtrot12 16:46, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Support as discussed in Granularity thread. --Scottie theNerd 13:49, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Reznov said something about "destroying Hitler's forces," and that's about the only time I remember anything regarding the monster in the games. User:Dave Lopo/Sig 00:59, June 24, 2010 (UTC) User doesn't have 50 mainspace edits Random Man 0213 01:03, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Deleted - Character is only mentioned in the Call of Duty games and does not make a direct appearance.

Carentan (Map)
More of a complex duplicate than a straight-out AFD. We have two articles on Carentan: Carentan (Map) and Carentan, France. Currently, Carentan is a redirect. I propose that we merge both articles into Carentan. Previously, Chiafiend12 argued that "Carentan, France" should be the proper article name as it appears on the COD2 loading screen. However, it is universally referred to as plainly "Carentan" and the article title should reflect that. --Scottie theNerd 11:48, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I never argued that it shouldn't be moved, for reference.
 * In Call of Duty 2, in all three of the three places where I found the map to be named (map select menu, loading screen and in-game score menu) it was always the full "Carentan, France", so it is not universally called "Carentan". 21:08, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, at the moment I can't verify the name from COD1, which should take precedence. By "universal", I meant that all players refer to the map as Carentan, but that's not relevant anyway. --Scottie theNerd 09:34, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Frozen Crossing
While this is a good article, I'm not sure that we should be covering fanmade stuff like videos on the wiki. I am against it because if we covered fanmade stuff, we'd have a ton of fluff articles.

Support - as nominator. Darkman 4 17:30, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support - I believe there is a fanon wiki Blinzy45 17:32, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - There is, but this is a bit different that a lame fan character. 17:34, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
