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.

Melee (Tactic)
This page seems rather unnecessary and it sounds more like a strategy guide than an article.

Strong Oppose - I see no reason why we should get rid of it! It could help some players. Also, it has some pretty legit and nice information, and is well put together. Why delete all of that for nothing? TheManOfIron  T  C  E   B 19:50, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - It is an article about a play style commonly seen in the game, which this wiki has a few articles about LITE992 19:58, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Per LITE992. Braden 0.0 01:57, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Teh more teh marryer! (The more the merrier!) TheManOfIron  T  C  E   B 20:00, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Oppose - I made the article to fill a gap, the Knife Monkey tactic is a well known piece of Call of Duty that everyone has come to know and hate (or love if you're doing it). If we have articles for Rushing and Camping, it is only hypocritical to take this off. Smuff 09:43, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Legitimate information; no reason provided for being "unnecessary". --Scottie theNerd 09:48, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - In its current state, this article is a freaking trainwreck, but with a move and some reworking it could be alright. Imrlybord7 13:21, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - Sorry about that Smuff 09:50, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - I was completely unaware that there are pages for camping and rushing. In that case, I feel they should go as well, but whatever. Ant423 19:00, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - This page actually helped me (jurryaany) out alot, and I have worked on it aswell! 01:48, May 9, 2010 (CET)

Oppose - This page is on a legitemit tactic. I believe and agree with Imrlybord7 that it shouldn't be deleted, but cut down to where its an article and not a fanmade strategy guide that may or may not work. Rambo362 00:17, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Robert Bowling
I just don't think it's necessary. He's not a CoD character. There are two sides to the argument, keep him, like we keep the console pages, or delete, because he's irrelevant to the games themselves. I don't need him to play my games, but whatever.

Neutral/Comment - There are some wikis, such as the Half-Life Wiki which are full of "real-world" articles, which includes voice actors, production staff, etc., though I'm not sure exactly what the policy on that is here. That aside, the article could be a little better written. Also, if this article does end up staying, then we'll have to start making more real-world articles Ant423 04:00, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - As a notable staff member, information about him would be relevant to CoD. --Scottie theNerd 07:02, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - WoWWiki has articles for practically every important member of staff, so does Half-Life Wiki, and Halo Wiki. Fourzerotwo is the main source of news in terms of Infinity Ward happenings (Maybe Respawn Entertainment soon enough) and has a place on the wiki. Smuff 09:50, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - I was just wondering, because the voice actors don't have pages. Neither do Treyarch people or any other IW people. Icepac K s 21:03, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Richard Kriegler is the only other employee of a game developer to have an article, as far as I know. 01:08, May 7, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Although you may not need him while playing the games, he is a valuable source of information and relevant to Call of Duty. Keep the article. 18:42, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Per Scottie. <font size="3" color=darkblue>Major <font size="3" color=darkblue>Du <font size="3" color=darkblue>Nn 18:46, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - Perhaps I'm biased as I made the article, but I feel it should stay as he's a very important person regarding Infinity Ward's Call of Duty games, and well-known among the community (whether he's liked or not). The Halo Wiki has an article on their community manager as well, so I don't see a problem. Moozipan Cheese 15:40, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Apple iPhone/iPod touch
It's pathetically short, and doesn't need to be on here. Is not as important as PS3 or Xbox 360.

Support - As nominator. 09:02, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per CoD4. 09:56, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Support - I'd even do away with the other platform articles, as they have nothing directly related to Call of Duty. --Scottie theNerd 10:11, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Scottie 21:16, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Support- No argument, while other platforms are contested this really has no place as all it can run is Nazi Zombies.-- 21:24, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Illuminati Codes
It's pointless

Support - As nominator. 09:08, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Support - But I think it should be merged with the Der Riese page. LITE992 15:49, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per LITE 21:18, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Support-  Like Lite said. <font style="background:black"> Squelliot Talk   Edits   23:44, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Australia
The content of the article has nothing to do with Call of Duty. The article itself even states that Australia has on direct involvement in the Call of Duty series, therefore in accordance to our push for overhauling the wiki to contain only game-related information, I move that we delete this article. --Scottie theNerd 11:33, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Support - COD:G strikes again. This really brings up the question of in-universe related articles, as the only mention of Australia relating to Call of Duty is that some of the characters wear Australian flag patches. 11:38, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Funny you mention this, I was going to bring it up today. Yeah it's pathetic we have this article based on the pretence it appears on a character's arm. Smuff 16:13, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Maybe if it was slightly more involved with the Call of Duty/Modern Warfare series, it could stay, but simply having the flag visible on a soldier's arm isn't really acceptable. Moozipan Cheese 16:32, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - A large number of the 141 soldiers are from the Australian SAS so it warrents a page, if a small one. things like 'kamikaze' have articals. there was hope - while CoD7 was hoped to be in Viet Nam that Australian forces would play a significant part, that there is still a chance they might Agent Tasmania 10:15, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * This has already been addressed in numerous discussions. There is not a "large" number of Australian solders in TF141, and those who are notable enough already have their own articles (see Task Force 141, Rook (Modern Warfare 2)). Having several support characters in a game does not mean that an article about the country they're from. If COD7 does feature Australian involvement, then we'll make an article about the specific Australian unit that is featured rather than the entire country. The history of Australia and the name of its Prime Minister is of no relevance to Call of Duty. --Scottie theNerd 12:06, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Support - Per Scottie. 12:25, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - @Scottie theNerd Right, I guess the voting template is outdated. When does the new one come into play? 12:53, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

All categories under Category:Weapons by Nation
As part of the overhaul, I'd like to push to remove these categories, as they divide weapons based on their country of manufacture, which is not relevant to the Call of Duty games or universe. In-game faction weapons are already easily accessible by weapon templates. --Scottie theNerd 13:41, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

AFD Closed - Articles... erm, categories qualified for speedy deletion under new policies. Imrlybord7 14:17, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Luftwaffe
Article has no use to the wiki, is not mentionned in game and barely acts as an enemy force in game. The entire page is history and does not mention the game at any point.

Support as nominator. Smuff 19:27, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Strong Oppose - They are an enemy fought in Call of Duty: Finest Hour, and in Call of Duty: Big Red one as the forces that attack you from planes. They are featured in Call of Duty, so I don't agree with your reasons. Braden 0.0 19:33, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Comment - So? We don't have ambulance articles, and you get shot by someone in one of those in No Russian. The article has NO information on this game, thus I see no need in it. Smuff 19:45, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Comparing it to the Internal Troops would be a better analogy. The FSB only appears in two (or three if you count the Special Ops mission) levels while the Luftwaffe appears in numerous. 04:20, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - While the current article doesn't have anything to do with the game, the Luftwaffe does have a significant presence in the Call of Duty series, including the first mission in the British campaign in Call of Duty: United Offensive, in which Doyle shoots down half of the Luftwaffe (or somewhere near there <_<). The article should be improved rather than deleted. --Scottie theNerd 07:28, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

No Significance to the Wiki.
