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 "" or "" 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.

Gas mask (weapon)
There are two articles about the same gas mask, this one and the one I created. I believe that we should delete this one, but add the information from this article to the one that I made, considering that it talks about the Gas Mask in general and not just when the player puts it on. The Gas Mask also is not a weapon, since it is never used to kill, but it is equipped by the player, so that means that the name of it will show up where the primary weapon's name is. -User:JerryWiffleWaffle 22:40, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

Rebirth Island

 * Alright, but you have to admit, if this isn't deleted, it should be at least rewritten. It's not even a description of the island, just a summary of the beginning of Rebirth.  2:01, January 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * That calls for a rewrite, not a deletion. Smuff [ The cake is a lie.  ] 00:59, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * I said At least. I also don't understand whats notable about it. Yes it is mentioned more than once, but taking up 30 minutes of the players life... ANY mission can take 30 minutes. That is not a legitimate reason. 02:34, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Considering the AfD mentions Kowloon, which wasn't deleted, that statement kind of supports my view rather than yours. COD:NOTABLE. Smuff [  The cake is a lie.  ] 20:07, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

 * Why the hell did we oppose it? That was not notable in any way, and anyone who says it is referred to more than once, guess what, that maybe so, but the article still has no importance whatsoever. Speak up if you have a legitimate reason as to why this is important, then make pages for EVERY GODDAM LOCATION covered by the same guideline. 05:30, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Chickens
Do we really need this? It's not at all notable, and really, chickens have absolutely nothing to do with Call of Duty.We don't have pages for the other animals in Call of Duty. I actually think it should be speedy deleted, to be perfectly honest.

2:14, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Chickens actually are related to an achievement of COD:MW2. DarkLocustSlayer 10:21, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

This is a very healthy article with plenty of information. This wiki is supposed to cover EVERYTHING about the Call of Duty series and this information is interesting to people. Also, There is a trophy and achievement related to chickens as well as an emblem and a few titles about them.Mamemamo1 19:09, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Like I have said, anything pertaining to the goddam trophy can be written in the goddam trophy's article. And how the fuck is this notable in any way? And not to mention there is hardly any information on this article. And your statement about everything being covered is wrong. That falls under COD:GRANULARITY, a policy retired for very good reasons. 05:23, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

 * The first sentence reads: "In Call of Duty, reload canceling is a tactic used to decrease reload time which buys precious seconds in intense firefights." Even the article calls it a tactic. 05:18, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * That would be why I said it is badly written as an article. It just needs to be cleaned up, not deleted. - 14:44, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Nacht der Untoten/Strategies, Verruckt/Strategies, Shi No Numa/Strategies, Der Riese/Strategies, Kino der Toten/Strategies, and "Five"/Strategies
All these articles just SCREAM subjective material. The topic of tactics/strategies has been brought about quite frequently as of late, so I feel these prime examples of such pages should be deleted.

 * I forget who posted it, but someone said that "Three pages of subjective and opinionated material can be shaved down to a few well written paragraphs containing nothing but facts." I find this very true, and as such, anything that supposedly helped you in zombies through a Tactics page could be converted into a factual format and placed on the page, with room to spare. <span style="-moz-border-radius-topleft:15px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:15px; border:4px ridge maroon; -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; background-color:black"> Shotrocket6  Talk 16:56, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

 * These are subpages? In that case we should keep them. I did not realize that. I'm going to change my vote. Thanks for pointing that out, Smuff.


 * So what if they're subpages? They're still part of the mainspace. I literally have no idea why the fact that they're subpages should sway your decision whatsoever; subpages are there for the purpose that the section for the same thing on the main page was beginning to get too lengthy. <span style="-moz-border-radius-topleft:15px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:15px; border:4px ridge maroon; -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; background-color:black"> Shotrocket6  Talk 16:52, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * It sways my decision because that just means they are redirects, and while they may be part of the mainspace, they are not independent. And really, those pages were to lengthy for a strategy guide to be placed there. 05:37, January 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * To be honest I believe this is just deleting for the sake of it, we've had users come in all the time on IRC looking for strategy pages, (you aren't there much so you wouldn't know as much about the subject). If a user wants to find tactics, they are there. As I said before they cause little problem, don't spam up Recent Changes and are only there to help. Not only that, the pages are (somewhat) rather well written, the only thing I can see it that it is generally written around "you" rather than "the player," however that would most likely be a rather strange way to convey the information, so I see no problem with the pages what so ever. Smuff [ The cake is a lie.  ] 20:01, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll pretend you didn't just say that tactics pages are "well written".
