Call of Duty Wiki:Articles for Deletion/Treyarch/Call of Duty 3 employees

Treyarch/Call_of_Duty_3_employees (history - links - logs)

It's currently linked from Treyarch#Employees as a main article, but considering that CoD3 is nearly ten years old it's entirely possible that many employees have either retired, been fired, or new ones have joined. I don't think this page serves much purpose anymore, especially since the exact same information is available in the credits. If the page was to be kept we should either create new pages for other games or make a current list of all staff if possible.

Split/Merge

Move - I had no idea where to put this option, but looking below it gives me a better idea. Instead of deleting it, we rename the page so it is instead a credits page for Call of Duty 3. I feel that have a full list of credits on hand is a good bit of information, and if anyone actually happens to be looking for credits it makes it easier than playing the game (no one makes videos of credits).

Comments/Questions

Question — Is this page basically the credits page for CoD3 or is it a list of employees at Treyarch? If it's a light copy of the credits for CoD3 then I don't see why it should be deleted. We should just have a page for every iteration of employees per game. KλT 23:19, January 8, 2016 (UTC)

The main issue I had with it is that it was representing the main article for the employees section on the Treyarch article, which is outdated for obvious reasons. A credits page for every game does sound like a good idea though. exacri 23:52, January 8, 2016 (UTC)

I feel like that's a better course of action. It's useful information to have if someone needs it. Plus I can't remember anyone in recent memory who has wanted to watch the entirety of the credits after beating a game. KλT 00:15, January 9, 2016 (UTC)

I don't know, seems like a pretty pointless page to have IMO and I don't really see how it's all that useful, especially considering that only one page links to the article, which means that it's not like it's information that's really used elsewhere on the wiki. Conqueror of all Zombies (talk) 09:17, January 9, 2016 (UTC)

Why is it pointless? It's information. We're a wiki, that's the whole reason we're here man. If someone wants to know the exact team responsible for creating x game, I say hell yeah. More information available isn't something that should be deemed unworthy because it doesn't exist or because you personally don't find it useful. I say we make separate pages per game to make it useful. KλT 11:30, January 9, 2016 (UTC)

This page (and others like it) seem like they'd be pretty unnotable. The current page is linked to only one page and (as far as I'm aware) isn't referenced on any other mainspace page on the wiki. We are not a database of every employee who worked on every CoD game, and I don't see how more pages like this would make any of them useful. Conqueror of all Zombies (talk) 21:04, January 9, 2016 (UTC)

we are a database for call of duty however, and the employees who worked on the game are a part of call of duty, as are the credits. plus itd make it easier to sift through everyone who worked on the games - figure out who did what - for both us and our readers.

Yes, we are a database for CoD, but there's a reason we don't cover every employee of the many developers for the franchise, and it's that they're not notable. And I don't see how knowing who did what for everything during the development would help the wiki, and I don't know what it'd make easier. Conqueror of all Zombies (talk) 22:56, January 9, 2016 (UTC)

people might wanna know who did what in the game though. this way people could see, for example, maybe who the chief designer of maps in a game is, or who all the people were who worked on the weapons.

@COAZ It's not like we're making a page for every single employee, just a collective page for them. Per RisingSun, if someone wanted to know who worked on a game, then the list is completely valid. http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/276/1/2/bionicle__unity_duty_destiny_by_cyberpictures-d6p3li2.pngLegos-Rule-15 ^Talk 00:03, January 10, 2016 (UTC)
