RuneScape:Requests for deletion

As a Wiki, at times, some pages will be created that are not up to standard. On this page, listed are all the current articles whose value has been questioned. We invite all users to participate in the discussion as to whether these articles are acceptable or not. The pages listed will be voted on to reach a consensus. Once a consensus has been reached or a length of time has passed, an administrator will review the discussion and decide what action should be taken.

To list an article here, simply place on the article, then come to this page and add at the bottom the page name in link style, for example, ==RuneScape==.

Subculture

 * Delete. I see no point in having this page. It doesn't seem helpful and I doubt it can really be expanded. --Richard1990 15:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete it's junk --Eucarya 23:25, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with both of you above. Oddlyoko 16:03, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep If the page gets into a little more depth I would vote for keeping. I think the Subculture category itself is significant enough to keep and expand. Curmudgeony 18:08, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, although it can use some polishing. Hyenaste 22:00, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Small net

 * Delete. This can be covered in the fishing guide. --Richard1990 15:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. At the top of the page is a note saying that this wiki needs to be as granular as possible. If I'm interpreting that correctly, we should keep this page. Oddlyoko 16:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * That "note" is just an opinion voiced by Ace of Risk, isn't it? (If so, I think it should be more clearly separated from the introduction text.) --Paania 21:17, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think this page should be kept, because details like where to find each single item (which people will always try to add) don't need to fill up the entire guide. -- Ricky81682 05:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Oddlyoko. Hyenaste 22:13, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Silver

 * Delete. This can be covered in the mining guide, in the smithing guide, and in the crafting guide. --Richard1990 15:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This can be used to cover both the ore and bar forms, with Item infoboxes for each. Oddlyoko 16:18, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Oddlyoko. -- Ricky81682 05:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Sapphire

 * Delete. This can be covered in the crafting guide. --Richard1990 15:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. At the top of the page is a note saying that this wiki needs to be as granular as possible. If I'm interpreting that correctly, we should keep this page. Oddlyoko 16:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Oddlyoko and because this allows an easy reference point to everything that can be done with sapphires in one place. -- Ricky81682 05:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Make a gems entry and put all the gems in it Couchpotato99 06:32, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Raw chicken

 * Delete. This can be included in chicken. --Richard1990 15:14, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree. Oddlyoko 16:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I also agree. Lildogg747 16:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. All of the above =P --Death motor 02:37, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per all. Hyenaste 22:14, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Agreed.--Curmudgeony 15:00, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * If I don't get a keep vote within a week, i'll delete it. --Eucarya 00:04, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to chicken. --Ixfd64 21:42, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * ''This article is now a redirect to Chicken --Eucarya 08:26, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Inventory

 * Delete. This can be covered in another guide, possibly the Lumbridge Newbies Guide. The guide can hold the basics of the game and what each menu does. --Richard1990 15:20, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, but rather include it in a tutorial island article. Oddlyoko 16:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Getting Started

 * Delete. The information on this page could be put on the main page. --Richard1990 15:21, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, but include it in a tutorial island article.
 * Delete. If it's not a disambiguation page, it shouldn't be just links. Hyenaste 18:16, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll get rid of it as soon as someone folds this article and inventory into Tutorial Island, which seems to be the proper place for it. --Eucarya 08:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Fire Strike

 * Delete. This can be covered in the magic guide. --Richard1990 15:22, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I think that the seven or so articles in Category:Spells show that individual spells are starting to get their own articles. -- Ricky81682 05:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - all spells should have their own detailed articles. Shadowdancer 06:16, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I also think that all spells should have their own articles. I think the same for prayers, too. Couchpotato99 06:24, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Feather

 * Delete. This can be included in chicken. --Richard1990 15:32, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Feathers are also found in other places than just from chickens. It's involved in fishing in well, which the chicken article wouldn't explain that well. -- Ricky81682 05:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Feathers are used in the Fishing skill, and therefore warrant their own article. Shadowdancer 06:15, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Earth Strike

 * Delete. This can be included in chicken. --Richard1990 15:22, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * WHAT!?!? Rofl! Ok, seriously, I'll get right on redirecting this. Oddlyoko 16:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I think that the seven or so articles in Category:Spells show that individual spells are starting to get their own articles. -- Ricky81682 05:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Emerald

 * Delete. This can be included in the crafting guide. --Richard1990 15:24, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. At the top of the page is a note saying that this wiki needs to be as granular as possible. If I'm interpreting that correctly, we should keep this page. Oddlyoko 16:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Oddlyoko and because this allows an easy reference point to everything that can be done with emeralds in one place. -- Ricky81682 05:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Cooking items

 * Delete. This can be covered in the cooking guide. --Richard1990 15:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree. Oddlyoko 16:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete but it might be useful as a category. -- Ricky81682 05:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * DELETED --Eucarya 08:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Bones

 * Delete. This can be covered in the prayer guide.
 * Keep. This could be better used to list the types of bones there are with Item infoboxes for each.
 * Keep This is useful as a separate item from other types of bones (big bones for example). -- Ricky81682 05:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Adamant kiteshield

 * Delete. This item does not need its own page. --Richard1990 15:29, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. At the top of the page is a note saying that this wiki needs to be as granular as possible. If I'm interpreting that correctly, we should keep this page. Oddlyoko 16:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Oddlyoko and given the volume of individual item articles, it is fine. -- Ricky81682 05:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Current events

 * Delete. It's pointless to post news here when it can be read on the RuneScape website, and no one seems to want to update this page anyway. --X1011 19:00, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I dare you to see what happens to the left navigation menu when you remove Current events. (And I've stated enough times, I'm going to do it!) Oddlyoko 20:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I thought it was more for changes at RuneScapeWiki and may be useful for major RuneScape changes. -- Ricky81682 05:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete There's nothing there... Couchpotato99 06:28, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep This is useful for things that may have happened, but might have not been listed in the Current Events page at the RuneScape main page. Huanghe63 03:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Category:Metal
I'd say delete and create Category:Metals to store Category:Bronze, Category:Iron, etc. -- Ricky81682 20:19, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

delete Page Category:Metals has been created.--Curmudgeony 15:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Category:Jewellry
Can an administrator quickly delete this, as the correct category is Category:Jewellery? -- Ricky81682 21:21, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Image:Bronze dragon.png
Unused image redundant with Image:Bronze dragon.PNG -- Ricky81682 23:14, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Drop logs
I feel like I'm the only one here, but we should delete Dust Devil/Dust Devil Drop Log, Basilisk/Basilisk Drop Log, Jelly/Jelly Drop Log and Turoth/Turoth Drop Log as we don't need to keep track of drops of individual monsters. -- Ricky81682 18:42, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep They aren't doing any harm and its interesting to see the percentages.  Just because we don't need one for every monster doesn't mean we should delete already made ones, does it?  Also, whats the right way to add a comment here?  Like with the timestamp and everything
 * Keep well, I added most of the logs - with enough data proper drop percentages can be calculated. It would be nice to know, for example, how often fire giants actually drop dragon medium helms no? (time and date sig is done with 2 minus signs and 4 tildes, button at top of edit window) --82.35.227.215 07:16, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, to work anything useful out of them you'd need ridiculously large amounts of kills, quite possibly more than any one person has done. And you don't need 2 minus signs, just 4 tildes (~). Vimescarrot 07:52, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * sorry, wasn't logged in at the time hehee, er, the idea was that yes, you'd need a ridiculous number of kills, but with more than 1 contributor, it's possible. I don't know, if i don't get another keep, i'll delete em.  --Eucarya 00:06, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Move to user namespace. They may be useful later. Hyenaste 00:08, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - we don't need drop logs as articles; if anything, condensed versions can be added to existing monster articles. Shadowdancer 03:26, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Goblin (2)
We don't have an article on goblins yet, but frankly Goblin (2) sucks and is useless as a redirect. Hyenaste 20:16, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, delete, I'm not a fan of 'stub only' articles either, i'd prefer them as Wanted pages or not there at all, or they tend to get lost. --Eucarya 00:07, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Combatf
It redirected to a nonexistant, never-should-exist page. Not sure what it is for. Hyenaste 20:42, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * gawn, yes, pointless --Eucarya 00:09, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Main Page&lang=fr
Unnecesary page. Was a broken redirect. Hyenaste 20:43, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * it's gone, if runewiki france starts up, we'll point to it properly eh? --Eucarya 00:10, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

The God Wars
A really obscure redirect created by a page move. Hyenaste 21:48, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Category:Dragon
This category has been replaced by Category:Dragon metal--Curmudgeony 16:25, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. As seen on the dragon page, dragon refers to a lot more than just the red metal. The cat can be useful for all colors of dragon, Elvarg, the dhide, and the metal. Both should exist. Hyenaste 11:25, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Image:Wikivarrock.JPG
Replaced by image:wikivarrock.PNG Hyenaste 14:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Image:Bronze dragon.png
Unused and identical to Image:Bronze dragon.PNG. Hyenaste 15:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I added that sorry, my fault, get rid --Eucarya 23:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Empty Quest Stubs
Having empty stubs for Between a rock... and 'Throne of Miscellania quests are pointless, it's far better to have them appear in the Special:Wanted pages area so that someone will know that they need work, rather than have no content and just a stub! --Eucarya 23:47, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Actually, we need a speedy delete template for just this occasion. Hyenaste 23:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll wait until i get a few more in agreement before deleting, i know a lot of people use the wiki special pages very differently to me =) --Eucarya 23:47, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete! Delete! Er...sorry. :p I think it's more likely that the article would get created if someone saw it as a red link rather than a blue one. Vimescarrot 06:58, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep (Throne of Miscellania) - I plan to write this one up personally today/tomorrow. Shadowdancer 06:18, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Did this get updated or am I missing something? I don't see the stubs, rather red links (which i think is the best way).
 * Comment:Check Between a Rock... and Throne of Miscellania. Neither are redlinked. [[image:Green party hat.PNG|16px]] Hyenaste talk 06:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, sorry, I thought it said the quests "Between a rock..." through "Throne of Miscellania. -- Couchpotato99 20:31, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Dragon Long Sword, Dragon Dagger, Dragon Mace, Dragon Axe, Dragon Halberd
These are all redirects to other articles, because usually only the first word of an item's entry is capitalized. They usued to be neccesarry because the Dragon weapons article had the names spelled that way. Couchpotato99 19:40, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. These are used for the search box. If someone types in "Dragon Dagger", it should redirect to "Dragon dagger", not give them an empty page. This prevents sub-standard versions of already complete pages from being created. [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 19:56, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * If someone types in "Dragon Dagger" and clicks "Go" and no article with that name is found, it brings up the search page. And on the search page, the first article would be "Draggon dagger." I don't think its a problem to not have the exact article cause it's not that hard to find. Couchpotato99 20:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Why should we have the middle step of finding the appropriate page in a list? The redirect is there for convenience: when someone types in "Dragon Dagger", they want "Dragon dagger", not a page of slightly related links. [[image:Green party hat.PNG|14px]] Hyenaste talk 20:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Zezima
Probably should be a protected deleted article. Hyenaste talk 07:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - I do not believe we should allow articles about specific players. If RuneScape players want to sign up to the wiki they can have their own user page. Shadowdancer 23:55, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - the poor guy gets enough attention as it is. As per Hyenaste, a protected deleted article. --Eucarya 08:24, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Basilisk/Basilisk Drop Log
What's the point of having seperate drop logs as their own article? Clogs up the wiki in my opinion. Shadowdancer 00:36, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
