Dorgesh-Kaan Thieving and Firemaking

I can find nothing to suggest that thieving and firemaking in Dorgesh-Kaan has even been designated as a specific activity by Jagex. The page seems to have been created by someone wanting to promote this as a training method. These days it is not a popular activity for players and a walkthrough on how to do it is not at all necessary. Relevant information can already be found elsewhere e.g. Dorgesh-Kaan Average Chest, Dorgesh-Kaan Rich Chest and Dorgesh-Kaan#Thieving.

Merge - It shouldn't have its own page. Perhaps turn it into a skill training guide? I used to train Thieving in Dorgesh-Kaan and it's pretty good for mid-level thieves. Otherwise, if all information is already on the mentioned pages, get rid of it. Fswe1 16:34, April 11, 2017 (UTC)

Oppose in current state - Because the information is not currently duplicated anywhere else, and it would be foolish to delete it without thoroughly making sure we're not losing anything in the process. In particular, the map and Thieving walkthrough remain useful. "...these days it is not a popular activity for players" is an entirely unconvincing argument -- I have never felt that content obsolescence is a good reason for deleting guides in these sorts of situations. It remains (more or less, modulo energy considerations) the best way to do Dorgesh-Kaan Thieving, so why not keep that information? What tends to happen in RfDs like this is, we talk about how the information could go somewhere else (or maybe even point to fragments of it in other places), which convinces other people to support deletion...but in the end, the information that was unique to that page never sticks around. Don't be fooled this time. ʞooɔ 08:20, April 14, 2017 (UTC)

I might have agreed, if the activity itself wasn't so ... inefficient. For Firemaking, it was released at a time when log prices were higher and you didn't have bonfires. Now? Yew Logs are 1 gp/xp. Yes, lightbulbs give the same rate, but hunting down a spot with a burned out spot? "XP waste". In addition, as a thieving training method, again, going into each house to steal from a chest and then move on to the next, and the chests themselves have a respawn rate (so if someone else gets to it first ... ). tl;dr - poor training method, obsolete info. --Deltaslug (talk) 13:04, April 14, 2017 (UTC)

My point is that there's a distinction between a poor training method and obsolete information. ʞooɔ 19:27, April 14, 2017 (UTC)

Comment - Of course the relevant information should be moved to the appropriate locations. Salix of Prifddinas ^(Talk) 19:50, April 14, 2017 (UTC)

What information do you consider to be relevant? ʞooɔ 19:57, April 14, 2017 (UTC)
