Sniper Teams One and Two
Edit
Sniper Team One's information is all covered in the articles for Smith and Scully, whilst Sniper Team Two's information is covered in the articles for Archer and Toad. These articles are useless and repetitive. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 11:43, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — Though you do have a point, it would only serve to undermine the comprehensiveness of the wiki. Why not delete Special Air Service or US Army? The information there is also covered in other articles. We're not here to downsize, we're here to be the best source possible for all information regarding Call of Duty. Just because something is repetitive doesn't mean it's not valid. Chief z 22:49, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — I feel they should stay. Cpl. Dunn(Talk) 01:15, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
Comment — The SAS and US Army are completely different examples. The US Army nearly every single Call of Duty game so far, whilst the SAS is a broad force with numerous different factions. If you look at the two articles nominated, the only information contained are the biographies and Trivia of Archer, Smith, Toad and Scully. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 03:54, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
- The SAS is a regiment within the British military. It itself is not even one faction.
Sgt. ChiafriendRifleman 00:37, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
Comment — My terminology is used for convenience, its accuracy is not relevant here. My point still stands, however. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 01:24, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
Comment — Okay, perhaps that was a bad example, but my other point still stands. We are the most comprehensive source of information for Call of Duty. If you feel that they're just a repetition of their members' articles, then perhaps you should rewrite them in a way that it's not, instead of suggesting we delete them. To me, deleting the two seems like the easy way out. Chief z 08:32, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
Strong Oppose — Just because we don't have to consolidate, doesn't mean we shouldn't. A while back I argued to keep the Stalingrad article because it listed all appearances of said city in Call of Duty, whilst others argued that the information was found elsewhere, honestly why not just keep consolidated pages for information? Some people might remember "Sniper Team Two" but not "Archer and Toad", keep them for convenience. --Good editing! Darthkenobi0(talk) 01:30, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — If there isn't any new or unique information between the articles, then we should merge and redirect instead of delete. However, I feel that both the Sniper Teams and their respective members have notability. --Scottie theNerd 09:43, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — Well it's about teams and what they do while a team. It wouldn't have enough info if they were just seperate articles.

B-52 Stratofortress
Edit
This is Rolling Thunder. What's the point of having it as an article when the article Rolling Thunder already lists the name of the aircraft? They both are the same thing, but Rolling Thunder has less real life info. (Which is good.)
Sgt. SpetSnAZ CM 17:35, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
Support — As nominator.
Sgt. SpetSnAZ CM 17:35, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — We have articles on the AH-64, which is basically the Chopper Gunner. Also, as the AH-64 appears in the campaign, the B-52 could play a significant role in a campaign mission too, meaning if this was deleted it would only have to be created again.
Eltomo85 talk 18:43, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — Eltomo85 is right. Having a separate page for each vehicle, plane, heli etc. is a good thing and it expands the whole connection between the vehicle and it's use in SP/MP. Sgt.Frank Woods 19:38, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
Comment — Until then, there is no need for it.
Just saying, your making it sound like it's a big deal creating the article again.
Sgt. SpetSnAZ CM 19:33, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
Comment — What if it doesn't appear in SP? I just feel there is no need for 2 articles that are the same exact thing.
Sgt. SpetSnAZ CM 19:50, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — So? We have an article on the C-130 which drops the Emergency Airdrop. The B-52 falls into the exact same category. Furthermore, There is no point deleting just it because we don't know much about itif we were to operate on that basis then this article still has more legitimacy than some of Black Ops' weapons pages which aren't even fully confirmed. I made this article because it filled a hole of legitimate information.
Smuff 19:53, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — We must have a page for the vehicle AND a SEPARATE page for its MP/killstreak counterpart, the same way we have an article on the Bridgelayer and another one on Big Foot. They are the same thing too, but need to be both covered by articles, as other Brigdelayers (or even B-52s) may appear on the series. Also, the B-52 article should be used to describe the plane, its appearences, trivia etc. and the Rolling Thunder article to cover what the plane does in MP, its own trivia, maybe an infobox... Panther64 00:00, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
Comment — If Panther64 is right, we'll need to create a page for the SR-71 vehicle itself, and another for it's multiplayer counterpart.

nlmgr
Comment — like what?--Super2k 22:31, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
Support — I agree to delete it. But we have to fuse it with quick scoping and call it "Scoping Techniques" GunsSwordsFlames 02:38, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — It's not like quick-scoping. Similar, but not. SSDGFCTCT9 (Talk) 22:43, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
Comment — I just think that they are each small enough that they warrant one all-encompassing article--Super2k 22:48, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
- That's slightly irrelevant, as the Wiki has plenty of small articles, but because they pertain about different elements, they get their own article. SSDGFCTCT9 (Talk) 22:54, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
Support — No-scoping is not a tactic at all; it's a feat of luck and luck alone. I don't think it even warrants a mention here. Quickscoping is an actual tactic and is useable
Yüri Kaslov
23:05, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
Merge into Quickscope. Both are terms that are heavily used and engrained in the COD community, regardless of what you may think of it. Not sure it's detailed enough to warrant its own article. Maybe even just a mention in a glossary or something. bibliomaniac15 03:38, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
Support — It's not so much a technique as much as it is left-clicking without aiming first. It's a term that is already mentioned in the glossary and does not need an article to embellish it. --Scottie theNerd 06:04, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — No, it's a form of shooting a lot of people don't know about. Quick scoping and No scoping are different things.
Sgt. SpetSnAZ CM 02:33, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
- No scoping is as much as a technique as pushing the fire button. It's not a technique; it's a term. --Scottie theNerd 03:49, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Support — Now I think about it, they are both just technique articles. We don't have a hipfire article do we? -

Support — Just merge it into Quickscope/Noscope like above. It'd help a bunch more to people too. YellowRiolu-Always on Xbox. 15:31, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — No Scoping is NOT Quick Scoping. LITE992 16:01, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Support — By the sound of it this map is about as real as Courtyards. If it is fake it shouldn't be there.
Seijana 08:53, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — The Fast File doesn't necessarily have to be in the game for the map's loadscreen to be displayed. The loadscreen image files are kept separate from the FastFiles; they are instead kept in the IWI files.
Furthermore, the maps are referenced in the game's code. Using the available Fast File Viewer program, one can view the updated MP Fast Files that came with the Stimulus Package and view the code that references Oil Rig (as well as Vertigo and Gulag).
I also recall seeing the game fail to load the map when the player tries to play on the map, giving the player an error message saying "mp_oilrig.ff cannot be found" (or something to that extent). EON 8 22:30, November 29, 2010 (UTC)
Yes, the maps are referenced in game code, but nothing more than reference can be found in game. >SiPlus -talk -contributions_ 18:38, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

11:44, November 19, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — If all technique pages go, so be it. However, prefire is a valid tactic and one that I had to look up after some players kept talking about it online. I came to this wiki to find the answer (as I always do) and there was no information about it until I added it. --DoomGoober 00:07, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Support — Should be on another website, such as a strategy guide. This wiki talks about subjects within the Call of Duty universe. "Camping" has nothing to do with Call of Duty. It is a multiplayer tactic that players came up with. John "Soap" MacTavish, for example, IS a COD-related subject. --Ant423 23:49, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

First-Person Shooter

Not particularly relevant to Call of Duty; fairly vague article and mostly IRL info. not necessary as most people who play CoD will know what an FPS is.

- Castro is the mission objective, which the General is not

Strong Support — Per Cod addictCpl.Bohater 19:14, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
The sleeping VC play a significantly more important role than two random Wermacht guards or executed POWs. Their appearance never changes, they are unique in that few characters are ever seen sleeping in the game, and the player can determine their fates. I say, keep them. LyHungViet - 21:37, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
Comment — Granulatity isn't even enforced any more, so the nomination is invalid. --Callofduty4 21:43, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
Support — Call of Duty Wiki:Notability states that only characters with fixed names or who play a part in several missions get an article. These don't, and they aren't even interacted with. Not deserving of an article at all. --Callofduty4 21:45, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
They are interacted with. You put your hand over their mouths and stab them to death! These two characters play a part in the mission's storyline, therefore they are important enough characters in the game. Furthermore, Castro's mistress doesn't have a fixed name in game and only plays a part in one mission, yet still has her own article.
Comment — What, they are stabbed?! Their throats were slit, not 'stabbed'. Get your facts right.
Bravo Five-Nine Talk 22:03, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Actually LyHyungViet is right, they ARE stabbed. Thrusting the "pointy" end of the knife into anything is, by default "stabbing". Slitting would be dragging the blade-side of the knife across. And mason does the former, not the latter. YuriKaslov 22:05, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

Comment — We also save a hostage at the end of Mile High Club, but we don't have a page for him nor his captor. This is due to notability purposes, as it is not feasible to cover anything and everything. Additionally, I find the arguments that because "page x" exists that "page y" should as well, rather irrelevant. This was talked about when we formulated the policy on notability, and it was decided that notability via association often leads to articles that do not pertain to this wiki's scope.

I can see that this article will most likely be deleted. Therefore, I will be nominating Castro's Mistress, German Prisoner (World at War) and German Senties for deletion as well, since they are just about as important in their various games as the VC guards. I hope all you people lobbying for the deletion of this article will support me in getting rid of these ones as well, since they too are granularity articles and are not notable enough to have their own pages. -LyHungViet

Castro's Mistress
Edit
The notablility policy on this wiki states that a character must play an important role in several missions/ have a fixed name in order to make it notable. Castro's mistress only appears in game for about five seconds, says almost nothing, and is basically just another NPC. Everything in her article can be added to the Triva section of Operation 40.
Support — As the nominator for deletion.- LyHungViet

Bravo Five-Nine Talk 15:47, December 7, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — Plays a notable role in the mission (i.e. attempt to kill some of the main characters) and her role as well as her appearance stays the same. I also feel this nomination is being used as a sort of retribution for the Sleeping VC article being deleted, which the nominator so happened to create. --Callofduty4 17:40, December 7, 2010 (UTC)She was just a meat shield for the fake Castro.

Oppose — Only female enemy in the series, that is what makes this character notable. ← Bravo Five-Nine Talk 00:26, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
Oppose — 1. The player can interact with her physically. 2. She is an enemy. 3. She is a female enemy (The first in the series) 4. She has a unique character model, build, appearance, etc. --Ant423 05:35, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
- In response: 1. Physical interaction isn't part of being notable; same with #2 (being an enemy). Gender (#3) itself isn't a notable point (otherwise we'd be all hoo-hah about the first character who is dark skin, blue eyes, left-handed, has a name starts with 'Z', one-eyed, etc.). And while her model (#4) is unique, you could likewise say the same for one-off characters who only appear for one scene, such as the Cuban officer in the very first mission who gets stabbed. The mistress's contribution to the game is more or less equal to his. He does have his own article, so if we're using that as a benchmark for notability, then the mistress has a valid reason to stay. I'd challenge the notability level, but that's a different discussion. --Scottie theNerd 06:06, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
Support — As a character she isn't notable, as her contribution to the story is a fleeting mention in the mission. Her actions (pulling a gun on a main character) may be notable, but that can already be covered in the respective mission article. Remember that in many cases, it's not the person who is notable but what they do, and the content should be organised accordingly. The mistress article should be deleted because there is nothing we can write about her beyond what is already in the mission article. --Scottie theNerd 05:58, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

- 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. Shotrocket6 Talk 16:56, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
Strong Oppose — These aren't even independent pages, they're subpages from the zombie pages. Deleting them would serve no purpose, they don't cause any trouble and are quite helpful for those into Nazi zombies. Smuff [The cake is a lie.] 11:11, January 5, 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. Shotrocket6 Talk 16:52, January 6, 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.
