Talk:Weru Weru River

Source
I think this could be legit, as it sounds like a possible name, but is there any kind of source to it? If one Google searches "Nkuu River", there's only Halo-related hits, most of them linking here. Google maps doesn't show it either. So, can anyone provide an actual source? --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 17:21, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe it was mentioned in Ghost Town multiplayer level... something about Global Water Campaign?-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 17:31, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

No source, this river does not exist !

Where did it come from then? Alertfiend - Team Chief 06:35, 21 October 2015 (EDT)


 * Jugus created the page (3 years after Halo 3's release, mind you), but it's possible he created it from a red link or something. We might need someone to check the environment in the level Sierra 117, the Halo 3: Official Guide, or some game magazine issues from 2007. —  SPARTAN 331  06:51, 21 October 2015 (EDT)

I guess I will do it right now, I'll get back here soon, but I think it means the this river is in the Nkuu territory and not the actual name, which would be a mistake on the part of the person who linked it. Alertfiend - Team Chief 07:16, 21 October 2015 (EDT)


 * Jugus isn't the one who wrote the article. While he created it here on Halopedia after the split with Halo Nation, another user is responsible for creating the page originally back in 2008 as seen here. -- NightHammer (talk)(contribs) 09:14, 21 October 2015 (EDT)


 * What NightHammer said, although to clarify, the articles were automatically imported here from the Wikia site back in 2010, and all of the revisions weren't always carried over - in this case the earliest revision to be imported just happened to be mine. I did actually question the canonical legitimacy of the article back in the day, as seen above. I still hold that it's very questionable where the name came from. If anyone can't find a source, the page should be deleted. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 13:14, 21 October 2015 (EDT)


 * I can't find any source for this. Could have been deleted. The user that created the article alongside some edits to the GWC articles, so there might be a reference to the river in-game or in some post about the map (Ghost Town) when it was released. -- NightHammer (talk)(contribs) 13:53, 21 October 2015 (EDT)
 * I'll check Ghost Town and Sierra 117 for any references next time I'm online playing MCC.-- 14:07, 21 October 2015 (EDT)

I come from a french Wiki, the WikiHalo. Us, we verify our sources to avoid providing false information... One last thing, the GWC is not a company but a government initiative ("The government’s Global Water Campaign built a large purification facility for the transport of snowmelt from Mount Kilimanjaro to the facility." ).

 * My mistake, Jugus. If no one can find any indication for the river's name, then this page should be deleted. I don't see why Bungie would give the river a name, especially when that river is only there for one level and serves no narrativep. @Starepublic: You are more than welcome to edit the GWC page. —  SPARTAN 331  15:37, 21 October 2015 (EDT)

So the article was moved to a new name and quite a bit of info was added, but I'm still not convinced this page is worth keeping. All we have for a "source" is 21st-century map data which doesn't connect the real-world Weru Weru River with the river in Halo 3 in any way, not when we have no accurate coordinate data available in the game. And where does the info on the dam's construction come from anyway? It's certainly not listed in the source and sounds an awful lot like fanon. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 14:02, 20 March 2016 (EDT)


 * Agreed. I didn't even notice the move. Should be deleted since there doesn't look like there is a source. -- NightHammer (talk)(contribs) 14:11, 20 March 2016 (EDT)
