Talk:Halopedia

This is just an example page of what we should put in Wikipedia and other Wikis once we've reached 1000 articles.

In Our Defense
We need to work out our arguement to defend against deletion. Also, when we do post we need to have some reasons prepared for the talk page like the following:


 * Delete-- Per Guy's statement "wikipedia is not a listing for fan wikis". -- SomeGuy 14:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * One could also say that Wikipedia is not a listing of university professors, musical groups, city streets, etc., etc.: but the Wikipedia community has developed formal and informal rules which determine which profs, bands, streets, and fan wikis get Wikipedia articles. So, articles on Halopedia, Memory Alpha, and Comixpedia are kept, while others are deleted. — SomeGuy 14:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Uh...don't think so. Halopedia has been around a while, and I don't consider it spam. -- SomeGuy 14:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Halopedia is a very large database of Halo articles frequented by a great deal of people. It has a very impressive alexa rating. -- SomeGuy 14:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Not spam, and one of Wikia's biggest wikis.-- SomeGuy 14:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Response
(I'm putting this under a header to seperate it from the list.) It should be noted that Wikipedia does not care about number of votes, so much as arguements. Getting a forum to come and post a bunch of "Keep Halopedia is awesome!" will not help. --Dragonclaws 17:55, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Article
The article seems to much like an ad to the Wikipedia editor part of me. Compare it to the Memory Alpha article. Well written and sourced is what we should aim for. It shouldn't have our directory, and I don't think the Summary header is used there. Is that infobox standard? --Dragonclaws 17:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
