Nintendo DS (talk - history - links - logs)

Wookieepedia is not "dictionary of every single thing on earth that ever comes into or near the Star Wars universe"; just go to Wikipedia if you want to know what a Nintendo DS is. The other external link is useless, and the information regarding the games can be found on those pages. If someone really wanted to, a subcategory could be created regarding the platform.

Delete

  2. I listen to Star Wars audiobooks with my CD player. I watch Star Wars films on my DVD player. I use Behind the Magic on my laptop. I play Star Wars games on my Xbox 360. What the heck is the difference between the latter and the rest? I don't see anything in Wildyoda's CT argument that couldn't be covered by a category (KotOR III stuff is OR). This is a glorified list (remember, we don't like lists); the existence of other glorified lists shouldn't stop it being deleted, just like the existence of regular lists wouldn't — hasn't — stop us deleting a list, which could also legitimately be populated with information. Ergo, no solid reason for keeping it. Delete, establish a precedent to delete the lot, and create a new category (but I'd rather vote here than the unnecessary vote-splitting middle option). -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 17:58, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
  3. That CT was like six people, and the arguments were bad anyway. Acky is right; this has nothing to do with Star Wars. We might as well have Television or Book. "The following Star Wars products are available in book form: . . ." Yeah, I don't think so. Havac 01:35, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
  4. I fully agree with Acky and Havac. Convert either to a good List of videogames by console and redirect all video consoles articles there or create a Category:Computer and video games by platform. Pranay Sobusk ~ Talk 14:06, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Delete and Create New Category

#Definitely an optimal solution. Create Category: Nintendo DS video games (or something like that) in the Category:Computer and video games by platform, categorize all games listed in the article, then - voila! It can simply be deleted. MauserComlink 08:10, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Keep

  1. No reason to delete this. We have articles for every other video game console to host a Star Wars game, all of which could legitimately be populated with information. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:10, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
    • I would like to include them in this nom, as I have noted in the "Comments" section. In addition, they should be deleted for the same reason I think this should be. —Lucius malfoy7 Talk • Reference 20:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
  2. Per Toprawa. - JMAS Hey, it's me! 22:17, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

  4. Keep per Forum:CT:Why have articles on video game consoles?. jSarek 00:14, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
  5. The only alternative is to have a artilc tittled, "List of Nintendo DS Star Wars Video Games." Haven't we been trying to get rid of most lists? Now you could make a Nintendo DS category....That would be ok I guess...IthinkIwannaLeiaWaddaUthink? 00:36, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
  6. Per jSarek. Grunny (Talk) 05:19, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
  7. Keep per CT thread that jSarek linked to, and particularly Wildyoda's reasoning in that thread. Master JonathanJedi Council Chambers 06:01, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
  8. Keep per the CT. CC7567 (talk) 06:22, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

  10. Actually, Wookieepedia is the "dictionary of every single thing on earth that ever comes into or near the Star Wars universe" and game consoles are included in that. Just as a note, this would be one-sided as delete if you'd put up the Wii. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 14:13, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
    • If you mean the in-universe Star Wars universe, how does an Xbox 360 come into it? If you mean the OOU Star Wars universe (as in, the franchise) then would you have a problem with an article on a DVD player or somesuch? -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 16:22, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

  13. I agree with keeping this article, along with the other video game console articles. Video game consoles aren't as universal a platform as CD or DVD. OLIOSTER Sith Emblem 21:56, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
  14. Per the CT and Olioster. —Unsigned comment by Jorrel Fraajic (talk • contribs)

Comments

  • I just noticed the other that the video game consoles have articles, and I would therefore like to include them in this TC nomination. —Lucius malfoy7 Talk • Reference 21:38, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
