I am not the one who marked it for deletion, but I agree. It is basically a translation page, and the server rules clearly state that everything must be in english. The only exception is for words already in english lexicon, and all but a few on this page are. Said words do not need a page. Therefor this page is unnecessary clutter and should players who choose to use words out of common lexicon sanctioned. [[User:Ipuvaepe|Ipuvaepe]] 13:12, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
==[[Freighters and Transports]] (DELETED)==
 
There are pages for [[Freighters]] and [[Transports]], so the one about both should go.

==[[Independent Player Factions]] (DELETED)==
 
The page is a broken redirect leading to [[Hispania Player Factions]], which has been deleted.
 
 
 
It is the target of a redirect from [[Independant Player Factions]] (spelling mistake) itself, so that should be deleted, too.
 
 
 
[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 10:55, 15 May 2008 (GMT)
 
== [[Omega Pirates Guild]] (RESOLVED)==
 
The page is only a placeholder, but its existance makes links there show up blue. This makes people think there would be information. Such pages should be deleted, I think.
 
 
 
[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 08:11, 19 May 2008 (GMT)
 
 
 
You think correct. I'm not wiki savvy enough to send you a message, but I updated the page. Thanks for the warning.
 
 
 
The above, unsigned entry was made by [[User:Exsiled|Exsiled]].
 
 
 
The contents have been massively updated. No more need to delete the page.

==[[Cruise disruptor]] & [[Cruise Disruptor]] (DELETED)==
 
The page has been renamed and the redirect should not be needed.<br>
 
Edit: Just a suggestion. It might be useful to have a couple of redirects to [[Cruise Disruptors]], considering the different ways people spell them.

I think any "Original" information can be easily found by other means. This wiki is all about the Discovery Mod, not Vanilla Freelancer. Having these pages available has the potential for confusion and just doubles up information. As such I am removing the reference to the different versions in the Discovery version pages.

Page claims to be a design to be implemented in 819 A.S. (4.86). It's a gunship-sized vessel with a cruiser shield, SHF agility, heavy cruiser powercore, and a bomber torpedo slot.  Overpowered pipedream doesn't begin to approach this.  While it could be considered a sketch or idea, it is most definitely not a completed design as the page states.  It has not been updated in nearly a year.

In other words, almost 7% of pages on the wiki are (as of 27.11.11) spam or up for deletion.
  
This template is not a template and has been made obsolete by [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]]. This "template" is in use on most faction pages, but since that's simply transcribed wiki markup this page is useless. We will need to replace usage occurances of this "template" with [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]]

== [[Sirius Sector]] (RESOLVED) ==
  
I wouldn't say it's obsolete by [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]], as the new template is far too large to be properly used for every NPC faction in my opinion (iirc it was intended for player factions anyways). I would not replace the old one with this one - the old one is doing a fine job and I don't think it would look good if we had full rep sheets on every page that make up 80% of it's content. [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]] is nice, but I think it should one be used on player faction pages.[[User:Nathrael|:: Nathrael ::]] <sup><small>[[User_talk:Nathrael|Talklink]] [http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showuser=8787 Datalink] [mailto:nathrael@tacticalgamer.com Commlink]</small></sup>
+
As proposed on [[Talk:Sirius_Sector]] I think this section overlaps too much with [[Geography]] which is on the main page. The history of human settlement could easily be integrated into [[Geography]] under the '''Houses''' section, the heavily outdated information on guard systems as well. All other information on that page has been available on [[Geography]] for a long time and fits there better anway. Hell, there's even a section labeled '''Geography''' in [[Sirius Sector]...
  
Let me repeat myself, it is not a template. The wiki markup has just been copied to the different pages. Therefore it makes no practical difference if we delete the template. Also, I agree with you that [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]] has a tendency to become too large. But to be fair, so does [[:Template:Allies]] if used in the same way. It is a problem with both solutions. To fix this problem, I have proposed a way of using [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]] in a better way on [[:Template talk:Faction Diplomacy]]. As far as design goes, [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]] has more potential to be a universal diplomacy template, so for the sake of consistency I highly recommend that we focus on improving it rather than using multiple separate templates. <span style="white-space:pre;">-- [[User:Eyvind|Eyvind]] ([[User_talk:Eyvind|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Eyvind|contrib]]) </span> 09:40, 28 February 2009 (MST)

Not only horribly misspelled (it should be "Kirche des Grünen Adlers") but also, in my opinion, not really necessary; I think for now, until the Wiki grows, a "People" category is more than enough. Nathrael 03:12, 17 March 2009 (MDT)
 
  
:I don't see a problem with having more categories, even if they are a bit under-used. In my opinion, this category should be placed under [[:Category:People]] and the name fixed, but not deleted.

No. Just no. Go and look for yourselves. Also, please take a look at all the categories and subcategories this page belongs to; maybe we should delete them too, for the reasons mentioned under the Kirche des Grünen Adlers entry....

Latest revision as of 19:56, 22 May 2015

Add a new section.

  • All pages nominated for deletion need a section on this page marked with a timestamp to indicate the date of nomination. A timestamp can be produced by signing the entry with four tildes ( ~~~~ )
  • Pages that are nominated for deletion will be given a grace period of some time to discuss the proposition in full. If no valid arguments against the deletion of the page are given, a moderator will remove the page from the wiki at that point. Note that a deleted page can be recreated following its deletion.
  • Archive 1 (2008-05-14 - 2009-07-23), Archive 2 (2009-07-23 to 2010-05-14)

Gallic language (DELETED)

I am not the one who marked it for deletion, but I agree. It is basically a translation page, and the server rules clearly state that everything must be in english. The only exception is for words already in english lexicon, and all but a few on this page are. Said words do not need a page. Therefor this page is unnecessary clutter and should players who choose to use words out of common lexicon sanctioned. Ipuvaepe 13:12, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Sergio Cordova & Rodrico Jimenez (DELETED)

Page was blank. -- Alex 19:43, 13 February 2010 (MST)

I've left them alone for now. A reminder to Sead (the author) might be in order. ~Chovynz~ (BlabsEgo) (Wiki Admin) 19:16, 13 May 2010 (MDT)
Doesn't look like anything's going to happen to these pages. They say 'Soon.' but this was like 5 months ago... --Alex 07:43, 14 May 2010 (MDT)
I sent him a forum PM. Let us see what his response is and go from there. Tumble-Weed (ComLink) (Holocron) Zoners.png 00:59, 22 May 2010 (MDT)
He replied on the forum. The pages can be deleted. He forgot about them after he killed the characters off. All is good. Delete. Tumble-Weed (ComLink) (Holocron) Zoners.png 08:11, 22 May 2010 (MDT)

Doned and Doneder. Deleted Due to Damning Denial. Dis Dude Djokes! ~Chovynz~ (BlabsEgo) (Wiki Admin) 00:29, 23 May 2010 (MDT)

Talk:Robots (DELETED)

Article no longer exists. --Alex 18:10, 13 May 2010 (MDT)

Good spotting Alex. It might be worth keeping this page since there are robots of various sorts in Disco. ~Chovynz~ (BlabsEgo) (Wiki Admin) 18:33, 13 May 2010 (MDT)
I think the article was about the Robots that controlled Planet Gammu in Vanilla - if there was a 'Robots' article made in future, I doubt this talk page would hold anything useful related to the new article. --Alex 05:03, 14 May 2010 (MDT)

C6 Refuelling Platform (RESOLVED)

Cannot find this station in Companion. Don't think it exists. --Alex 07:34, 14 May 2010 (MDT)

I could be utterly mistaken, but isn't it a non-dockable structure? Tumble-Weed (ComLink) (Holocron) Zoners.png 06:35, 20 May 2010 (MDT)

I just checked this. I was wrong, it's there but a non-dockable structure. I can't see how this is considered a base though. --Alex 11:15, 21 May 2010 (MDT)
Role-play over game mechanics? Useful stub article, and it explains what the structure is. Perhaps a new category is needed for such things?Tumble-Weed (ComLink) (Holocron) Zoners.png 00:46, 22 May 2010 (MDT)

Added my thoughts to the talk page. I wouldn't want it deleted since it's quite a useful little thing. It is also hopefully the first of many such structures and pages. ~Chovynz~ (BlabsEgo) (Wiki Admin) 22:11, 22 May 2010 (MDT)


I say keep it, and add a catagory for un-dockable stations. The junction wreck in Kansas as one prime example, a faction has been built around it. --Kashiwaba Tomoe 03:53, 18 July 2010 (MDT)

I have removed the deletion flag from the page, as consensus is that it's useful. I too look forward to many more such pages. Sovereign 13:37, 3 August 2010 (MDT)

Planet New Paris (RESOLVED)

  • Does not use the system template.
  • Does not exist in the latest public Discovery mod files.

--Alex 08:54, 8 July 2010 (MDT)

Edited to contain only what is known in this mod. It still exists in RP, no need to deny it. We'll change it when the next version comes out. ~cshake (talk) (sysop) 10:10, 20 July 2010 (MDT)

Bribe (REDIRECTED)

Content copied into the Bribes page, if you cant find the 2nd paragraph, it is in HTML comment form. "Tracky 18:40, 25 July 2010 (MDT)"

Made into a redirect to Bribes, people might still search for it. ~cshake (talk) (sysop) 19:30, 25 July 2010 (MDT)

Aaron Cozar (DELETED)

Previous content was a redirect to "DELETE", therefore I imagine the owner of the page wanted the deletion of the page. "Tracky 19:51, 1 August 2010 (MDT)"

Done. ~cshake (talk) (sysop) 16:28, 8 August 2010 (MDT)

Universal Drones (DELETED)

Page deletion requested by page creator. Pretty clear cut. Sovereign 13:39, 3 August 2010 (MDT)

Done. ~cshake (talk) (sysop) 16:28, 8 August 2010 (MDT)

Multiple Pictures (DELETED)

Image:Hodge.JPG, Image:Podge.JPG, Image:Baffin system.jpg, Image:Baffin System.JPG, Image:Cortez System.JPG, Image:Yukon System.jpg and Tirane.png are proposed for deletion as a identical or higher quality version exists of them.

Done. ~cshake (talk) (sysop) 16:28, 8 August 2010 (MDT)

Emilie Cross (DELETED)

Page deletion requested by page creator. Reason, Character doesnt exist now. 2 Pages Emilie Cross and Battleship Revin Stewcool 03:07, 20 October 2010 (MDT)

Queen Espi's Revenge (DELETED)

Pointless page is pointless. --Alex 14:09, 20 December 2010 (MST)

IKytec (RESOLVED)

Page is outdated and no longer valid in any way. (Farenheit 17:17, 18 June 2011 (UTC))

Marked as historical. --Alex 16:26, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Southern alliance (DELETED)

Redirects to Liberty Navy, has not been edited since July of 2008 (before the oldest edit to Liberty Navy)

Useless page that gets no hits and does not have justification for the off topic redirect IMO. Ipuvaepe 17:59, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Traders (RESOLVED)

Traders page use, rather lack of use, is applicable to neither its former use nor current state. In short, it is useless. Ipuvaepe 18:04, 10 August 2011 (UTC)


More bot spam (DELETED)

Spam that seems to be from the same bot that Blodo permabanned earlier (same naming convention)
These need to be deleted:

How_To_Lose_Belly_Fat_development_37
Internet_Coupons_news_bulletin_19
What Exactly Do Individual Dental Insurance Plans Take care of?
Review of Football Taking pictures

Your friendly-neighborhood bot sniper. Ipuvaepe 19:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

I already reported some of these posts in the wiki chat. Unfortunately Blodo (our only active admin) isn't around much at the moment. Methinks we need more admins. --Alex 23:08, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
It has been handled and Blodo unblocked himself earlier. Ipuvaepe 13:02, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

File:Quaritch.jpg (DELETED)

Appears uploader forgot to use new name and then reuploaded correctly. This is a duplicate file. Ipuvaepe 18:15, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

J-93 Torpedo Boat "Javelin" (DELETED)

Page claims to be a design to be implemented in 819 A.S. (4.86). It's a gunship-sized vessel with a cruiser shield, SHF agility, heavy cruiser powercore, and a bomber torpedo slot. Overpowered pipedream doesn't begin to approach this. While it could be considered a sketch or idea, it is most definitely not a completed design as the page states. It has not been updated in nearly a year.

Spam (RESOLVED)

There's now 190 pages marked for deletion as spam, 110 pictures marked for deletion and 16 pages marked for deletion.

In other words, almost 7% of pages on the wiki are (as of 27.11.11) spam or up for deletion.

Space (talk) 10:19, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Sirius Sector (RESOLVED)

As proposed on Talk:Sirius_Sector I think this section overlaps too much with Geography which is on the main page. The history of human settlement could easily be integrated into Geography under the Houses section, the heavily outdated information on guard systems as well. All other information on that page has been available on Geography for a long time and fits there better anway. Hell, there's even a section labeled Geography in [[Sirius Sector]...
