List of Final Fantasy designers

The entire article is just a list, and likely will never be more than that. There is also no discussion or context provided by the article, and a number of the individuals on the list do not have more than a stub's worth of information in their own articles, or no article at all. Thus, the list by itself will not be helpful to many readers. Providing this information in this form doesn't seem encyclopedic given WP:NOT#DIR and WP:NOT#IINFO. This information would be better presented in the articles for each of the Final Fantasy games and in the main Final Fantasy article in cases of desisgners who have worked on many FF games.

Delete per nom. Key phrase is in the article intro: Production credits for each individual game can be located in the specific articles. This seems to be a list just for the sake of having a list. -Markeer 16:07, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into article on Final Fantasy. Tarinth 16:25, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Markeer. There isn't anything profound or encyclopedic to show regarding who helped design which game, so I don't see any benefit for a list. Any of this that isn't already at the respective pages of each game should be merged there, of course. Serpent's Choice 16:36, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm sure all of this can be merged into their respective articles in a relatively painless fashion. I think I'll do that sometime within the next day. Axem Titanium 16:57, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - after checking that the information here is also listed on the relevant games. Quack 688 10:48, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
(do not know proper term) Make it into a catalog instead.

Comment What do you mean by catalog? Nimrand 00:26, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- [S]He probably meant a category. Koweja 08:19, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A category instead of an article might not be a bad idea. That was possibly the intent of this article in the first place, and the authors just didn't know how to go about it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nimrand (talk • contribs) 15:29, 31 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]
