List of Star Ocean locations

This article asserts no notability through reliable sources, and is just a repetition of the setting and plot sections of the Star Ocean game articles. As such, it is repetitive and should be deleted. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 00:19, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the brief main article. JJL (talk) 00:20, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that a merge into Star Ocean (series) would be more appropriate. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 00:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I suppose, though I do think this article has potential in the long term. As the creator of this article from "back in the day," this article was meant to be a summary style break of long sections in the main articles (such as Star Ocean 3) to prevent clutter. While the standards are now higher for doing this, I do believe that this article could eventually stand on its own once more sources were found (likely with many of them in Japanese, unfortunately). This would be a long process, though, so merging back to the Star Ocean (series) article for now would be fair. SnowFire (talk) 01:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, this is a game, not a TV show or book series, and so is gameguide AND plot, both NOT. Blast Ulna (talk) 07:21, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator. There is no point in merging, this is an indiscriminate list of non-notable locations. The plot sections in each Star Ocean article already explains what's important to explain. Mentioning every single location and planet of the series' universe is not appropriate. Kariteh (talk) 07:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non notable fancruft.--Berig (talk) 13:34, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fancruft. If people play the game, they know where the game is. If they don't, they don't care. Utgard Loki (talk) 16:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as violating WP:GAMETRIVIA. This is just non-notable information that you'd find in a game guide. The main star ocean article already gives an encyclopedic overview. Randomran (talk) 21:58, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This borders on WP:NOT#GUIDE, but even if one ignores that, the article is still entirely plot summary with no real-world significance. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 08:42, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Wikipedia:Lists (discriminate and verifiable). A list is not a how to, which is what the gameguide guideline cautions against. Trivia is encyclopedic. Subject is consistent per First pillar with a specialized encyclopedia on Star Ocean. "cruft" is nevera valid argument to delete.
