Gold Box gameplay

I love gold box as much as the next person, but this article is really a game guide or play manual. wikipedia is very clearly not the place for this. This was raised on the talk page by a couple of different people in the past, but nothing was previously done. There is already an article on the gold box series, and any encyclopedic content can be moved there if it exists.. Crossmr (talk) 23:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Wow, you weren't joking. It really is simply a game guide, and with no sources to boot. -- Redfarmer (talk) 00:14, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete This type of articles should be deleted. No source! Masterpiece2000 (talk) 08:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT#HOWTO and WP:NOT a strategy guide. No indication of notability outside of fans of the game; no cited sources at all; lots of "See also" wikilinks that look more like a walled garden than like coverage of a significant part of the videogame hobby; and nobody has yet found sources to cite.

• Delete - I've moved the article to my userspace in order to rewrite it so it's a (much shorter) description of gameplay, not a guide. Then, I'll merge it with Gold Box. SharkD (talk) 08:34, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Can an article be moved to User Space? I would like to preserve the edit history and talk page. SharkD (talk) 08:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
    • As a temporary thing intended for work, yes.--Crossmr (talk) 17:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
