Category talk:Candidates for deletion

Please use this page to discuss pages that have been labelled for deletion. (Such discussions tend to remain open for at least one week)

Remember, you can make a page automatically switch to another page by replacing the page content with a redirect annotation. (Eg: #REDIRECT Environments)

Suggestions
I'm mildly opposed to deleting the Suggestions page because people may still want to share ideas. Even if that's not so much the case since game development stopped, surely there's no harm in keeping the comments so that people can read about ideas others have proposed in the past. Perhaps as one alternative solution, we could move this page to a blog post. Here's why I think this could be helpful:
 * Doesn't delete the content, content is still available for people who may want to read it.
 * Moves this non-encyclopedic page out of the content namespace
 * Option to leave a redirect behind
 * Option to lock commenting so that it becomes read-only (this can be done on blog posts, but not for article comments)


 * I can agree with moving the page to Blanzer's blog space, rather than deleting it.


 * I concur with Dzylon's solution, as it complies with the majority of the conditions Math proposed. I do think that there should be a redirect left behind though, as some users might find it difficult to locate, otherwise.


 * Moved to User blog:Blanzer/Suggestions.


 * Awesome, thanks.

Halloween
I most definately don't think it should be deleted. I needed to find out something, and I want to this page and got the info. Even though it won't help a lot, it would still be neat to have a page like this. I also think there should be a "Christmas" page. Gabi1239 (talk) 21:39, October 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * All of the information presented on this page is (or at least will be) dealt with better elsewhere. For example, costumed mobs could be better explained on the individual page for the affected mobs, a list of Halloween-themed items essentially already exists at Category:1.2.1 and Category:Halloween, and a list of items which can be obtained from Goodie Bags can already be found on the page of the same name. As a result, it seems to me that the information on the Halloween page is unnecessarily duplicated, and the page should either be deleted or redirected to the Halloween category page.


 * (Depending on what the decision here is, I believe that "Christmas" could also work as a redirect to the Christmas category page.)

Contested deletion
__NOWYSIWYG__

These trading card pages should not be deleted because they show that the trading cards themselves exist. Since the category is the only page listing these cards, deleting the pages would make it seem like only four (the ones whose pages are filled out) of them exist. The pages also already have the fields for details present and waiting to be filled out, and deleting them could potentially deter someone with that information from submitting it.

The user who has marked these pages has been extremely stubborn and rude about the pages in question as well. Utterly ridiculous behavior. These pages have been on the wiki for months and cause no issues, so I see no logical reason why they should be deleted. Kida155 (talk) 05:15, December 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Per the Terraria Wiki:Criteria for speedy deletion, they should be deleted. They have been there for months, and no one has added the information, like you said.
 * [EDIT] I have added to each page a list of all the current known cards, plus links to the other ones. Fruipit (Talk • Contribs • Editcount • Fanon) 01:29, December 9, 2013 (UTC)

Terraria Fan Art
I believe that the Terraria Fan Art page should be deleted, for several reasons.
 * 1) This is a wiki, which means it holds, at the very least, some encyclopaedic value. Having a page such as this undermines the information section, I feel.
 * 2) As another point, related to the above, there is a Terraria Fanon Wiki, which hosts fan made items. This page would be better placed there.
 * 3) The current issues regarding sourcing and licensing of images. Many of the pictures uploaded there do not state who created it, and I personally believe that it shouldn't be up to the original artist to say whether or not they want it up there, in the (rare) event of someone stealing another's work.
 * 4) There is very little maintenance done on that page, and some of the art work is not obviously Terraria Fan Art.

Put simply, we don't need this page, as all it does is give people badges for adding images. The only pages that link to it are user pages. Fruipit (Talk • Contribs • Editcount • Fanon) 01:21, December 9, 2013 (UTC)
