Fighting Game Moves
Delete Do we need this kind of book? I think the content should be moved into separate books, 1 for each game. Gerard Foley 23:42, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep The arguments have changed my mind. Is it OK to consider that this book is staying? Gerard Foley 13:20, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you My over-reaction aside, thank you very much for the support and the opportunity to continue working on this. I apologize for the rashness of my original remarks. Plotor 18:13, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep Obviously I'm biased, since I've been working my ass off on completeing this, but in essence, there already is a page for each game, and each game does not need an entire _BOOK_ per se. That, in my opinion, would be wasteful as opposed to one entire compendium that serves as a one stop go-to for any information of this type. This matter has been thoroughly discussed in Wikibooks talk:Game manual guidelines and I don't see this vote for deletion as anything other than poo-pooing the work that I'm doing. If you don't like the book, don't read it. If you think you can do a better job at it, by all means, surpass me. Either way, it's presence on wikibooks is not hurting anyone.

Further More Considering the way that I'm setting this book up, it _can't_ be done with one game per book, since the character pages reference all of the games that they are referenced by. Everything is cross referenced, including each individual character to their wikipedia page and vice versa. And unlike many of the other books here that are being considered for deletion, I am actively working on this book, and I aim to complete it and not stop in the middle and abandon it. How could you consider a book for deletion that is not even complete yet? If this book does get deleted, that will officially end my participation in the wikibooks project, and I know that's a drop in the bucket and I probably won't be missed, but that's the tone you risk setting. It's not fair to consider a book for deletion simply because a subject matter is of little interest to you, without considering that it might be of interest to others, and I'm extremely hurt by this motion.

 * Keep This book seems to be too small to split into separate books. Even if it was large, then we would be moving pages, not deleting the book. --Kernigh 20:24, 23 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep - It's internally consistant, and it can be of great use if you're a fighting games fan. Rernst 04:09, 24 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep It is consistant, and a book like this would be invaluable to a Fighting Game Developer. A list of all big-name Fighting Games moves == how to figure out the "standard" if you ever make your own game. Additionally, this does not belong on any other wikiproject, and I'd hate to see such high quality material to go. --Dragontamer 05:24, 25 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep No new reason, but I believe the above reason are worthy enough to keep this book. It is an interesting book. Elfalem 06:03, 27 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep I Agree that it would be impossible to split this to several books. But this book would need a proper intorduction chapter about fighting games, moves an so on. --Algernon


 * Keep. I know the game guides are on shakey-ground, but this book has the potential to span several games, and provide content in a way that other game FAQ sites simply cannot. I say we all give this one a chance, because it could turn out pretty cool. -- 04:14, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

General concensus here is to keepthis wikibook, and this concensus has been un challenged for 2 weeks. I will archive this discussion within the coming week. --Whiteknight (talk) (current) 15:05, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
