Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Japanese:Videogame

Japanese:Videogame
It's not really a relevant subcategory of Japanese and contains no real content, regardless. While I think a book dealing with "Japanese for Science-Fiction and Fantasy" would be both awesome and fun, this isn't it and doesn't look like it's going to be.


 * Delete. I agree. This section really has no place in the Japanese wikibook. I've actually thought of bringing it to VfD, myself. Also, there are likely copyright issues with with copying the original game text verbatim. This category and it's related pages should be deleted. - Sik0fewl 02:38, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Not an instructional resource. But, man, this would be a great wikicity! MShonle 04:02, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The problem is the original contributor seems to be gone, so we'd need somebody to volunteer to move it to wikicities (and no, I'm not volunteering :) - Sik0fewl 05:19, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Copyright violation? The Walkthrough Guides would violate the copyrights of the video games for which it has transcripts. However, the current collection is so small that it might actually be fair use. --Kernigh 03:12, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree, but I don't think that it's a very good solution to let it stay around until it becomes a copyright violation. - Sik0fewl 22:51, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * GameFAQs has a fudgeload of complete transcripts, how do they deal with the legality of it? Then again I suppose they're not releasing their dumps on a site that defaults to the GFDL... GarrettTalk 01:40, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - There is no tag on the page so we cannot delete it. --Kernigh 23:03, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I added the tag on 21 October 2005. I am also voting Delete, but we need to first wait for responses after 21 October. In addition to the vfd notice, I posted to the talk pages for User:Gmcfoley and User:Mkn because they appear to be the main contributors who have user accounts. I might change this vote to Keep if someone changes Japanese:Videogame and its subpages to be something useful, instead of just gathering non-GFDL transcripts. --Kernigh 15:10, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep now that some non-transcript material is being added, but maybe put (Template:copyvio) or fair-use assertions on the transcript pages. Also, we might want to make it a separate book instead of a chapter in Japanese. --Kernigh 23:32, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I have just been informed that some of the stuff I wrote is up for deletion. I only new here so I don't know how things are done, especially in regard to copyright. The pages here probably are only going to be a gathering non-GFDL transcripts. If this is a problem then the pages probably should be deleted. I didn't create this section, only added to it, so I don't care either way. Gmcfoley 15:59, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
