Community talk:Chuggaaconroy

Appropriate?
Now I'm not too sure here, but I don't think we typically do pages for people in the community, regardless of their notability. It's just not a good idea, in my opinion. What does everyone else think? 21:13, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
 * I don't think the page is necessary, and I can foresee problems arising about whether a page about an LPer is wiki-worthy because of varying popularity and being used as an outlet for advertisement.  22:38, 6 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Out of the 18 games listed now, only one has something to do with Zelda, and little was said about it. I think it would be better to move most of this page to the Nintendo Wiki. Maybe create a general "Let's Play" article with a link to it and other popular LPers. But how popular do they have to be to get mentioned on the wiki? And what's a good measure of popularity? 02:08, 7 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Personally, I don't think we should be making articles for ANY community figures. Mainly because people are going to start creating pages for people they think are popular in the community, those people might not like what's written, and it'll just end up messy. So my solution is that if they didn't participate in the creation of a Nintendo made Zelda game, they shouldn't have their own page. 04:28, 7 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Well in that case, wouldn't an article on LPing in general (with not as much focus on the individual LPers) make sense, as Abdullah suggested? If you'll look at the public chat Skype log you'll see that's what I had originally suggested be done with this article. In any case, such an article would help prevent the creation of mediocre articles such as this one (well, this one was mediocre when it started out. There was a similar one done for NintendoCaprisun a while back).
 * In any case, I don't really follow LPs so I don't really have any vested interest in such an article. I suggested it because I thought it would make a good addition to the Wiki's community pages. If people think otherwise, that's fine by me! 09:32, 7 August 2011 (EDT)
 * I second HK's idea. 13:33, 7 August 2011 (EDT)
 * I agree with the idea of a page for Let's Plays in a general and neutral sense, without mentioning any specific people. LPs are a big part of gaming communities, so I think it's worth its own page. However, if this is acceptable, why don't we have a page for something equally popular like Speed Runs? 17:52, 7 August 2011 (EDT)
 * I like where this conversation is going. . Perhaps merging the LPs with the Speed Runs, Long Plays, Commentaries, etc. would be most beneficial - in this case, we won't have to mention individuals, and all community gameplay-sharing phenomenon will exist on one page. Thoughts? 01:01, 10 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Seems like a good idea to me. What would be a good name/term for an article encompassing all these subjects? Is anyone familiar with this kind of thing enough to write a decent article about it? 15:21, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
 * I know quite a bit about Let's Plays themselves, so content and information shouldn't be a problem. But I can't think of any umbrella terms for the page, since I don't think there's much of a similarity between them apart from them being alternate ways people play games. 19:38, 19 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Well then, in that case Let's Play article would be definitely be a good start.
 * The indentation on this topic is getting ridiculous. :P
 * Ok. IF we cant do and article on chuggaa, why dont we do one on NintendoCapriSun. He has tons of Zelda LPs and I think it would be a better fit. If not we mays well move the page to an regular page and give little descriptions on LPers. TriforceOfEpicness 22:23, 2 October 2011 (EST) TriforceOfEpicness

It seems you're missing the point of this conversation. Creating pages of individual LPers is exactly what we don't want. This page is only temporary until we can get a general page on LPing... so your second suggestion is exactly what we're looking for.

Leave the page how it is.
It lasted this long and he is afilliated wil this wiiki. For the moving, put a short description and a link to the main page. TriforceOfEpicness 14:08, 22 August 2011 (EDT) TriforceOfEpicness
 * A bad page can last years before being improved, merged, redirected, transwiki-moved or simply deleted. Your rationale is flawed. Also, "If Chugaaconroy made it here then a LP can" is not going to save that Let's Play page from a potential redirect or deletion either. -- 14:47, 22 August 2011 (EDT)
