Community talk:Ben Drowned

Delete/Merge
Why exactly do we have this article? This feels like advertisement. Is this hoax really deserving of its own article, much less one as long as this? Champion of Nayru (talk) 18:39, 12 November 2013 (UTC) Champion of Nayru


 * The "Ben" story has a significant following in the Zelda community. It falls within Zelda Wiki's project scope.
 * I don't see any problem with the way it's written. It's very detailed; I don't think it reads like an advertisement.
 * A definite "no" for me on merging or deleting. There are many iffy community articles, but this isn't one of them. 00:11, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't quite understand why we have an article for this one story, but we do not list LPers. How is this any different? Champion of Nayru (talk) 01:30, 13 November 2013 (UTC) Champion of Nayru
 * I don't see how that's particularly relevant. Are we to scrap every article on single-author fan projects because the wiki doesn't list LPers? 09:31, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I found it odd that we refuse to list popular LPs, but we list popular fanfiction. Shouldn't we have consistency in that we either have pages/sections for popular fan works or none at all? Champion of Nayru (talk) 16:15, 13 November 2013 (UTC) Champion of Nayru


 * What I'm saying is, it makes more sense to use articles like these as precedent to add info on LPers, rather than use a lack of info on one particular thing as a reason to delete articles that are reasonably well established. In any case, we already have Community:Let's Play. But if you'd like to revisit the LPer discussion, we can do that. (Here's a previous one for reference.)
 * Articles should stand or fall on their own merits. It's counterproductive to have an "all-or-nothing" attitude regarding consistency. Two subjects can be made to seem as alike or as different as one needs them to be for the sake of their argument. 00:29, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
