Content deletion

Soetermans, i will be glad that you stop deleting content from this article without reasons. "Ce" and "More of the same" are not valid reasons to delete information from an article. So please, stop deleting the information on this article. If i see you keep deleting it i will have to document a report against your account and present it to any moderator of this platform.

@Sgront: See WP:VGSCOPE, they were deleting excessive gameplay detail, listing specific characters/planes/levels is not needed for an encyclopedic understanding of the game, and removing it is not vandalism. Waxworker (talk) 17:05, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Waxworker: A lot of videogame-related articles on Wikipedia talk about the characters, levels, bosses, weapons and more, and they don't have their information deleted. Instead, it even gets expanded by other Wikipedia users. If Wikipedia is only about encyclopedic understanding, then the plot, ratings and more are not needed, as i doubt then that nobody wants to know the rating of a common 1992 Arcade game.

Also, by the same reasoning, am i free to delete the names of the "Righteous Among The Nations" because they are not enciclopedically important for that article, but maintain their articles for people who want to know about their lives and acts?

People must understand that deleting real and valid information on articles is a way to make the articles less relevant and slowly destroy them. If Wikipedia votes to destroy the information and article expansions, then i understand that the WP:VGSCOPE article allows me to delete the information about the Resident Evil, HALO and Legend of Zelda characters among the series as it is not encyclopedically needed data to understand the article.

Hi @Sgront:, I've been here for quite a while, please don't accuse me of vandalism. Please familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's guidelines on video game articles before arguing about its contents. See WP:VG/MOS. Levels, weapons, bosses and more WP:GAMEGUIDE material has no place here. Do not add it back in. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 18:00, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to document a report against my account and present it to any moderators though. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 18:02, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks SOETERMANS. You stated that you approve article vandalizing and thus you allow me to delete all the content of the Resident Evil character bios. Also i see that Shront has a fair point. 47.60.43.201 (talk) 21:44, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

...no, I didn't. You can clearly see I'm saying removing unnecessary gameguide material isn't vandalism. Please don't disrupt Wikipedia, just to make a point. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 01:51, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, you didn't?! Thanks to you now tons of articles are getting vandalized because your responses appeared on Twitter and Reddit. Nice Work, SOETERMANS. Better change your name to "FAILERKID" or "CoreyFeldmanGoonieFan". 47.60.148.136 (talk) 17:57, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Say, @Sergecross73:, isn't that crossing the line, to post (or to suggest or threaten to do so) my username on social media? This user is IP hopping, is there any action that can be taken? I've already requested a page protection, but this is going to far I think. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 18:35, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've protected the page. I recommend editors not already familiar with it, to read up on WP:GAMECRUFT and WP:POINT. Probably WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS too probably - just because you witness errors elsewhere on Wikipedia does not justify having them here. Any more personal attacks or threats will be removed on the spot. Either constructively discuss content of the article, or drop it. Sergecross73 msg me 18:48, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for stepping in, @Sergecross73:, it's much appreciated. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 20:11, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Let me know if there's further issues or if I can help mediate or explain anything too. Sergecross73 msg me 20:38, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
