Final fantasy 8 guardian forces

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A list of special creatures that you can obtain in Final Fantasy VIII. User:DGG contested the prod on this article, saying that the content could be merged to another article. However, I feel that the concept of guardian forces is already covered sufficiently in the main Final Fantasy VIII article, and that this article provides excessive in-game detail that is not needed in another article. This sort of content fails WP:NOT#GUIDE, as it is just a guide to where to find the guardian forces in the game. I also don't think that the individual guardian forces have enough notability separate from that of Final Fantasy VIII to pass WP:N and have a stand alone list like this. The article had been speedy deleted under WP:CSD#A7, but I asked the admin to restore it as I felt it didn't fall under any of the categories covered by A7.

Delete WP is not a game guide. There are other sources for that. Just an article on the game should be enough.Northwestgnome (talk) 05:33, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. We are not a game guide. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 16:03, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Looking again at the content here, I see that it is in fact gameguide. It doesn't really describe the characters, but says how to play against them. DGG ( talk ) 19:36, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Crosswiki to [1]. I would, but I don't know enough about the subject to put it in the right spot. I recommend someone who knows it just paste it into a section there, copy the history to the talk page, then delete from WP. -wizzard2k ^(C-T-D) 05:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
