This and the following pages comprise a guide on how to play Command and Conquer. A number of these pages have already been deleted, or are about to be (see here, here, here, and here). So this is a mass-nomination of the few that remain. Wikipedia is most emphatically NOT a how-to guide - this is stated specifically in Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not - and as per precedent at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Structures of the GLA and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Structures of the Chinese, this should be deleted forthwith. This is basically an abuse of Wikipedia's free hosting to allow someone to have images on their GameFAQs guide. Closing admin, please also note the vast array of dubious 'fair use' screenshots that are attached to these pages. Proto||type 12:41, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Note - I am also nominating the following related pages because of the same reasons:
  • USA Story
  • GLA Storyline
  • China Storyline
  • United States of America (C&C: Generals)
  • Global Liberation Army (probably could well be redirected to Command and Conquer after deletion, if it occurs)
  • China (C&C: Generals)

That is all.

• Strong delete as nominator. Proto||type 12:41, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all per nomination. Deli nk 12:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all per reasons laid out in Proto's nomination.--Isotope23 13:13, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all per Proto's nom. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all the above articles. In addition, they provide inadequate context to work out what they are about. --Cedders^tk 14:00, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all per nom. GassyGuy 14:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete What the hell is this article? SmartGuy 15:16, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all Good game but these pages are not appropriate for WP Bwithh 16:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete the lot As Proto has stated, Wikipedia is NOT a how-to-guide. The articles seem largely incoherent in their context.--Auger Martel 16:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete most of the above, though I think a Merge and Cleanup of the storyline pages would be alright. --InShaneee 19:24, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all per nom. Clear case of WP:NOT instruction manual/HOWTO. - Motor (talk) 13:32, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and redirect - fancruft, all ought to redirect to Command & Conquer: Generals. Joffeloff 14:58, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Major Rewrite or Delete Some information is critical and should be sorted out. Too much information is being deleted. Just rewrite the articles to accomidate wikipedias rules. Storyline and factions can be combined. Don't delete unless it is absolutely critical. Cs california 22:20, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Cleanup Merging all the description, storyline, units, structures, generals and other information even without strategy in one single entry of a faction should be enough. Global Liberation Army should be kept provided that all info about GLA will be on that article. --Darth Narutorious 07:51, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Alright proto, you win. I guess that the WP:BOLD policy stops short of covering fiction material. Therefore, I resolve to never create a another fictional page for wikipedia as long as I edit. Since this is obviously what everyone else wants far be it for me to complain, or even attempt a defense of the material I have created.
