Tony Hawk’s Project 8

edit

reads like advertising text, and it's about something that doesn't exist yet. wikipediatrix 23:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC) *Ludicrously strong keep and clean up The game, while perhaps not having an official title, certainly exists. The game was announced at E3, and if you go to any video game web site, you'll find a preview from said show, not to mentions screenshots and videos. The article is certainly terrible, but as with any article, that can be fixed. -- Kicking222 00:37, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • Ludicrously strong redirect (speedy redirect?) per Capt. Disdain, although I'm not completely sure how the article titles are different. Either way, this should just go to the non-suck article. -- Kicking222 12:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • It took me a moment to figure that out, too. The secret's in the apostrophe -- the real article has a " ' ", whereas the crappy one has a " ’ ". If you look very carefully (you may need to increase your font size...), you can see the difference. Wikipedia doesn't differentiate between the two. (It's more than little unlikely that someone would go through the trouble of using the wrong one as a search term, since I'd imagine that most keyboard setups spit out the real one by default, but what the hell, redirects are cheap.) -- Captain Disdain 12:30, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reluctant Keep these stupid games just keep coming don't they. Gamespot article here [1]. --Pboyd04 01:25, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. That's like saying every article about a product that isn't out yet should be deleted. This article just needs to be cleaned up. TJ Spyke 04:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Tony Hawk's Project 8. This article is just a pretty awful version of the real thing. (Also, I don't think it reads like advertising text, actually. Not unless quality standards of advertising text have just disappeared when I wasn't looking. I mean, "The game apparently (this hasnt been released but from trustable sources) is about Tony Hawk[.]" Ad copy editors all over the world probably go into convulsions looking at that...) -- Captain Disdain 07:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Tony Hawk's Project 8. I have no idea how this (the weird punctuation thing) happened, but since it happened, we might as well redirect it so it doesn't happen again. -- NORTH talk 21:37, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reverse redirect Since an admin will probably close this anyway, we may as well get this right and use the version with the apostrophe.--Chaser T 21:56, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
