That being said, please take in to account what has already been said. -- Tavix ( talk) 01:02, 6 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Unnecessary WP:GAMECRUFT-y redirects. Those that are not deleted should be redirected to Characters of Half-Life or Creatures of Half-Life. Lordtobi ( ) 18:52, 23 September 2017 (UTC) reply

I would delete Doctor Issac kleiner (lower-case on only the last term) as that's weird to cap the first two words and not the third. The others have been retargeted. AngusWOOF ( barksniff) 15:45, 27 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment some of them should point to Creatures of Half-Life. Due to page merger and wrong redirect fix, some page were targeting wrong page. Matthew_hk t c 02:46, 24 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete all The characters are improperly capitalized, implausible search terms - or in the worst case, such as Dr. Kleiner, can cause confusion with real people named Kleiner. Creatures should be deleted as they could potentially cause confusion with real animals. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 10:37, 24 September 2017 (UTC) reply

I've gone through the list and struck the ones that have been refined. Here are my revised recommendations on what's left:

Delete:

  • ionized plasma leviator - it's spelled levitator and the properly spelled one does not have a redirect (the article has a link but it goes to plasma)
  • Ionised plasma leviator - same as above
  • Carnivorous leech - regular leeches are carnivorous so this is redundant. I redirected it to leech, but the term "carnivorous leech" isn't used in regular biology either.
  • Carnivorous Leech - same as above
  • Baby Voltigore - already have Voltigore, don't need the baby version, which is not mentioned in that section, not really.
  • Baby Garg - The baby version isn't a separate creature from Gargantua
  • Antlion Guard - the individual types of Antlions don't need to have redirects when they are just generic names like worker or guardi, except for the weirdly named ones such as Myrmidont and Acidlion
  • Grav jumping - not even listed in Wikia.
  • Anomalous materials - yes, there's a lab in the game called Anomalous Materials Lab, but the use of anomalous isn't exclusive to Half-Life. Also with WP:RECENTISM there's the phrase "anomalous purchase of educational materials" pertaining to Nur Misuari's arrest. [8]

Weak delete :

  • Anticitizen One - is a name of a chapter (scenario? level?) in the Half-Life 2 game, and also a moniker given to Gordon Freeman in Half-Life 2. This is kind of like Public Enemy No. 1. Unfortunately it's not described in either place. Needs to be added in the place for it to be useful.
  • Antimass spectrometer - mentioned at start of game where it explodes in the Black Mesa Research Facility. Otherwise it isn't a key notable fictional element for the franchise.
  • Anti-mass spectrometer - same as above.
  • The Battle of Black Mesa - Considering much of the game takes place at the Black Mesa facility, and that it is an FPS so there are fights, it is not clear which battle this is referring to.
  • Battle of Black Mesa
  • The Battle of City 17 - Similarly for Half-Life 2, much of the storyline takes place in City 17.
  • Battle of City 17
  • Battle for City 17
  • Lambda Resistance (Half-Life 2) - not referred to in the game as such, just Resistance. They use lambda logos but so what?

Keep:

  • The Resistance (Half-Life 2) - main group name for the characters who fight against the Combine. Described in the plot and gameplay sections.

I need some help figuring out the Weak deletes as those require more game detail that isn't listed in the article. AngusWOOF ( barksniff) 19:06, 27 September 2017 (UTC) reply

In my opinion, all of the "weak deletes" should still be deleted. Even "The Resistance (Half-Life 2)" which is an overly generic term. I might as well just make a "The Resistance (Foo)" redirect for every book and movie that has a resistance against something. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 16:12, 30 September 2017 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was delete. The fact that this game isn't a series yet (creator's comment) and the inexact title match with potential retargets seem to have pushed this over the line towards delete. Deryck C. 13:24, 2 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Does not redirect to any series article, merely the first game of it. Article itself should not be created in the first place, as the guideline poses a minimum of three game-in-series articles on Wikipedia; though there are only two games in the series.

The result of the discussion was trainwreck. As evidenced from this discussion, a lot of these are nuanced and deserve individual discussion. Feel free to boldly retarget anything and bring any back up for discussion individually or in much smaller batches. That being said, please take in to account what has already been said. -- Tavix ( talk) 01:02, 6 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Unnecessary WP:GAMECRUFT-y redirects. Those that are not deleted should be redirected to Characters of Half-Life or Creatures of Half-Life. Lordtobi ( ) 18:52, 23 September 2017 (UTC) reply

I would delete Doctor Issac kleiner (lower-case on only the last term) as that's weird to cap the first two words and not the third. The others have been retargeted. AngusWOOF ( barksniff) 15:45, 27 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment some of them should point to Creatures of Half-Life. Due to page merger and wrong redirect fix, some page were targeting wrong page. Matthew_hk t c 02:46, 24 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete all The characters are improperly capitalized, implausible search terms - or in the worst case, such as Dr. Kleiner, can cause confusion with real people named Kleiner. Creatures should be deleted as they could potentially cause confusion with real animals. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 10:37, 24 September 2017 (UTC) reply

I've gone through the list and struck the ones that have been refined. Here are my revised recommendations on what's left:

Delete:

  • ionized plasma leviator - it's spelled levitator and the properly spelled one does not have a redirect (the article has a link but it goes to plasma)
  • Ionised plasma leviator - same as above
  • Carnivorous leech - regular leeches are carnivorous so this is redundant. I redirected it to leech, but the term "carnivorous leech" isn't used in regular biology either.
  • Carnivorous Leech - same as above
  • Baby Voltigore - already have Voltigore, don't need the baby version, which is not mentioned in that section, not really.
  • Baby Garg - The baby version isn't a separate creature from Gargantua
  • Antlion Guard - the individual types of Antlions don't need to have redirects when they are just generic names like worker or guardi, except for the weirdly named ones such as Myrmidont and Acidlion
  • Grav jumping - not even listed in Wikia.
  • Anomalous materials - yes, there's a lab in the game called Anomalous Materials Lab, but the use of anomalous isn't exclusive to Half-Life. Also with WP:RECENTISM there's the phrase "anomalous purchase of educational materials" pertaining to Nur Misuari's arrest. [8]

Weak delete :

  • Anticitizen One - is a name of a chapter (scenario? level?) in the Half-Life 2 game, and also a moniker given to Gordon Freeman in Half-Life 2. This is kind of like Public Enemy No. 1. Unfortunately it's not described in either place. Needs to be added in the place for it to be useful.
  • Antimass spectrometer - mentioned at start of game where it explodes in the Black Mesa Research Facility. Otherwise it isn't a key notable fictional element for the franchise.
  • Anti-mass spectrometer - same as above.
  • The Battle of Black Mesa - Considering much of the game takes place at the Black Mesa facility, and that it is an FPS so there are fights, it is not clear which battle this is referring to.
  • Battle of Black Mesa
  • The Battle of City 17 - Similarly for Half-Life 2, much of the storyline takes place in City 17.
  • Battle of City 17
  • Battle for City 17
  • Lambda Resistance (Half-Life 2) - not referred to in the game as such, just Resistance. They use lambda logos but so what?

Keep:

  • The Resistance (Half-Life 2) - main group name for the characters who fight against the Combine. Described in the plot and gameplay sections.

I need some help figuring out the Weak deletes as those require more game detail that isn't listed in the article. AngusWOOF ( barksniff) 19:06, 27 September 2017 (UTC) reply

In my opinion, all of the "weak deletes" should still be deleted. Even "The Resistance (Half-Life 2)" which is an overly generic term. I might as well just make a "The Resistance (Foo)" redirect for every book and movie that has a resistance against something. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 16:12, 30 September 2017 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was delete. The fact that this game isn't a series yet (creator's comment) and the inexact title match with potential retargets seem to have pushed this over the line towards delete. Deryck C. 13:24, 2 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Does not redirect to any series article, merely the first game of it. Article itself should not be created in the first place, as the guideline poses a minimum of three game-in-series articles on Wikipedia; though there are only two games in the series.
