[[User:201.27.16.60|201.27.16.60]] 20:35, 30 May 2006 (UTC) '''Delete''' - Though the last vote was inconclusive, it was agreed that the article needed to be a comparision to Doom. However, this article hasn't been touched since. If there isn't going to be a change, then I keep my '''delete''' vote -- [[User:TheDarkArchon|TheDarkArchon]] 20:33, 30 May 2006 (UTC) '''FIVE''' delete votes vs 2 keeps! '''Delete this fast!!!''' [[User:201.27.16.60|201.27.16.60]] 20:35, 30 May 2006 (UTC) ::Take it easy. The admins will delete it if it is voted for deletion for the second time. And this time I vote '''delete'''. [[User:Janizdreg|Janizdreg]] 20:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC) '''Delete.''' With the benefit of 13 years of hindsight, IMHO, the comparisons/contrasts with Doom-engine games are pretty forced, and that is reflected in the way the article is written. Unlike the non-Doom-engine titles Quake 1 and Duke Nukem 3D, which we have articles on, it is not a seminal work in FPS history (frankly, I remember it being just another Doom clone even at the time). If it's important that Descent resources are used in some Doom mod, fine — mention that in the technical section of that mod's article and get on with your life. [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 00:23, 31 May 2006 (UTC) :While I agree that Descent wasn't seminal, some people ''did'' think it would become a "next generation" Doom. As I said, there's much more room for comparison. Lots of direct quotes mentioning both games can be found. If more content hasn't been added yet... so what? Only two weeks have passed. There's no hurry to get this project finished (and deleting the article isn't going to help, as far as I can tell). I'd feel silly to undelete the article to expand it if I got around to it some day. :The thing with having an article to link to instead of just mentioning the title is that links can be followed backwards, i.e. to find out ''what other'' projects use Descent resources. This is a useful feature. Trivia such as the reference to John Carmack also makes the article worthwhile, IMHO. [[User:Fredrik|Fredrik]] 05:00, 31 May 2006 (UTC) :: ''there's much more room for comparison . . . I'd feel silly to undelete the article to expand it if I got around to it some day.'' If this is true, and a good article can be written in principle, that's great. Maybe I just don't remember Descent as well as I should. (I just downloaded the demo again to see.) For now, though, I must agree with Fraggle's original comments above. [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 16:06, 31 May 2006 (UTC) '''Delete.''' This is irrelevant. "Heretic II and Hexen II were more closely related to Doom than this". [[User:Cacodemon|Cacodemon]] 15:37, 31 May 2006 (UTC) After re-reading the guidelines, I declare this vote invalid.
