Do not fill this in! == Talk:Turbosphere == Uh-oh, we're thinking alike again. I deliberately avoided revising this part of the policy page just now, because I was waiting for the result of [[Talk:Hell lord#Policy discussion|this conversation]] :D One question, though: are you VfDing these because they're port-specific, or just because of general non-notability? [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 06:11, 29 November 2006 (UTC) :Well, both. The discussion didn't seem to be going anywhere further, though. [[User:Bloodshedder|Bloodshedder]] 06:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC) :: If it's ''both'', then all the Strife articles should be merged also, should they not? id didn't work on it directly, and one could argue that Skulltag is far more notable than Strife in terms of populous and ongoing community activity. [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] 07:22, 29 November 2006 (UTC) :::My reasoning here is that since Strife is an official game, released commercially, its things should get their own articles. (You could, of course, make a similar argument for [[Hacx]], which is technically a PWAD, that it should get them, but you could also make the argument that since id merely ''published'' [[Hexen]], it shouldn't get its own item articles.) ::::[[Wikipedia:Strife (game)]] suggests that id was involved with Strife's development at a certain point, albeit briefly and superficially. You're making me wonder, though, whether the involvement of id in non-Doom titles shouldn't simply have historical interest, not bearing directly on "notability". We might well have one policy for commercial games in the Doom series, one for commercial games not in the Doom series (but based on the Doom engine), one for fangames based on the Doom engine, one for ports, and one for TCs/megawads. Then we'd only have to classify each title one at a time, which is easier. ::::It's hard to come up with an "algorithm" to cover all cases, but I think we should have ''something'' written down so that new editors don't do a ton of work only to see it merged or deleted (and in case none of us are here in five years).
