Talk:Howling Halls/Archive 1

Prop delete
Disagree with the rationale for deletion. Sometimes a sentence is all that can be written about a topic. Far as I'm concerned, if it's mentioned in a DW story, it deserves a page here.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍ 02:29, December 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * I also disagree. There's often only a small amount of information on a topic. The information is still worthy of a page though. --Tangerineduel 14:06, December 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's rediculous. If only a sentence can be written, then it obviously doesn't need a page in the first place, as the information can be placed elsewhere without any loss. -- Bold  Clone  16:47, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * The information is definatly worth a page, it is pointless diverging the topic on another page to accomadate for the information from this one. Besides don't the Eternals coem from the Howling Halls? im sure the 2006 annual said so. Revanvolatrelundar 20:21, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * We have one sentence. Do you really expect me to believe that one single sentence is worth a page? We can put the info on the Elemental Shade page, delete this one, and nobody would ever know the difference. What makes this page so important? -- Bold  Clone  20:25, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

You haven't thought this through. Are you going to propose deletion of all small articles?--Skittles the hog-- Talk 20:32, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

There are plenty of articles on this wikia that are small, one liners. All these pages offer enough information to warrant a page and why should this be any different. As Skittles suggests, are you going to propose to delete all small articles? It just seems a bit daft to me, where do you tow the line? Should there even be a line to tow? I'm definatly behind the latter. Revanvolatrelundar 21:06, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to propose deletion of all small pages. That's a case-by-case situation, and I don't have time to do that. Simply put, if a page is small enough that all its info can easily be placed on another page, then the info can be moved and the page deleted with nothing lost. That's not even the case here. All we really have is a name. Do we even know for sure that Elemental Shades come from the Howling Halls? What if that one Shade had been imprisioned there, or had been stranded there? Then this page's one piece of info would be wrong. We could delete this page right now, and not lose any information; that should be your criteria. What about this page makes you want to keep it? -- Bold  Clone  16:43, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

WHAT!? So you want this specific article to be deleted? Why?--Skittles the hog-- Talk 16:55, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
