This is a page where all RfDs (requests for deletion) should be placed. RfDs are needed when adding a {{Delete}} tag can/has cause(d) opposition to the deletion and when community consensus will be required to proceed with deleting the page.

RfDs should run for a week since their deployment. After a week, the following process should be executed by an admin or bureaucrat (preferrably one not involved in the discussion to maintain neutrality):

• Determine where the consensus points to (keep or delete). If there is no clear consensus, extend it for another week.

• If there is clear consensus, the thread should be closed and the reason and process posted by the admin. If the consensus is to delete, the admin should proceed with deleting the page.

EndingsEdit

I've been thinking about this one for a while. I know a lot of users do think this page works, but it's just a gigantic, repetitive article that, overtime, is going to fall into neglection anyways. As a sidenote, a lot of these issues have been brought up on Talk:Endings, but no one has really given a reason as to why this page should stay. This request will hopefully encourage supporters of the Endings page to clear those reasons up.

Okay, concerns:

1. Needless, neglected updating - Multiple games are missing from this page. Hardly anyone has updated it to actually add an ending since at least September 2012. Most users add the endings on their specific game pages instead of the Endings page, and I would assume most visitors visit the specific game pages to read the ending as well.
2. Length - This page has to accomodate about a hundred endings to various Nitrome games. If Nitrome continues to release more games at the rate they're going, it's going to be dastardly difficult to search up the ending of one specific game by browsing a long table of contents, even if everything if organized in alphabetical order. Compare this to searching up the ending to a specific game on the game page. Much easier, is it not?
3. Presentation - First the spoiler cover. Okay, that might make sense considering the fact that I'm about to see multiple endings before my eyes. So I click the "yes" confirmation, and am presented with a gigantic sea of spoiler templates. What is the point of a spoiler cover covering a large mass of spoiler templaes? If anything, either the spoiler cover is kept on the page, or the spoiler templates, but certainly not both. The presentation of a grey sea of spoiler templates looks dizzying enough anyways.
4. Searching - If I wanted to look up an ending to a particular game but didn't want to spoil all the other game endings for myself, why would I even go to a page called "endings"? Like I said earlier, it would be a lot easier to find the "Endings" section on a specific game article than having to scroll through one on the "Endings" article. If we maintain this consistency with our game articles (which we do, for the most part), then visitors will catch on.
5. Purpose - The opening sentence of this article is quite vague, spoonfeeding and pretty much characterizes a lot of Flash games or just gaming in general. Unless the endings of Nitrome games have a very significant trait that differs from other games out there (and they don't, by the way), then I highly, highly doubt anyone is going to be confused as to what an ending is.

"Endings" is only lengthy for its long list of endings, and without the list, we just get a generic opening sentence about the meaning of an ending (an ending is seen at the end of a Nitrome game - no really, I'm shocked) and perhaps some outdated trivia. It's just an absolute, frustrating mess that needs to be dealt with, either by deleting the page altogether or finding a more presentable way to characterize significant fact. From the looks of it though, "Endings" offers none of that and should be deleted.

Support - - Yeah, I don't think I would ever go to this page for an ending. I'd go to appropriate game page. --Talk to ^NU 12:18, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

Oppose - - A while ago, I planned on updating this page, but I didn't really do much. If this page is not deleted, however, I will work on updating it. Then it will be easy to update it every time a game is released, as you can just put the latest ending in a new section. Anyway, I like the idea of a collection of endings in one article. In order to quickly get to a game ending, you can just hit Ctrl + F, then search for the game name. I think the spoiler cover should be removed, as you said, because there are already spoiler templates over each ending. While endings may not be the most complex thing about Nitrome, I think the collection of them is useful and should be kept, kind of like startups and menu. -- Ayernam 12:52, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
