Talk:SCP Foundation
Why is this here? Did the SCP wiki recently come out with a board game I'm not aware of or was this page just made for the hell of it? -- Triacom (talk) 05:48, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
- As far as I know, it's the latter. Wouldn't be the first time someone made a page that had nothing to do with /tg/.--Newerfag (talk) 14:28, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
- This is just like the Anonymous page I put up for deletion, we should delete it.
Please don't delete.[edit]
I for one vote in favor of not deleting this page, but I guess we should set a few limits on what can be written here so it doesn't get too long or too messy. Since I don't have an account on this website I know my opinion doesn't really matter so I will leave this alone and not say anything else for now. Good bye. --2600:1700:F5B0:CE30:4521:C407:4F26:2B5C 09:13, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
- What does the article have to do with anything besides a token mention/forced relevance? That should be the only question anyone should have when making an article and if it can't be answered then the article shouldn't be here.
Forcing relevance by putting in articles that themselves are about tabletop games isn't reason to keep it around, it just means you're desperate to keep it after you realized the article doesn't have anything to do with what the wiki's about. The article itself isn't about SCP-3973 or SCP-1974-EX, they're incidental, and even if it was they're on the wrong pages (they'd be better off on the Ultramarines and Dice pages respectively, though I wouldn't recommend adding either to those pages), you're just using them to try and justify everything else on here. An article on the actual site itself has no more reason to be here than a page on the entirety of fanfiction.net (and other similar sites) because 40k fanfiction exists. Neither of them belong here. -- Triacom (talk) 01:15, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm struggling to find a reason as to how we let this sit so long (besides SaltyMan's usual bullshit I imagine, and even that seems tenuous). --LGX-000 (talk) 01:32, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
- Just to be clear: I'm also neutral as to deleting this page (if you want to improve my opinion, you'll need to add a "how to set a campaign in this setting" section, at the very least); I only figured that if we're going to have it, we should at least include a listing of SCPs that are at least minimally /tg/ relevant. Saarlacfunkel (talk) 01:43, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
- Even a section on setting a campaign's going to be flimsy as fuck, since the only reason that would exist now would be to try and save the page and the person who made it wouldn't have made it otherwise, it's just going to be more forced relevance in an attempt to justify everything else.
I can see how some people might see pages similar to this as /tg/ relevant since they contain a wealth of campaign ideas, but maybe we should consider just having one page for sites like this. A list of sites with a one or two sentence description of each should be plenty to point people in the right direction. A listing of good sites for campaign is /tg/ relevant, but there's no real need for a complete rundown of the site when one or two sentences is enough. Mindwarp (talk) 07:54, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
- I could probably accept that, honestly. --LGX-000 (talk) 09:40, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
- We already have a page for various campaigns, if you want to put other ideas on that one then go ahead, just so long as they actually are a fully fleshed out campaign setting with rules that you can pick up and play, and not just bullshit where you go "This setting seems kinda cool, see what you can do with it!" -- Triacom (talk) 18:54, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
Conclusion: No one actually cares to delete it, as evidenced by it staying for over a year without this discussion continuing or action being taken. Therefore, it stays. --Auroch (talk) 03:05, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
