File:Windjammers (Neo Geo) Characters.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion[edit]

It might be worth it to mention that the game received an award from Giant Bomb in 2013, as seen here: http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/giant-bomb-s-2013-game-of-the-year-awards-day-one/1100-4803/64.229.36.46 (talk) 13:43, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Lot of unsourced material[edit]

This seems like a tricky article because it's from a time where there's a lot less easy to source coverage than there is now, for a less mass market system and a relatively obscure game. Would love to make improvement to the article but that might be tricky without getting some physical magazines from around the period.

However right now the content of the article practically seems like a game manual, I'm not sure all the stuff about characters and game maps is really appropriate for Wikipedia. But I don't want to just delete it all without discussing it here first.

Is anyone else watching this page who has opinions in this? Windjam (talk) 22:18, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Windjammers (video game)Windjammers – Per WP:PLURALPT, generally people who search for the sailing ship will use the singular form of the word, making a separate primary topic for the plural form. The sports teams also called Windjammers don't have nearly as many pageviews, and are only partial title matches. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 23:54, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. We almost always redirect plurals to the singular title, unless the the plural name and the different thing it refers to are better known than the singular and it's different referent. We cannot presume that all readers are familiar with WP:SINGULAR, especially since various editors aren't.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  02:15, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
