Wikipedia:Sandbox/Word Association[edit]

There was a vaguely valid reason to keep this last time this was nominated, in that people would read the links made and learn more about the encyclopedia. However, the situation is now ridiculous, this game has spawned 14 archives (who the hell looks at those?) and eighteen variant games. There is far too much effort going into this and it needs to go. Light hearted games are all very well but this is too far. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 14:32, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And the GNAA was nominated 18 times before it was deleted. What's your point? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 17:20, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nominations should not be determined on the precedence of unlike subjects.--WaltCip 12:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just basing it on the fact it's been nominated for deletion and been kept several times already. I would go for deleting the archives, though I think it would be a good idea to keep the previous game (only) since someone who had played it might like to see how it turned out.Squad51 02:04, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Having never nominated Word Association before for deletion, I suggest you check your facts before being incivil. It only makes you look stupid. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 10:18, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for being a jerk, but I still stand by my assertions that this is ridiculous. Underorbit 11:59, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In all fairness to Underorbit, the previous deletion notices on the Talk page are incorrect - they all point to this discussion, so it is quite easily to mistakenly think that it was Dev who nominated the pages before. Koweja 16:21, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't compare oranges to apples. Wikipedia is not a job, it is a place where people get to spend time contributing to this encyclopedia. You do not get any pay, unlike an ACTUAL job. People need a little fun time, to, for example, reduce their Wikistress level. ~~Eugene2x Sign here ☺ ~~ 17:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the rest[edit]

It's been 10 years; the rest of the redirects can probably be deleted.
