Talk:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Credits

Necessary?
Uh, I hardly think this page is necessary. If no one objects or gives a really good reason for it needing to be here, I'm going to delete it. 01:22, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, go for it. No need to have it. :/ Dany36 22:47, 27 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Keep it, but restyle it and even add a Youtube video or images. You should want to credit the people behind the games behind this wiki. It would also be good to add in the link section to the game article. Many of them have Wikipedia articles to link to for more information. 01:28, 28 October 2010 (EDT)

I would like to disagree on this decision of deleting these Staff list articles. It would cut out potential links to an upcoming wiki I am working on in NIWA. This decision would limit how users would want to find out more about these people who worked on these types of Zelda games, no matter how obscure or popular this person is. If I were you guys, you should appreciate the people who worked on these types of Zelda games all over the years and keep the list - just like me appreciating the staff who made those Mario games. Whoever out there who played those games, thank them. --RAP 01:52, 28 October 2010 (EDT)
 * These names should definitely be somewhere on this wiki, if not here. I don't think it's a matter of non-gratitude that they are disputing the page, I think it more has to do with its lack of "article-ness", as it appears more like a listing. I could see a full article working out: Take the individual positions these contributors specialized in, and make a paragraph describing the contributions of those people, intermixing games. For example, the position of Sound Technician could have anyone that worked in that field on any game in the same paragraph. This would cut down on redundancy while also making sure to credit everyone without the need for a long list. AND the page would appear more article-like. If possible we should find a way to make a page that can encompass the entire credits list of every game, so that everything is all in one place. Look at this example:

--

Shigeru Miyamoto, Eiji Aonuma, Koji Kondo, etc.
Important and influential contributors may get their own paragraphs.

Sound Technician
Such positions with many changes between games may have paragraphs that focus on the collective group that performed a specific task.

At the end, if there are positions unique to any game, they can be listed (contributor, position, game) at the end. 11:47, 28 October 2010 (EDT)

 * ^That sounds like a good idea. 16:18, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
