Talk:Metroid Prime

we wouldnt need wanted pages if jerks would stop makeing pages like this.Dragonstetraforce


 * Whoa, dude, calm down. It's been a policy for a while (although not exercised for the past year or so) that some Nintendo non-Zelda articles are allowed. I personally believe that we should just keep the ones that pertain to Zelda in some way (Animal Crossing, amongst others), but hey, not my policy. And what do you mean by "we wouldn't need wanted pages"??
 * Also, if you think something should be deleted, be sure to add to the top of that article as well as stating why on the talk page. It makes it easier for us to catch which pages should be deleted.  04:00, 11 September 2008 (UTC)


 * ANYONE WHO INSULTS SAMUS ARAN SHALL DIE!!!


 * That aside, I thought the policy was that although this is mainly a Zelda Wiki (hence the title), any game involving Shigeru Miyamoto received a passing mention, and a full article should those games involve Link, Princess Zelda or maybe Ganondorf in some way. I'm not sure how we stand on the Captain Rainbow article, what with the biggest Zelda character being Crazy Tracy... --Felicia&#39;s Champion 23:46, 11 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, the policy just states that "some general Nintendo content is allowed". It just happens to be that the old list of Miyamoto's works had a lot of other games on it, and so people thought "hey, those should be articles!". I don't know, perhaps the we should think about re-working that part of the policy? 00:42, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

If good Miyomoto had a hand in it, then I don't have a problem with having an article for it. 02:00, October 27, 2008 (UTC)


 * Or if we can find a legitimate way to tie it to Zelda, one would suppose? 03:20, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Should this actually be deleted? I mean, if this is allowed, don't you think an article for the game Kirby would be necessary, or an article for the Pokemon games. I mean, Metroid does have some relation I suppose, but the material on this article seems quite useless. If it is kept, it should just be titled Metroid and not Metroid Prime.

 * I'd say keep it, but as Metroid(game) and dump the Metroid enemy article. 05:29, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think we should have it at all, it does not pertain to Zelda in anyway. The fact that a trailer for Prime was included on MQ is not an excuse to keep this article. Besides trailers for Wario World and F-Zero GX had trailers on the disc as well, and they don't have articles. It's one thing with Animal Crossing games, because they have quite a few Zelda references, but Metroid Prime has none. 13:19, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Deletion
This is Zelda Wiki, not Nintendo Wiki. It doesn't belong here because there's not even any Zelda cameos. So let's get to the deletion. 03:28, 3 January 2010 (UTC) ✅
 * 1) Honestly, the only bit about Zelda on this entire page could be a bit of trivia on the Link's Awakening and Master Quest pages. And with no other relevance, I'm afraid I'm gonna agree to gut this one. 03:38, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Same. Sorry Ax, like Steve mentioned above, the other games that had trailers in MQ don't have their own page. MP shouldn't get special treatment. Dany36 03:40, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I too agree. I was never a real fan of games other than Zelda getting extensive coverage.  If a game mentions something Zelda-related put it in the Cameos section.  If it's a specific character mention it in the character's page and if it's a character from a different franchise just mention it in the trivia section of the game(s) from which that character appeared in.

 * 4) With four votes for and one against, this page looks like it's going down. 04:45, 3 January 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) I think it should stay. However, that's on the condition that all of the Metroid pages are merged into one. 03:41, January 3, 2010 (UTC) 03:41, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Revisiting
This should be sufficient cause to reevaluate what Zelda Wiki can and will offer. I still don't think in-depth coverage should be done, especially now that we work with a Metroid wiki and NWiki. However, a general article with a basic overview of what Metroid games are and what was mentioned before (trailer in MQ), repeat the Metroid-Zelda cameos in the article, and use the dual game box for the infobox image. Furthermore, external links to Metroid Wiki can only help them.

Should Flagship later decide to release its Kirby and Four Swords GBA games together with a shared image on the cover, I'll definitely have an article on WiKirby in the same manner. The intent would be the same as what Nintendo may have intended, to promote similar games of differing series to fans of another. 09:06, 3 February 2011 (EST)
 * If anything, this belongs in the cameos page, or on a new page. 13:02, 6 February 2011 (EST)
