Talk:E-100 Series

Listen Up!

I don't care what you think Cigraphix and Man in Black, the PAGE STAYS! Understood!? User:Looney Guy

Where is the necessary reliable sourcing and real-world context to show its notability, though? Arguments alone the lines of "I like it" are not enough to justify inclusion on Wikipedia. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 21:40, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

But the Chaotix have a page like this. Why not the E-100 model machines too? User:Looney Guy —Preceding undated comment added 00:40, 6 May 2009 (UTC).

Using the Chaotix is an "other stuff exists" arguement that is also an argument to avoid just like the "I like it" arguement. Haipa Doragon described (and provided links to) several of the most important rules of Wikipedia - which all articles must follow. Furthermore a similar page had already existed (E-Series (Sonic the Hedgehog)) and concensus among editors after a painstaking debate was to merge it to List of recurring characters from Sonic the Hedgehog (games).

Then why can't you put Main Article on it? User:Looney Guy —Preceding undated comment added 13:34, 6 May 2009 (UTC).

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking why can't the E-series have their own page? If you are then what it needs is to have all of the information in it to be verified with reliable sources to prove notability just as Haipa Doragon said - look at Wikipedia:Featured_articles and you will see everything establish that (every little number put in those paragraphs links to its referenced reliable source in the References section at the bottom of the page). I looked for reliable sources for the E-series back when the debate about merging happened and found almost nothing, and I doubt that's changed; so the compromise to merge it to List of recurring characters from Sonic the Hedgehog (games) rather than outright deletion is the best we got.

Well, three things. 1. There the E-100 Series, just a part of the E-Series. 2. I need help finding images of the other members and more information. And 3. They are the most popular Eggman robots. User:Looney Guy —Preceding undated comment added 20:16, 6 May 2009 (UTC).

I don't care who did it this time, but the page STAYS! User:Looney Guy —Preceding undated comment added 16:07, 12 May 2009 (UTC).

Arguments like WP:ILIKEIT aren't valid on Wikipedia; all articles must follow the notability guideline, which this currently fails to do. Unless reliable sources can be provided to show such notability, there is no valid reason for this article to exist. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 16:59, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

All this page needs is more information about the robots themselves, thats all! User:Looney Guy —Preceding undated comment added 17:23, 12 May 2009 (UTC).

No, it needs reliable, third-party sources to show real-world context. It doesn't need just information on the robots themselves, but independent sources to verify the subject's notability, justifying its inclusion on Wikipedia. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 17:36, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Well why don't you ask them what to do, they can ethier put main article on the E-Series part of the page, let it put some more information, or make a new orginazations page. User:Looney Guy —Preceding undated comment added 18:42, 12 May 2009 (UTC).

Ask who? Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 19:02, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
