Talk:First Game

I strongly disagree with the suggestion of deleting the article on the First Game kingdom. The First Game kingdom has an important role in many people's understanding of Dominion, since it's the first kingdom most people play and introduces people to the basic card mechanics; the strategy article on how to build an engine in the First Game kingdom was highly influential and changed people's understanding of the Base set; and First Game strategy is of particular value in introducing new people to Dominion. I can understand the argument for not having strategy articles on a ton of specific kingdoms, but I think the First Game kingdom has a special status and ought to be kept. Also, I strongly object to marking articles for deletion unilaterally with no discussion; no, discussion on Discord does not count; the Dominion Discord does not own this wiki or constitute the only users and editors of it.Ajd (talk) 14:31, 16 May 2021 (EDT)

Sure, First Game is special and can deserve to actually have a strategy page, I'm just not sure how to discourage the creation of (poorly done) copycat pages e.g. Size Distortion, and culling all Kingdom-specific pages seems like a reasonable way to nip that in the bud. Also, when you mention the "highly influential" article, are you referring to Geronimoo's 2012 article? Because that reads very differently with what's currently on this page, and I'm not even convinced the advice on this page is all that sound.

As for the "deleting pages" issue, how else do you suggest we delete pages? Tagging it as "pending deletion" and seeing if anyone opens up the Talk page (exactly like what we're doing) seems the most reasonable method to me. Also, I don't see the point in bashing discussion on the Dominion Discord when the forum is pretty quiet and there's not an easy way to mass communicate on meta-level wiki-related matters on the wiki. --Terracubist (talk) 00:47, 17 May 2021 (EDT)
