FFXIclopedia:AfD Discussions/Airspirit's RDM 101 Guide

Delete: Where did you originally get this Guide? Since you didn't write it, do you have the person who DID write it permission... While you are saying this is just for historical purposes only, I am not sure on having this here when it is so large, on many pages where people aren't seeing it is just for historical purposes and it isnt even the original author posting it here... Esp since this apparently came from Alla. When posting on Alla, while we do want to be informative, we don't want to put something on here that really has no place in the current FFXI and isn't even of your own work. If it was one page, that is one thing, but this is seemingly going onto many pages. I just don't think it belongs here in its current form and think it and its following pages: Airspirit's RDM 101 Guide Page 2 & Airspirit's RDM 101 Guide Page 3 should be deleted from here. --Nynaeve 11:19, 28 August 2006 (EDT)

Delete: If this is not a current guide, and has alot of very outdated information, it should not be included here. If you were to update the information to include how the job is played today, rather than how it was when this guide was originally created, I would withdraw my objection, and suggest you move the guide to a proper naming format so people can more easily find it ("Red Mage: Guide by Airspirit"). --Chrisjander 12:16, 28 August 2006 (EDT)

Comment: Still, even if he updates it, he is plagerizing someone else's words if he adds his own in on top of the original editors and I still haven't seen that he has gained permission to use this and until he says he has, I don't think it should be here. --Nynaeve 14:31, 28 August 2006 (EDT)

Deletion [1] This is the link to the guide on Allakhazam, where Airspirit posted it initially. There is nowhere a notion of Airspirit wanting that guide to be reposted elsewhere, or that he allows it. Check for youself if you like.--Gisselle 19:31, 28 August 2006 (EDT)

Delete: We don't need a copy and paste from the Alla forums here. I didn't read this guide "growing up" as a RDM, and I don't think it needs to be here for any "historical purposes" at all. I breezed through page 4, and I wouldn't even recommend some of the macros to anyone. Could be some good stuff in this massive guide, but I don't think it belongs here unless the original author decides to create the artcile and maintain it on his/her own. It is obvious the wiki article's author did not create this guide. They have even left Alla page edit comments at the end of it --Ganiman 07:54, 29 August 2006 (EDT)

Delete: I agree with the statements above that this article does not belong here especially without the consent of the original author. It is outdated and has unnecessary commentary such as "HAHAHAHA" preceding certain issues. Its "history" started with Allakhazam and already is preserved there for those that seek it. -Nivlakian 12:33, 31 August 2006 (EDT)
