Black Zones Edit

I am certain this is not in any of Max Brooks' works. If it is in any prominent and known zombie works, please someone cite the source. If this is original content, it does not belong in an article.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 03:05, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

More of a original fan fiction type of article then content as far as I can see. Unless a source is provided, which I lack to know of, it should be deleted. --Zombie ^{talk • blog} 10:56, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

I think perhaps there should be a page for theories and fan fiction so that we may voice our own opinions and show our theories and original content, this page shoul however npt be deleted due to the fact that it isnt "true" or "real" in your eyes. I believe that these theories are plausible and can happen so this article does seem valid, does it not? 38.104.158.106 15:21, June 6, 2011 (UTC)Zeddy

As is the case with most wiki's, article pages must meet an acceptible, and standardized level of quality and accuracy. Most visitors expect information when they search Zombiepedia, not fiction. How can Zombiepedia presume to be an authority on anything if conjecture is the norm? For those that insist on using this site as a form of self expression, we do allow User Plans and FanFiction pages, provided that they are consistent with the prevailing naming convention. Please search for either of those two, and see if you would like to move the content into a page like those. The Perch page sounds very much like a User Plan page would be more appropriate. However, Article (general) pages must cover either actual survival techniques or cited notable zombie works.

"Perch" Edit

Quotation marks are unacceptable for a article name. Also, the term is too vague. The principles of "piling" as well as being trapped in a base without supplies are great ideas for articles, provided they are well written, and have an effective and to-the-point title.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 16:49, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Standard loadout Edit

While I'm sure this is a broadly accepted term in military shooter video games, I am reluctant to believe it is a well known term in law enforcement or military circles. I also found little online about this, outside of video game websites. Assigning added value or recognition to phrases where it doesn't exist is not grounds for a new article. Please provide official sources where the term is defined as you have it.

Home Depot Edit

I nominated this for deletion for two reasons. The first is that it uses a brand name in a way that forms a terrible precedent. In other words, if we allow a home depot page, people might start adding a page for every McDonalds, Ace Hardware, In n Out Burger, Shop-Rite, etc, etc. Home Depot is a Big-box store. Perhaps a page for that might be in order, and mention Home Depot and Lowes in the same breath with Walmart and Target. That would be a viable article.

Zombies and Oceans Edit

While the original editor makes some good points, it is clear that he has not read World War Z. Please see our Solanum article for more information. The major issue, however, is if the relationship between Zombies and travelling the ocean is significant enough to warrant its own article. It's a close call, but I vote that it isn't - it is adequetely covered by several other articles on this wiki.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 18:27, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

Zombie Killing Edit

I did not nominate the page, but I do agree with its nomination. Anyone defending it? I'll let it stand a week in case someone can provide a feasible reason to keep it.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 21:10, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

Also agreeing with the nomination (on the article's talk page) is User:Teokaijie.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 21:15, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

I have decided with the inclusion of more content, such as if you should kill a zombie (risks of engagement over fleeing) as well as what areas of the skull to target, when it is worth it to maim the zombie first, etc, etc), then this might be original enough to warrant its own article, separate from (but linked to, both conceptually, and with a related link section) Zombie Durability.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 16:34, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

The Zombie Connection Edit

I feel this film is not notable enough to warrant an article on Zombiepedia. If anyone has any figures to cite or references in other works that might make it more relveant, please bring them forward.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 16:31, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

Lostzombies.com Edit

I have nothing against working with this group (although I would need to do a little more research before deciding if they're in line with the zombies and themes of this wiki), but the article for Lost Zombies that was placed here in 2009 was a trainwreck, visually speaking. I scrapped it entirely, as it's going to be easier just starting over, which I welcome a representitive from the Lost Zombies community to do. I kept a copy of the article in the sandbox, if it needs to be referenced.  — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 17:07, December 10, 2011 (UTC)

Animals Edit

This page has several serious issues.

• Animals used for Transport belong in Vehicles (yes, I know the word isn't perfectly accurate, but if a survivor is looking for a car or bike, that survivor would also want his animal alternatives to be on the same article).

• As far as how Zombies relate to animals other than humans there are three basic models.

• Max Brooks' Zombies try to eat them, and any bite (either from the animal or the zombie to the animal) causes the animal to die a fairly quick death due to Solanum poisoning.

• Other zombies, like in The Walking Dead, will try to eat the animal, but the animal may have a fighting chance.

• Zombies like those in Day of The Dead (2005) do not acknowledge animals one bit - they only see humans.

Because of this, it is rather difficult to make an Animals page that isn't overrun with exceptions. Also, the notion of getting a wild animal to fight as an ally is stretching believability - even for a Zombie Wiki.

Henceforth, I'm not flat out deleting the page, because there may be ways for this page to be salvaged. I'll leave it to other editors to discuss or modify.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 00:41, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Have been considering to changing the animal page with new categories (see the Animals talk page). That would mean deleting all pages of wild animals, leaving maybe some tips about approaching wild animals.

The feathered serpent 22:02, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, that's fine. I don't see too many directions to go with aren't basically overhauling the early version.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 22:14, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Mobile Bases Edit

I feel this page should be deleted for two reasons. First, much of the information is redundant - some of those vehicles have their own page, others are adequetely covered on the Vehicles page. Secondly, I'm not sure how we differentiate between a vehicle and a mobile base. One can even make a small car a mobile base, in fact, people live in small cars in every major city.

Another reason, and this is up for debate, is that since streets in a Zombie Apocalypse in most areas will be 3-5 times more populated by cars that cannot move (either out of gas, or dead/zombie inhabitants), I don't know if we want to suggest to tether ones survival to a vehicle. I think horses and bikes are better for overall travel, and having an actual walled or elevated base is better for bases.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 22:22, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

I would say that larger vehicles (trains, ships) would actually make good bases, at least if enogh fuel is scavengeable or can be made (biofuel). Still there is actually no point in having this page as its content exist or should be elsewhere. All those vehicles should be on the same named page, some content could also be at the survival without a base page. At last, someone silence that myth about that choppers can be airborne indefinatly by adding solarpanels. Just look at modern solarpanelplanes and you will know that the power from them is only enogh for small, one man, ultra-light vehicles. The power produced is not near the requerments of larger choppers. (Maybe I should add a solarpanel page explaining real uses of them)

Sexual Desire Edit

I'm going to try to suspend my disbelief that this article wasn't added as a joke. At Zombiepedia, all articles should be informative in one way or another. Telling people that sex with a zombie is a bad idea is not necessary, and brings nothing (but chuckles) to Zombiepedia. The only reason I didn't delete it outright is to see if anyone wants to use the page to explore the social and psychological difference and strains that romantic relationships face in a zombie apocalypse. That article would have some potential and some use.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 20:09, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Well this page has two potiental possibilitys. It could be used (in different form) as an page on zombiology (the biology of zombies) or (in very different form) as an article about human relationships (sexual or not) in zombie infested world (the argument of if you should or should not get attached to people).

PicturesEdit

Can anyone tell my why those pictures are candidates for deletion?

Zombie Outbreak/Apocalypse Do's and Don't's‎‎ Edit

This article has many issues.

1. It doesn't have any do's or don'ts. Actually it is not saying much of anything. If it is a placeholder article....well, those are not permitted.
2. The naming convention is invalid. If you are going to use a "/", it should be for Fan Fiction or a User Plan.
3. Even if this article does take shape, there are already too many pages that are about general Tips, or guides.
4. The tone is not suited for an encyclopedia.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 14:14, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

Ashley GrahamEdit

The article has a few problems that need to be brought to attention.

1. It is useless. No one wants to know about her, and if they do, they should go on the resident evil wiki.
2. As I said before, it belongs on the Resident Evil wiki.
3. It provides little details at all.
4. It gives no advice or help for an actual apocolypse.

True. Also there are many more pages with Resident Evil characters that should be deleted. The feathered serpent 17:03, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

On the peripheral Resident Evil characters, I am still mulling it over, and waiting to see if anyone else wants to weigh in. As they are very high quality articles, they don't make the wiki look as bad as most deletion candidates, so they are very low priority cases, in my opinion.

On the matter of Barbara, I very strongly disagree. Barbara is the sole survivor of the first zombie (as we know them) attack in their fictional history (the graveyard). Barbara's lack of competence under duress showed that a groups weak link could be just as dangerous to the well-being of the group as the hothead who won't cooperate or the zombies themselves.

While primarily a zombie survival wiki, with slants towards Max Brooks' works, Zombiepedia does also document notable zombie media. There are large grey areas as to what works are notable enough, and discussion is a great way to parse through it. But just because it is on a Resident Evil wiki (or Left 4 Dead, or any other wiki) does not disqualify it from inclusion on Zombiepedia.

Variety BatEdit

Nominated because (1) We have enough areas devoted to bats and modifications, and (2) No one calls it that - Inventing terms is prohibited.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 19:55, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

Types of Survivors Edit

Zombiepedia articles are about zombie analysis and survival. I fail to see how classifying people is in any way useful or relevant. However, I am open to discussion on this.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 13:34, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Vampiric Zombies Edit

While I can't agree with the logic of the page, I don't see how we can come up with enough content to validate an article on the subject without creating original content, which is prohibited. Even if we do, the topic occurs so rarely, it doesn't really bring much to the table, and I don't think many would read it.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 13:44, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

Delete. Definitely delete. Conqueror of all Zombies (talk) 22:33, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

Halo Edit

This article was nominated because the evidence that the Flood are Zombies is tenuous at best. They are alive, intelligent, and I believe show some signs of an organized society. The fact that they attack in waves, and transform their adversaries are not enough. At least the Borg shamble, and have the right skin tone, but they are certainly not zombies. The easter egg does not go far at all in proving that the Flood are zombies.

Zombie gun Edit

While the destroy all humans series is a notable enough franchise, because zombies have so little to do with the games theme, I feel there just isn't enough crossover to warrant inclusion on this wiki. Unless anyone can offer a good argument to keep it, I will probably delete it in a week or so.

 — <<— Philodox —>> ^talk 18:38, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

Fate of Wildlife Edit

This article is nominated for several reasons. The major reason is that it doesn't actually inform the reader. It's basic message is "either they'll all die, or just some of them, or none of them". This is not helpful. Also, even for a zombie wiki, it is extremely speculative. It strays from the format in the Manual of Style in many ways. Lastly, the title is rather long and not direct enough.

Zombies in Warhammer40K - Grey Knights Edit

Warhammer 40K does meet the notability requirements for an article on Zombiepedia. However, one scenario in one of hundreds of supplimental guides in the franchise does not. Also, zombies are so peripheral to the Warhammer universe, that Warhammer does not meet standards of relevance on Zombiepedia.
