Forum:Literary Technique pages: delete

Joekido has created many pages that are essentially unnecessary and highly unrelated with One Piece. Those eight literary technique pages (and the Supernatural Abilities that he also created, above others if I am missing any) are not needed, since they are not part of the storyline. They are merely telling how authors write a story, and do not actually function within the story like a bounty or Devil Fruit. Please think about whether these pages should remain or be deleted.

 * On a related issue, I think that Seiyū, Voice Actors, and Production Companies and all related pages should be eradicated as well, as they are too vague in relation to the storyline itself. Yatanogarasu 01:24, January 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * The latter were created in good faith, but never took off ground. The first half, yeah, thats a "Joekido page" he means well, the overkeeness just backfires every so often.


 * As for Joekido's lot, just sort out if theres ground for delete and move on. Every so often, he gets something right and you have to admit its worth keeping. As annoying as these kind of pages are, patience with him can pay off sometimes. ^_^' One-Winged Hawk 01:33, January 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the literary technique pages should be kept. On Oda's page it said that this wikia is dedicated to not only OP but Oda's other works as well. I think that can be extended to include how he writes the story, and although they haven't been stated in the manga directly, there are those literary devices. Going Merry's final act was a deus ex machina, Blackbeard showing up at Marineford was a plot twist. I think they are relevant.DancePowderer 01:41, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure how I feel about these. Whenever examples from One Piece are used they can be pretty interesting... Actually I have a problem with some other pages that that I feel have even less of a reason to be on here. Like Captain Hook and other misc. pirates. I don't understand why we don't just link to other sites in the "external links" section of whatever it's being referred from, when those other sites are far more likely to have detailed information about those various characters/people... Anyway, the voice actors and production pages should be kept. They're still an integral part of One Piece, and I think they may be expanded eventually. Where as the other Literary devices page... hm, maybe they could all be merged into one? -- YazzyDream  02:18, January 29, 2011 (UTC)
