| − | == Weapon Associations Revisisted ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is a question I'd like to present simply because I can't think of a really clear-cut answer. Some of these poses (e.g. many of the Soldier ones) are directly tied to a weapon, or have a weapon in the actual model/on the TF2 blog. However, some of these (like the Scout pose) were not directly aimed at marketing the Scattergun so much as the double-jump-crouch bug. I'm just thinking we need a sort of standard:
| |
| − | 1) Do we include a weapon associated only if the weapon was a part of the actual pose?
| |
| − | 1a) Should we only include weapons if the pose was made for the marketing of that weapon? (e.g. Scout pose)
| |
| − | 2) If a pose is related to a weapon (e.g. Demoman poses for Victory/loss), should the weapon be added to the pose.
| |
| − | 2a) If a pose is lacking a weapon, should the "Weapon Associated" column stay empty?
| |

| − | == Sources of poses, and criteria for being on this page? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm not sure what the point of this page really is...the images are merely close (but still not entirely accurate, most noticably) recreations of the poses used on the pages, rather than the actual poses. It seems like a lot of needless work, and comes off more as a showcase of some guy recreating a bunch of official images with the models. Also, there's no real sources for the "unused" War Update images with Soldier and Demoman. Or if there are, they certainly aren't on this page. I feel like that's very necessary.
| |
| − | | |
| − | But what I want to know most is, what exactly should be on this page? I feel like it COULD be useful, but it's very non-specific as to what should go here. Would the classes as they appear on the class selection screen go here? Their official pictures or HUD images? Or should it only be limited to images Valve posted on the blog or for update promo pages? I feel like the biggest reason this page is so incomplete is simply because what it's trying to collect is very unclear. It'd be fun to fix this page up if I even knew what was supposed to go here!

| − | :{{c|oppose}} I oppose deletion. While trivial, these poses have been used to promote important parts of TF2's history. If anything, they should be reimplemented into the articles they promote (WAR! Update, post-war update, Demoman/Soldier/Heavy article, etc). Sorry, forgot my tildes.

| − | :{{c|oppose}} This is a stub. More so, this page is intended to be expanded on to include more than just the marketing poses of the game. We've been debating how far to go with it, but the people involved in it haven't really had time to do so. Furthermore, you've given no other reason for its deletion other than it "not serving any notable purpose." I could run over to [[Skins]] page and say that it "serves no notable purpose" for the very reason that it doesn't cover anything overly important (by the logic being applied here). I'd rather discuss what's "wrong" with the page so we can work to fix it before we nuke the page entirely. [[User:StarYoshi|StarYoshi]] 22:06, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

| − | ::Sheesh, calm down StarYoshi. The purpose of the page wasn't clear to me, and I only suggested to remove it after much consideration. Once I spoke with seb, he informed me of what the page was intended to list, and I agree with him--it is both notable and interesting. I think everyone who voted for deletion thought the article was a bit of nonsense. Without context, the poses seemed arbitrary, and the only criteria for disposing of arbitrary info is its lack of notability. Hence the succinct reason I gave, and hence the hasty agreement of the first few people to look at the article. I switch my vote to oppose my own request.

| − | | |
| − | The article is a stub, and I don't see it expanding any more. I'd like to put each pose in to the taunt page for each individual class. Like the Crazy Legs would be moved to [[Scout taunts]], all the Demoman poses would be moved to [[Demoman taunts]], each under a ==Marketing Pose== secion. Yay or nay?

I get these having their own page, but it'd be a teeny bit more neat to have them filed under their own classes I think. Either way, thoughts?

| − | Well, apparently from above, there were previous suggestions about deleting this page. Considering that the discussion is years old, I'm opening a new one. I support the deletion of this page, Marketing Poses are no longer in the game files anyway, and the poses are not used anywhere in the game either. I think all the page and related images could be deleted as well.
