Complaining: Darth Wiki.Bland Branded Board Game

This page should be easy to deal with. It also overlaps with Duplicate Trope and Not Thriving, but complaining is the root issue.

From what I can tell, Bland Branded Board Game is just The Board Game but you’re allowed to be cruel and over dramatic with your examples. The description is largely copy-pasted from The Board Game, and it overall just seems like a page someone created because they have a bone to pick with board game adaptations and was upset that The Board Game wouldn’t allow such negativity. It also has a grand total of one wick, that being the DarthWiki.This Exists page, so it isn’t like the page is catching on either.

As what to do with the page, I honestly don’t think there is much reason to keep it around. It doesn't even cover a specific phenomenon similar to something like The Problem with Licensed Games or Video Game Movies Suck, so I don't think leaving it in Darth Wiki makes sense. Therefore, I think the appropriate two step solution is this:

  1. Move relevant information on the page on either The Board Game or So Bad, It's Horrible if it’s not already included in those pages.
  2. Cut the page and remove its one wick.

I am good with merging relevant information to The Board Game or So Bad, It's Horrible (I don't think that's necessary though and then cutting DarthWiki.Bland Branded Board Game.

Good with a cut. I don't agree that the examples are "cruelly written", most of them just seem to be examples also transferred from The Board Game, but that doesn't make a case for the page needing to exist so either way it should go.

Not sure about this one. Yeah, there's no point to it existing, but that goes for most of the Darth Wiki and Sugar Wiki articles. Aren't they extensions of the Just For Fun namespace?

This page doesn't even have a good point though. It's literally just a copy and paste of The Board Game with some random bashing slipped in. You can't even call it a joke. Normally I defend Darth Wiki, but this offers nothing.

It's DW so I kinda don't care what happens to it. Leaning on cut as I don't see significant difference from it's not-complaining counterpart.

Oh thanks for the ping. Can’t link to it now as I’m on mobile but I wanted to note that this Darth item was born from a TRS thread for The Board Game that basically agreed to dump the complaining examples on Darth.

We would probably not do that if it went through TRS today. I agree with cutting.

Cut it.

I also enjoy the irony of cutting a DW page for complaining.

With a measly one wick and plenty of votes in favor of cutting, let's waive the Three-Day Rule for this one and get out the scissors.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

As expected for a page with one wick, it didn't take long, so locking up.
