{{prod}} removed after a single reference was added. The article had been completely unreferenced for more than six months. It's almost completely original research. Mikeblas (talk) 12:03, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- How do you know? Did you actually look for sources yourself, as both Wikipedia:Guide to deletion#Nomination and our Wikipedia:Deletion policy say to do?
I did, and found ISBN 0596008848, page 587 of ISBN 1592730043, page 30 of ISBN 1584503440, page 177 of ISBN 0761532994, page 392 of ISBN 1584500778, and page 264 of ISBN 3540245758 (a.k.a. doi:10.1007/b106134) in under 2 minutes. There's even this from which further tidbits of knowledge on this subject can be gleaned.
Look for sources yourself and try to fix the article. Only bring articles to AFD if, after looking, you cannot find sources from which to make an article. And don't be afraid of boldly rewriting unsourced content into fully-sourced brilliant prose, and of merging, renaming, and refactoring articles about tangentially documented subjects into articles about the overall subjects that sources document — none of which require AFD.

- Keep - Rename Circle strafing Has 15,000 hits on google, including numerous game guides and this verifiable definition [1]. Lack of references and OR do not justify the deletion of an article if it is still notable. I would recommend the name change because that seems to be the much more common convention (see [2] compared with [3]). Joshdboz (talk) 13:55, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep/Rename per Joshboz. The nomination of this article borders on the absurd. --Mdmkolbe (talk) 19:49, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. Not sure where this should be proposed, but Straferunning should probably also be renamed to Strafe running (currently a redirect to Straferunning) or Strafe Running as google indicates it's a more common spelling. --Mdmkolbe (talk) 22:13, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Article talk pages are usually fine. --Kizor (talk) 00:09, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
