Merging Installation 01

NO ACTION

See here unconvinced opposition, so there is no agreement/consensus seen to merge Installation 01 into this Halo article. Closure requested at WP:CR (permalink). Good health to all! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 18:11, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Installation 01 got a burst of coverage back in the day, but it effectively doesn't exist as a product. Coming up on eight years since it was announced, there's not even a playable form of the game anymore; they announced back in July they were switching engines and that most content besides art and design was lost. More to the point, that news and anything since the burst of coverage from 2015 and 2017 hasn't been covered in secondary sources, and most of what's currently in the article is prose line lists of things that didn't come to fruition or are obviated by more recent events (there's PC versions of Halo now.) This feels like something that can be covered in the main article in context with other fan efforts. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 19:53, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The game is still posting development updates, with the last one being just yesterday, so it's premature to declare it dead and goes into the realm of WP:CRYSTALBALL to say that it probably won't be made. If the project had been announced as abandoned, I may have changed my tune, but we're talking about an active fangame in progress that has gotten significant coverage. There is no apparent reason to merge. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:38, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fair question to ask. The only "coverage" since 2017 from the search engines is this teaser. Which may as well not have been published at all for as useful as it is. It'd probably be fair to merge it. Not sure what it ends up looking like in this article since this article doesn't even mention the project today. Izno (talk) 02:30, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It's not a halo game. It may be based off it but it's not. Why would we add to to the main franchise page something that has nothing to do with it and is merely a product from fans of the series?Spooderman6920 (talk) 16:27, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Because the franchise article already covers non-official and fan content. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 18:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Forge (level editor)

The standalone notability of Forge mode is questionable, to me—coverage doesn't revolve around the Forge mode itself, but just occasional minor coverage of stuff like Forge recreations or game modes. It can effectively be discussed, and whatever impact it had, in the descriptions of the games, and legacy section of this article. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 15:58, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merch Number figure

According to License Global Over $1.8 billion has been spent on Halo merchandise. Can this be added? User:David Fuchs
