Talk:Interviews

I've been wondering for a while now... where are the 2012 interviews? I think there have been a few, though they might not have been transcribed. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 152.3.141.5 (talk).

Outdated[edit]

As per above, this article has had some serious lack of attention.

  • Is it worth our time to keep it around?
  • Perhaps it'd be better to direct readers to the link round-ups ArenaNet occasionally posts as a blog entry?
  • Is it realistic to reboot this article at this time, anyway?

And if we do decide to keep it;

  • Are there users out there who would dedicate themselves to maintaining this article? In the past it was mostly Aspectacle updating it, but we sincerely can't shove the responsibilities of this article on one user.
  • Is there a way to make the article more noticeable as to encourage other users to help keeping it up to date?

Personally I'd archive it and merge it into the News article archives, mainly because there will be a massive gap inbetween October 5th 2011 and May 2012. Whether we start fresh from the nearby future onward or not would be up to the community. - Infinite - talk 12:11, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

it was certainly easier to maintain when there were less of them. I think that it is not especially useful when it is just a list because you don't know what each interview is about, so you can't find anything even if you wanted to. So I'd either support a merger into news or total abandonment in favor of articles still using references or 'see also' to interviews if there was something interesting or unusual said which needs to be remembered related a specific topic. -- aspectacle User Aspectacle.png 14:17, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
Well for a while these interviews were used as a source of information for the wiki to document the game. With the BWE out, and with these latest betas not in NDA anymore, the more recent interviews don't really reveal anything new so they aren't as useful. I favor abandonment and merge unless someone wants to take up the task of documenting the interviews with a description of what the interview is about. We can still add notable interviews with major new information to the news page. --Lania User Lania Elderfire pinkribbon.jpg22:24, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
