Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at List of game engines, you may be blocked from editing. -- ferret (talk) 18:01, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

This list requires that all engines on it be notable and have their own article on Wikipedia. Halo Engine does not. Please, stop adding it. It will not remain on this list unless an article is written that demonstrates, with proper reliable secondary sources independent of the subject, that it passes WP:GNG. -- ferret (talk) 18:02, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Except Not all the engines on it have there own article. If you're gonna remove that Halo Engine for that reason at least be consistant and remove the other engines on that list which lack independent articles. Jimbobbarry224 (talk) 18:05, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Please feel free to point them out and I will gladly do so. It's very difficult to curate large lists, and sometimes articles are deleted or redirected without someone cleaning up. The fact that some articles slip through the cracks doesn't give license to add more. -- ferret (talk) 18:09, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

So from what ive seen "CPAL3D", "HPL Engine", "Infinity Engine", "ioquake3", "id Tech 3.5", "Kinetica", "LyN", "Monkey X", "Nebula Engine", "Odyssey Engine", "REDengine", "TOSHI", "Truevision3D", "Vengeance Engine", "Vicarious Visions Alchemy", "Virtools", "World Builder" and "XnGine" do not have their own Wiki pages, but are on the list.

Sorry if i have been rude. I just assumed the Halo Engine met the criteria judging by some of the others listed.

But judging by what u said earlier in regards to it needing a wiki page, if i were to create a Wiki page for the Halo Engine with sources backing up what i wrote, it can be added back to the list? Jimbobbarry224 (talk) 18:22, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

I've started to remove some already, but it'll take time to check the whole list.

You could try creating a draft and submitting it at Draft:Halo Engine. The most critical thing is that you must locate reliable secondary sources that discuss the engine with "significant coverage." So like, if an article is about Halo 3 and just mentions once that "It runs on Halo Engine.", that's not good enough. It's a trivial passing mention. To help find reliable sources to use, see WP:VG/S. You can also use that project page to ask if sources are reliable. -- ferret (talk) 18:25, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
