Talk:individual level
The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
Created by a new user with only 3 edits (User:Cresentrend). I, and apparently he as well, are both members of speedrunning communities. This is a very SOP term. First of all, the term is most often used attributively, and thus SHOULD be individual-level (as in "individual-level speedrun"). This point has nothing to do with its deletion, but if this entry were to exist, this is the form that should have been presented. Second of all, you could replace the word "individual" with synonyms (like "single", see Google search results for "single level" speedrun). Third, the term is just referring to a speedrun of an individual level. This is not anything alternative in the speedrunning community, as a speedrun can also be defined as a run-through of a single level without explanation (I could say "I speedran level 1-2 of Super Mario Bros.", and wouldn't necessary have to say "I did a single-level/individual-level speedrun of level 1-2 of Super Mario Bros.."). Fourth, "individual level" really could refer to anything; an individual-level video (of a walkthrough of a game), an "individual-level glitch" possibly could be used to refer to a glitch than can only occur in a single level, etc. Fifth, I could make an SOP like this for a lot of things. We don't have individual-chapter, for "individual-chapter reading session"; individual-world, which may refer to a run that does only one "world" in the game; individual-boss, only completes one boss battle, individual-item, possibly a play-through where only one item is collected; individual-game, "individual-game cartridge", rather than a cartridge that contains multiple games (yes, these do exist), it's a cartridge that only contains one game.
I could go on, but you guys get the point. This is very SOP. Very SOP. PseudoSkull (talk) 02:18, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. A good number of definitions are of this type. I venture that any definition of an SoP MWE can be framed (reworded) to make it appear non-SoP, especially by restricting its definition to a context with which the reader is unfamiliar. DCDuring (talk) 09:28, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. An English entry with a video game sense "A type of speedrun where a single level of a video game is completed ..." and example sentence "Did you see the new IL (individual level) time someone got for ...?" The example does not require that the genus of "individual level" is "speedrun"; the example is consistent with the term "individual level" referring to a particular level of the game, and thus sum of parts. --Dan Polansky (talk) 06:59, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
