"Too little information" The claim has validity to it but there have been other pages containing little information as well. Example https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Camera "Does not follow guidelines" The claim is vague and does not specify which guidelines were broken. "Pictures are from community recreations and don't even look like TF2" The claim is incorrect and opinionated. The images were taken from a former Valve employee who had uploaded them publicly (see citation 2). The claim stating that it "does not look like TF2" is not fact. The images happen to be taken from a time of development where changes were happening to both the art style and gameplay.

Copy how other map pages look and then it'll get taken away. It doesn't look like TF2 at all (Graphics look way different and the HUD looks like half-life, so not really an opinion). When I put it on the page it looked like garbage and it had like 3 sentences.

I don't understand how looking like other maps pages is a violation of the guidelines. If you could give me a link and quote that would be nice. Unless i misunderstood you and you meant to refer to something else. The build showcased in the screenshots is from 2006. That's why it looks different. I don't care how different it looks, the game was being worked on in that time frame. I'll add a forth citation that also states/suggests that it was from an early period of tf2. In case the one valve employee wasn't enough, i've got word from another one. Also graphics looking different does not necessarily imply that it does not look like tf2. I'm not saying it does or doesn't.

Also do please refer to the citations that are included before saying i've uploaded "community content" or that "it does not look like tf2" even though it is from a build of the game. If the citations are too hard to use or inconvenient/could be formatted better, (specify) then point that out instead please.

It DOESN'T look like other map pages, that's the problem. Take a look at some custom map pages and see what they're doing (Because there's usually little-to-no information for those, so they're always quite short). The game looks way different from anything that it would've reasonably looked like in TF2, because they only had 1 year left and having such a huge graphical change isn't standard in a game's development. It's very logical to assume it's a fanmade version if you say it has fan-made recreations in the article itself. Graphics looking different is definitely implying that it isn't TF2
