Categories for deletion discussion

  • This category was listed on deletion on January 10, 2005. Consensus was to keep.

I think Category:Computer and video game franchises and Category:Computer and video games by company need to be merged. --ssd 07:09, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • These are not the same things. Several game franchises are spread ACROSS several companies. Civilization, MechWarrior, etc. 132.205.94.5 21:17, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep for the reasons stated above. --LostLeviathan 04:10, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I agree that the two are not the same thing. However, there are franchises in the second, and games in the first. I think they both need to be kept, but sorted out first. --ssd 04:22, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Delete: There doesn't seem to be any particular criteria for inclusion other than "it's got one or more sequels", and most games that are notable enough for WP articles have had sequels or remakes. -Sean Curtin 21:08, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)

Video game franchises by genre

I think it could be created a new category Category:Video game franchises by genre under Category:Video game franchises, where we could have for example Category:Platform video game franchises, Category:Racing video game franchises... If we do this we can have in each category under Category:Video games by genre the category that contains the franchises that corresponds to this genre. For example, inside the category Category:Racing video games we could put the category Category:Racing video game franchises and delete the rest of categories about franchises from the category Category:Racing video game franchises, like Burnout games, Driver series, Grand Turismo series, Mario Kart games, Need for Speed games, Project Gotham Racing series... Please talk to me if you think it is a good idea or if you don't understand what I mean --Aliuken (talk) 22:33, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
