Seemingly fan-coined Term for a loose collection of related games; no official status and only passing mentions on gaming sites that may or may not be reliable sources (contested prod) – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:19, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - Not a fan-coined term. Clearly labeled on the front of one of the games boxes - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sonic_and_the_Black_Knight_Cover.jpg Sergecross73 msg me 23:02, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- My bad, amended. Thanks for pointing that out. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 23:57, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Even thought it's not a fan coined term, it doesn't need it's own article. It's a series that only consists of 2 games at this point, and anything/everything that needs to be said about them is/can be written on the game's respective articles.

- Weak Delete When this third game comes out it could possibly be expanded and added to, but at the moment the best it could get to is a 2-in-1 article consiting of cut-down versions of the other two with slightly different wording. Yellow1996 (talk) 16:24, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - For the record, that should probably be more of a if a third game comes out". A third title has been vaguely rumored, but never even close to being officially confirmed. Sergecross73 msg me 20:30, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Well, I was just going by what the article said. I've only played one of these (long ago) and am not really "up" on the newer Sonic games. If it's just been vaguely rumored then we can't go on that at all. Yellow1996 (talk) 16:05, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I hadn't realized the article claimed that, the last time I had read the article that part wasn't in there. Anyways, the article doesn't fully describe things, if you check the sources closely, a Sonic fansite claimed that a third game was announced at an Expo by Sega of Mexico, and some sources covered the fact that the fansite claimed this. However, no other sources were actually there to verify it. Furthermore, Sega of Mexico is by no means a major branch of the company, they merely release Sega games made by other Sega branches, and no other Sega branch has ever announced this, and now a year has elapsed...
