Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Games

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Games: board, card, etc. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Games|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Games: board, card, etc. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

The result was redirect to Solitaire. Never close on one !vote but it does make sense to just redirect it..... (non-admin closure) –Davey2010^Talk 00:11, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The problem with redirecting to Solitaire is that it is simply a redirect to Microsoft Solitaire. Not having an article on the generic card game seems odd, but that appears to be the situation. Also, there's a second problem here. The instant article is unsourced and, thus, there's no evidence that this game isn't something that was just made up by the article's creator. NewYorkActuary (talk) 02:09, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It seems I spoke too soon. There is an article on the generic game, under the title Patience (game). Indeed, that was where the article Solitaire originally redirected, until someone changed it to the computer game. I've changed it back (to a redirect to Patience), but I'm still recommending a 'delete', for the reason stated above. NewYorkActuary (talk) 02:22, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I would say redirect, but I can't find sources supporting that this variation even exists (granted, I didn't look that hard, due to the commonality of the name). At first I was thinking merge, and create a section in the Patience article about variations, but this article is so poorly written, I wouldn't know what to keep and what to throw out. If a source for this variation could be found, wouldn't argue with a redirect. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:22, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alfred Hitchcock Edition Clue

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I have done some research into each of these board games and I highly doubt they pass GNG. Many have been unsourced for years, for example the Alfred Hitchcock one has remained practically the same since it was created in 2006. I didn't nominate Cluedo: Discover the Secrets as it has a notable reception section, or Cluedo DVD Game because I worked on it myself and deem it notable. Coin945 (talk) 06:19, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they all appear to be as non-notable as the game above. Hopefully sources can be found to save at least some of them:

~~Clue Dungeons & Dragons (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)~~
Clue Jr.: Case of the Missing Pet (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Clue Suspects (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Delete No secondary sources provided to show these versions of Clue are notable. A list of versions could be added to the main article if not already there. Skylark777 (talk) 15:21, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Clue Dungeons & Dragons was already merged and redirected per a previous AFD, so should be removed from this one. BOZ (talk) 19:23, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I have struck the entry above for Clue Dungeons & Dragons per the merge result that was already determined at this AfD discussion. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 02:57, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Apologies. I got confused because that article was still in the "Clue" template...--Coin945 (talk) 03:45, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete if needed and perhaps Redirect to Cluedo#Variants where it is mentioned as this is questionably separately notable. SwisterTwister talk 06:18, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge then delete. Little to no information found in news sources. Spshu (talk) 20:18, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Mass Merge and redirect to Cluedo variants unless any can establish specific notability. Probably with the D&D redirect also being moved to match. Neonchameleon (talk) 12:51, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
