This page would better be described as "List of warez file formats", but clearly fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE as well as WP:GNG. It doesn't give context for why knowing which formats are used in warez is important, and has massive amounts of original research. This can be summed up easily in the main article as "certain media formats are selected for the distribution of warez". Previous AfDs don't seem to have been policy-based. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:46, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
