Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Games

WP:DSGAMES

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.

WP:REDUNDANTFORK of List of World Chess Championships from the version around a year ago, would like to request redirect, as WP:BLAR was unsuccessful DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 20:43, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Games and History. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 20:43, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Not a fork. The article was significantly supplemented, updated and improved. Teterev53 (talk) 20:49, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What is the distinction between the two? If this is just a supplemented, updated, and improved version of List of World Chess Championships, then it is a supplemented, updated, and improved fork. Is there a reason you didn't suggest the improvements to the original article? Remsense ‥ 论 21:09, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because History and List of (tournaments) are the different topics! It's very strange to write about history in an article where there is only a list. Teterev53 (talk) 21:18, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Articles, including stand-alone lists, are meant to be self-standing to a degree, with adequate context provided to a previously reader such that they can understand the list itself. There is no remit for this article as described that is not adequately covered by either the existing section of World Chess Championship or by List of World Chess Championships. Encyclopedic coverage of tournaments comprises mostly history to begin with: there is no History of the Super Bowl, History of the World Series, History of The Open Championship, History of the Olympics for this reason. There is History of the FIFA World Cup, to be transparent with a counterexample, but the outsized scope in that case is much more clear. Remsense ‥ 论 21:33, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect again per nom; redundant fork of an existing list, with an AI-generated "Overview" section lumped in to give a semblance of legitimacy. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:49, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A needless fork of List of world chess championships which is completely redundant to that page and World Chess Championship. Quale (talk) 21:06, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you propose to delete History of the FIFA World Cup only due to existence of the List of FIFA World Cup finals? Fantastic misunderstanding. Teterev53 (talk) 21:12, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  If you could write this article to look anything like that one, it would be a different story. In reality, the glaring disparity between History of the FIFA World Cup and this article proves the point why one should exist and the other should not. Remsense ‥ 论 21:38, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Issues with the article's text are not reasons for its deletion. Work on the article is ongoing and progressing as a long-term effort. Teterev53 (talk) 21:46, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Lists can, and usually do, have prose. Unless the history of something is very substantial and separable, they are usually found in the same article. (Just to avoid any confusions about lists among anyone) (just trying to help with the AfD, but not gonna reply directly, to avoid any repetition of the talk page or the ANI thread.)
