List of video games considered the worst ever

While interesting to read, the topic is inherently biased, and clearly does not belong on the WikiPedia. DarrenBaker 06:52, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete - for reason above. --DarrenBaker 06:52, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article simply cannot be made NPOV, unless it is split into two articles - one referring to video games that have received harsh criticism from verifiable sources, say 'List of controversial video games', and another referring to video games that were a commercial failure. You cannot combine the two concepts, it becomes completely subjective. --DarrenBaker

Keep. These are games for which there is broad consensus that they were just terrible; I don't think there's much debate about any of them. It's verifiable in the sense that there are plenty of magazine and web articles discussing how just how terrible they are. I am not a fan of pointless listcruft, and I see your point about NPOV, but this is very interesting reading and a good addition to WP. bikeable (talk) 07:01, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Comment: this page has been up for deletion at least twice before; last time the vote was 14-5. Just fyi; I'm not saying that that should drive this discussion.) bikeable (talk) 07:15, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- per Darren Baker. Reyk 07:05, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but make the article more like how List of films that have been considered the worst ever is done, with gaming review sites giving them low scores. TonicBH 07:14, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not NPOV. -- (aeropagitica) 07:31, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep --Terence Ong ^Talk 07:35, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. This is the third nomination on this article in only a matter of months, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Video Games considered the worst ever which ended with "no consensus" and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of video games considered the worst ever (2005-11-10) which ended with a clear "keep" consensus. The concern over NPOV was brought up the last two times as well and the counterargument is that the entries here are referenced and that we have similar articles for movies. Nothing new has emerged since then, this is simply rehashing the same argument again, and deletion by attrition should not be encouraged. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:48, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
