List_of_video_game_collector_and_special_editions[edit]

  • Delete Seems kinda pointless and is probably more suited for a category than an article.198.138.210.102 19:18, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Can become a very good resource for many people. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.6.149.3 (talk • contribs) .
  • Keep Has potential to be quite the useful collector's resource.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.211.57.169 (talk • contribs) .
  • Keep Does have the potential to grow very large, but could be a good resource to a collector for rare or hard to find titles. 0:27 May 14 2006
  • Article is poorly formatted listcruft. ES2 13:32, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Indiscriminate. Has the potential to grow pretty much indefinitely. Just zis Guy you know? 13:39, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This is listcruft. Afonso Silva 13:51, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as indiscriminate listcruft, POV to boot (what constitutes a "collector's" or "special" edition other than a label marketing departments slap onto the box?) RGTraynor 14:37, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Listcruft material - in what way is this article useful for a researcher, either in terms of content or layout? None, so far as I can see.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  14:47, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
delete this cruftiness. Grutness...wha? 15:11, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, utter cruft. Very surprised to see that this wasn't one of Nintendude's. -- stubblyhead | T/c 16:23, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. -- ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:45, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:45, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for reasons above. Voice of Treason 20:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete listcruft, doesn't include a lot of information that anyone would really want. But, I'd propose a Category:Games that have been re-released as collector or special editions. M1ss1ontomars2k4 23:45, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Danny Lilithborne 01:08, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, is the author a sock of Nintendude? Stifle (talk) 15:40, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep, WHAT YOU ALL SAW before (5 lines, zero formatting) was just a placeholder, sorry. I think it is immensely more useful now. Deusfaux
  • Keep I think it's useful, and in response to what "RGTraynor" had to say, a special, or collectors edition of the game is one that contains extra features and is only produced once. any copy created after that would not have those special features or bonus items.
  • Keep It is a good resource for collectors and others interested in games
  • Keep i think this could be quite useful
  • Keep Useful. Also, agree with above against what "RGTraynor" said. 12:30, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
  • STRONG delete List Cruft. Unmaintainable. Almost every game put out in Japan comes with a collector's version. If this stuff is notable it can be listed on the game's main page. --Kunzite 17:36, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This will only be a NA release list. And by myself in one night I've already covered the majority out there. There is only a handful released each year for all platforms. They are NOT like S.E. dvd titles. Deusfaux 02:02, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep still How is this unmaintainable? Look what I did by myself in an evening - and there's but a handful more out there to record. Yes NA releases only - or should I title the article to reflect that? One stop reference page for collectors/vg aficiandos. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Deusfaux (talk • contribs) .
  • Delete Listcruft —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.126.27.223 (talk • contribs) .
  • Keep Very handy, and much improved. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.199.239.197 (talk • contribs) .
  • Keep There is no reason to delete this. Keep it.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sanius (talk • contribs) .
  • Delete This should be moved into a category, which would be much easier to maintain. However, until that change is made I will continue to add to this page. Lews Therin 19:50, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This could be a very useful resource for a lot of people. BlazeHedgehog 20:03, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is very useful information for a lot of people who would like to know about special versions of games. It isn't anywhere near being linkcruft. FyreWulff 22:26, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note I've completed the conversion of this page into a category. It is available at Category:Games with special editions Lews Therin 00:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note I just want to reiterate that 80% of the "delete" votes were made before 10% of the pagework was done, and since it has been, the majority of input has been to keep the page. If anything I have learned not to put up unfinished work Deusfaux 10:12, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You may find the {{inuse}} tags useful for when you are working on an article. You can also put a notice on the appropriate Talk page indicating that you are in the middle of fleshing out the article and would therefore appreciate people waiting until you finish it up before jumping in with an AfD. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 21:34, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this list; it's pointless. Quotation from above: "This is very useful information for a lot of people who would like to know about special versions of games" -- but if somebody's interested in a particular game they can look up that game. -- Hoary 01:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • So you think people should just visit hundreds of games pages at random to discover whether or not said games have L.E.'s? That seems so counter-productive/inefficient and makes the assumption all those pages even mention any such L.E. or what they might include. Deusfaux 04:56, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
