The result was merge to Yaoi. There was also the idea floated of creating Category:Yaoi games. I see no consensus on that, but if somebody also wants to create that, there's nothing here to stand in their way. -- RoySmith (talk) 03:14, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unneeded list of mostly red-linked articles that is not and cannot be in any way comprehensive of the genre, along with the only relevant information at the top being better suited on each article's page. Basically Listcruft. Tarage (talk) 19:00, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are too many red-links, but that's a cleanup matter. There are enough blue links to justify a list on the topic, and there doesn't appear to be any other page on the genre that this could be merged with. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:09, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly disagree. There are so few blue items that making a list of them is meaningless. Beyond that none of the information in the article is worth keeping. At best it should be moved to the respective games. --Tarage (talk) 10:30, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Listcruft that is better served by a category, similar to Category:Yuri (genre) video games._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 10:59, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is another good point. I didn't want to say it in the opening statement because of the 'other stuff' argument but there is no Yuri list, nor for any other niche fetish. I agree whole heatedly that a category would serve much better, and that any relevant information from this article be transferred either to it's respecting game article or to the yaoi article itself. --Tarage (talk) 20:06, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I support creating Category:Yaoi games and keeping Category:Yuri (genre) video games, just like we have Category:Yaoi anime and manga and Category:Yuri (genre) anime and manga. At the moment, List of yaoi games has only 12 blue links, and it's basically just a list of titles. There are no comments about the games, characters, production, reception, etc. aside from a few lines at the introduction, so I think that at the moment we can delete the list because we would be better served by a category. On the other hand, I'd probably support keeping the yaoi list if it had more blue links and more information. Also, whenever possible, the games mentioned there probably should be added to List of video games with LGBT characters. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 23:05, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to either Boys' love video games or Yaoi video games as this has the potential to be an article. I generally prefer the former as I believe that "yaoi" hasn't reached common enough use for people to know what it is. It would also allow the article to cover the broader topic of games featuring male homosexual relationships instead of games that include explicit homosexual content. —Farix (t | c) 18:32, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why not fold it into the Yaoi article then? There sure as heck isn't enough in the pitiful amount of information that's currently there. --Tarage (talk) 01:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Because yaoi is explicit sexual content. While all the games listed feature male homosexual relationship, they don't all include explicit sexual content. —Farix (t | c) 13:41, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think "yaoi" or "yuri" implies explicit content, in any context. The article states "romantic OR sexual". All it means is that there is a gay relationship as the main focus._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 18:23, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Yaoi neither page is prohibitively large, agree that there isn't enough here for a standalone list. --J04n(talk page) 16:18, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Clarification of position I am fine with merging. I just don't think a list of Yaoi games should exist in it's current form. Moving them into the LGBT games list and what little there is into the Yaoi article is perfectly fine with me. --Tarage (talk) 01:35, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody? All right, merge to Yaoi. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 00:59, 13 January 2018 (UTC) and any other appropriate article. Insufficient apparent standalone notability, but would fit into other articles. Sandstein 22:45, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Merge into Yaoi. Yaoi is not a very prominent genre of video games, either in terms of media coverage or the number of representative games released. The topic should at least be mentioned in the Yaoi article, but there just isn't enough to support a standalone list article.--Martin IIIa (talk) 02:02, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
