[edit] List of Neo-Geo games

Redundant with the category Neo-Geo games, and should be deleted based on the precedent set by the deletion of List of beat 'em ups. Luvcraft 21:54, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

• I hope this is where we discuss whteher or not we want to keep the article. My vote is Keep because every other game system has a list of games article for them. guitarhero777777 22:39, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. There are similar situations with the Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox in that they each have a category for their games as well as a list like Neo-Geo does. TJ Spyke 23:00, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, per other console lists. Roadsoap 01:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, lists and categories are not redundant. This list provides context by listing redlinks along with the related bluelinks, and it presents multiple names where necessary, both features that can't (and shouldn't) be implemented in a category. Melchoir 01:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Like sports games for example, yearly updates to a game like Madden don't need their own articles. TJ Spyke 02:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Note that in the AfD for List of beat 'em ups, it was said that list did not do anything that the category did not already do. In this case, the list includes non-linked games, including unnotable ones that may never get pages on Wikipedia. I wish the list included more useful information, like years of release and such, but I suppose that's up to the editors. For now it passes being a useful enough list. --SevereTireDamage 11:57, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per. above. Havok (T/C/c) 13:49, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Snowball Keep - Lists aren't redundant with catagories, as lists can include redlinks and additional information. --PresN 15:51, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
