[edit] Anime game

Anime game (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

For the same reasons given at Ren'ai games AFD. The term "anime game" is a neologism not used by any reliable sources. The only definition "anime game" can consistantly apply to is "a video game based off an anime". We don't have articles for "Movie games" or "TV show games", there's really no reason we need one for "Anime games". The term is also not used in Japanese at all. There has been much debate over what is the overbranching genre for dating sims and visual novels, and due to there being no consensus, this is a move to do away with even trying to connect them. There are too many exceptions to be able to group them together. Suggest a redirect to List of computer and video games based on anime and manga. SeizureDog 02:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Don't let the size fool you; "Anime game" does not exist as a special term in general gaming circles. You'd might as well make cartoon game or book game articles in the same vein. Violates WP:V and WP:NOR. ' ^{(Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!)} 02:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, failed attempt to link together "genres that aren't popular outside of Japan," for example dating sims, raising sims, horse racing, and management games. [1] Ashibaka (tock) 03:04, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect though some of the content can be moved to the appropriate articles. I'd like to add that those "genres not popular outside Japan" are quite popular in Taiwan and Hong Kong, at least. _dk 03:41, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
