[edit] Tetris variants

Tetris variants (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

It's an unencyclopedic list. Most of the stuff that links to it should probably be deleted also, like Aqua Rush --frothT 19:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep as long as the list is restricted to games made/sold under the Tetris brand (so games like Columns, Dr. Mario and so on should not be eligible). Could use a little tidying to remove spammy links to ten-a-penny online Tetris clones and tangential information like easter eggs and other cruftiness, but otherwise pretty useful as lists go. ~Matticus TC 20:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: As lists go, this one is neither better nor worse. It is usefull information, but probably too large to be merged into the Tetris article. However, it does need cleanup. --Frodet 20:16, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep and move to List of Tetris variants (or at least "List of [something]"). As Matticus said, if this is limited to games released officially related to Tetris, then it could become definitive and useful. At the moment, it's not either. Trebor 20:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment A cleanup is needed, in example, removing the Clones and unofficial variants completely, and leaving only the ones that can demonstrate notability (in example, awarded something or given an article in a notable media). -- ReyBrujo 20:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge to Tetris, depending on article length after cleanup. There is already a "Variations" section in Tetris detailing differences between variants, so I don't understand why there is a "Tetris variants" section as well. There do exist notable unofficial variants such as TetriNET that should be included. Pomte 23:58, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete This article resulted from everybody plugging their own version in the main Tetris article. People still plug their version on that page though. I believe the best solution would be to shave it down to the most interesting and important games (like the Game Boy version, TGM, and The New Tetris; then merge that into a concise section within the main page with an external link to a full list. Then, supplement that with only the absolute most notable fan interpretations like Bedter and Quinn, both of which had a run-in with TTC. 68.222.23.140 01:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This is a useful article with links to a number of interesting variants of Tetris. It is not excessively long. 24.210.85.2 20:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
