[edit] Sega Entertainment

Sega Studios & Video Games (article) is concerned with the entertainment side of Sega Corporation in contrast to the business side. Consisting of information cocerning their Videogames, along with information on R&D Studios and the designers behind such games.

I agree, however this article needs to be beefed up, I guess that's why its writing in progress. Although the article should be renamed to Sega Entertainment or something. --203.101.167.82 13:59, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

There's quite a bit of overlap in content between this page and Sega and there was more before Cube b3 removed the list of games from the latter. There are also already quite bulky articles on various games, which were linked to from the Sega article.

As the business of Sega Corporation is entertainment, it's not easy to draw a distinction between the business and entertainment side, and the Sega article doesn't do so. If you want to split off part of the Sega article (Sega games designers?) I suggest that it would be appropriate to discuss it on that page's discussion page. Lavateraguy 16:06, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

As it stands this page fails to refer to or place the information in the context of Sega Corporation. Lavateraguy 16:08, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I believe it in neccessary to split the pages into two distinct parts, one concerning the business and history side of Sega, the other on their software and the people/studios responsible. By compressing the infromation, it allows for cleaner, more professional looking articles, gives us more room to work without having to worry about the article(s) becoming overly long and tedious, and makes the task of improving them less complex and time consuming. It seems to have worked quite well on Nintendo's pages. (Bigbadjon101 05:01, 23 August 2007 (UTC))

Since three people are on my side, I think we have reached a conclusion: This Article Stays, however the Sega article it is going to get more bussines touches now and less entertainment. --Cube b3 22:07, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

As long as substantial diffrence is maintained between the two articles I see no reason for it to be merged back.--202.163.117.39 07:29, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reformat

The previous article was simply an indiscriminate collection of information, so let me explain what has happened. I've merged the R&D Studios section to Sega and deleted the video game developer section due to its content of original research. The franchise list has come here and still needs work.
