Should this be somehow merged with the government simulation game article?

[edit] List of games

This list of games really belongs in the Open Directory Project instead of here. The notability of these games hasn't been established. SharkD (talk) 02:17, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

The list of games certainly needs to go, ones with articles should be in cats, the sea of external links is linkspam to many games which probably won't pass notability.Someone another (talk) 02:54, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
I did have a look at sources for political games, there are a few cases of games specifically called that, but certainly nothing like the amount which would be needed to create a full article outside of government simulation games. Most of the sources actually labelled political games as video games which had the purpose or expectation of political influence over players. If this intention has not been covered elsewhere in WP, there may be a viable article on that subject, but this isn't it. Here's some source examples Washington Post, The Guardian online and GameSpot. Someone another (talk) 03:53, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
