This list is just redundant of information in List of Wii games. I believe the article was made due to this section: Talk:List_of_Wii_games#Article_size_concern, however many video game lists by platform have double (or more than what the Wii list has). Size isn't a good reason to just split into a new article. RobJ1981 (talk) 18:58, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

• Merge Take it back to List of Wii games. RC-0722 ^247.5/1 19:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge I concur. --Liempt (talk) 20:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
• Merge. It doesn't seem to me that this makes the article too big. The other "List of playstation x games" are all much larger than List of Wii games, even if this were to be included. Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 21:23, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

• Comment: Bah RobJ, all this nonsense from you! Where's your replies that I wrote on your talk page? Okay, as for the article, the reason why I wanted them in regions is that not all 433 something games are going to come out (it would be at least half), and that would cut down on size dramaticly. IF this article (List of Wii games (North America) gets deleted, you must STOP Zomic13 and the others from making the List of WiiWare games into regional articles (just like your trying to stop me here). See Talk:List of WiiWare games on the last section, and reply to the discussion of improvements page there, and/or on my user talk page. RobJ this was for you, you knew it was coming!! :( Versus22 (talk) 23:06, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

:Comment. It's not nonsense. I had every right to nominate the article. Have some patience. I'm not on Wikipedia every time I get a talk page message! RobJ1981 (talk) 05:30, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Comment: If he doesn't, I'll nominate them for deletion under the same rationale. Also, this paragraph is essentially OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and ALLORNOTHING which doesn't usually fly at AfDs for the reasons discussed on those sections. Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 02:13, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

• Continued: ...And one more thing about the List of Wii games I am sick of seeing blank boxes under the region's release date. (saying "Unreleased"). This is why I also created this North American article, to add games that are for sure coming here. The other systems may have more games than the Wii, but the Wii will catch up to them. Anything else? I hope you'll finally agree with me! Versus22 (talk) 23:22, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Comment: The "There will be more in the future" argument is ad nauseam. The fact that there will be more doesn't mean we should split it now. If it becomes unmanagable in the future due to size, that is the time to split it; but that is clearly not the case yet. Regarding the released versus unreleased bit, I don't really see why that's a problem. If it's sure that they're coming out, then it isn't a violation of CRYSTAL or anything. Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 02:09, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Comment: Versus22 began making this list as for a while the List of Wii games was not sorting properly due to the vast number of entries contained in it. The problem has now gone, and the table is now sorting properly, so the the North America list isn't needed at this time, but I do not doubt that we will have to very soon split the list by region if we would like to retain the sort function, as this was not the first time the sorting has broken, and it will certainly not be the last. -Digiwrld1 (talk) 03:17, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Comment: Is this a technical problem exclusive to this list and not any of the other platform lists? If so, do you know why it doesn't affect the others? Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 03:29, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

• Comment: That's very strange the other articles sorts anyways. How & when did it first happen? The way this is going though, I don't think we'll be able to do it for the List of WiiWare games either now because we'll get the exact same results (at least for now).

• Merge to List of Wii games. You can easily reproduce the content of this page by sorting on the North America release date there. (Not to mention that this page only has the letter A and is messed up (uncategorized tag inside the table?)). — brighterorange (talk) 22:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
• Comment: All right, thanks BrighterOrange. I know I'm going to break a rule here on Wikipedia, but lets just end the AfD here. I don't want to wait for 4 more days. Please just go ahead and delete the article (DON'T MERGE IT BECAUSE I COPIED AND PASTE THE INFO FROM List of Wii games ONTO HERE). As for my last comment, I actually don't want this list on my user page after all. Have a good week and I'm sorry for this. Versus22 (talk) 23:09, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

::No need to be sorry, you are acting to make the encyclopedia better and we all appreciate that! I'll perform the redirect since it seems everyone is in agreement. — brighterorange (talk) 01:09, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
