Does not seem to meet WP:NLIST. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 05:27, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

• Keep If this list isn't notable, then Lists of sports video games and everything in it are not notable either and should likely have all been bundled together. However, I believe it does pass NLIST as sports video games are a notable subject. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:31, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep WP:LISTN can be met, even if it's not currently shown in the article. Did you do WP:BEFORE? Here are a few reliable sources covering the group: [https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/best-nintendo-switch-golf-games], [https://www.pocketgamer.com/android/best-golf-games/], [https://www.pocketgamer.com/ios/best-sports-games-iphone-ipad/] (Well, sports, to zxcvbnm's point, but related), [https://www.si.com/golf/news/we-played-the-two-new-golf-video-games-and-one-is-the-clear-winner] (SI comparing different golf video games), [https://gamerant.com/best-golf-games-time-ranked/] (A situational, but here it is), [https://www.theguardian.com/games/2023/sep/29/this-golf-sim-is-the-best-video-game-ever-i-just-need-to-figure-out-why] (More group coverage), [https://golfnews.co.uk/other-news/the-best-golf-video-games-for-fans/], [https://www.golfdigest.com/story/the-definitive-ranking-of-every-tiger-woods-pga-tour-video-game], [https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/best-golf-video-games] ... and so on. -- ferret (talk) 14:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep Valid navigational list. :Category:Golf video games exist, and list are more useful than categories, more information able to be shown. We need to make the list guideline more obvious since this keeps coming up for years now. Dream Focus 17:08, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep, but damn does it ever need some serious cleanup. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 20:35, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep: The sources provided above show that the topic of this list is widely-covered by reliable sources as a group or set in both the golf world and the video game world, satisfying WP:NLIST criteria. Left guide (talk) 21:25, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep per Ferret's sources. The list is not very well sourced at the moment, but the article as a whole meets the WP:NLIST criteria. Conyo14 (talk) 22:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep Most of the article includes notable games. There could be some chances for doing a small cleanup. Dympies (talk) 02:40, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

:Keep The article is properly sourced, and it does meet WP:NLIST. I see no reason for deletion. MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 05:53, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

::This vote is a little suspect, @MKsLifeInANutshell. Pretty much ever !Keep agrees the article is not properly sourced. Did you actually look? We're headed to a keep regardless but you need to be doing a proper evaluation before !voting. -- ferret (talk) 13:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

• Keep - the whole premise of this nomination puzzles me. The claim is that it fails NLIST. NLIST would generally be satisfied when reliable sources discuss a similar grouping of subjects. Do you mean to tell me that your belief is that publications have never written any articles about the incredibly common subject of golf video games. I get the concern when editors write these bizarre lists like "Platform games featuring animals and time travel", but why would one think a common sports video games wouldn't have coverage out there?
