Talk:List of retired pricing games from The Price Is Right

Merge
I say keep the individual articles. --Jnelson09 02:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Um...that's nice. Why? -TPIRFanSteve 04:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * As opposed to merging them. It just said to discuss it here. --Jnelson09 05:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Just stating what you want without providing any reasoning does not qualify as "discussion." -TPIRFanSteve 15:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Right. OK, I know this is not considered a good argument, but keeping the individual pages would reduce clutter on the list page, for one thing. --Jnelson09 20:20, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't Merge cause Merged there would short description separate you could actually explain the Pricing Game.-- Hornet man  16  16:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I'd like to go off the board and suggest Merge the list into the articles (which basically means delete this list). The list here is basically an exact dupe of the gameplay sections of all the retired games articles as they existed before I went through and cleaned them up for clarity and brevity. So now we have a "list" page with info that is virtually identical to the game pages themselves. As such, this is not a "list" - a list would just have the titles like the list of pricing games page has. If it's so important for people (the TPIR footer box has all the games listed anyway) - goto List of The Price Is Right pricing games and add a second list at the bottom for the retired games into two lists. Otherwise, I suggest this list be pared down to just names, as a list ought to be, or a one-line description of the game without the images. Right now the list doesn't even link to the games' page themselves, let alone have a main article tag, which would be the purpose of the list in my eyes - to allow people to see the list and then get full information on the games in the list.

 * Here are two samples of the two forms (other than "deleted") that I would think would be appropriate for the list: short description, Pure list form - note that the first form is only done for a handful of games. If it's a good form, I'll go back and finish up the rest of the games. TheHYPO 20:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The whole idea behind creating individual articles was to keep the list article(s) — retired and active games alike — short. Briguy52748 01:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)]]


 * Why not make it a category inside of Category:The Price is Right pricing games? —Scott5114↗ 18:30, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Uh, there already is a category like that. Briguy52748 01:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)]]

Just a little question
Since we have merged all of the individual articles into this one, shouldn't we now redirect those articles here? --WoohookittyWoohoo! 06:22, 18 August 2007 (UTC)


 * No, as this is NOT a merging of articles. Most articles have much more information in them than is presented in this list. This list is merely a summary of that information. TheHYPO 10:18, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Results of Merge?
Since there has been no consensus of any kind since July, can we take the proposed-merge templates off the individual articles? TheHYPO 20:16, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * That's the problem. No consensus, no agreement, no removing. I mean, there seems to be predominant sentiment towards keeping them, but nothing official. --Jnelson09 03:59, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * If there is no consensus to merge, shouldn't the default be to not merge? How many months have to go by before the templates can be cut? TheHYPO 05:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Again, as there's nothing official, nothing completely legit can be done. I mean, we could remove the templates and see what happens, but like I said, it's not legit. --Jnelson09 02:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * With Jnelson09's remarks in mind, perhaps the "how long before a 'merge' template is removed" argument should go to a new discussion page. It's a good argument and one I've often pondered. Briguy52748 19:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)]]

Suggestion to keep individual articles
It makes more sense for each game to have its own article, and a summary is unnecessary, since there is a template that shows all the retired games. Mrath 05:53, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
