Talk:Tetris & Dr. Mario

AfD
This article was taken to AfD and kept with the advice "The result was keep. Please defer merge related discussion to article talk" The deletion debate was as Articles for deletion/Tetris & Dr. Mario. As none of this has happened and when anyone takes the link to what seems like a relevant pages apart from the year and who made it, they get linked back to this page. This is not enough of a merge to jump to a dab.--Alf melmac 08:45, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I merged the only thing worth merging - the fact that it has a computer in the multi-player mode. Anything else that absolutely needs merging in this not-really notable compilation of games? - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:31, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Another editor reversed that edit. I must admit this is the sparsest merge I've ever seen. However the closing admin's decision on the AfD was "Please defer merge related discussion to article talk.". Your versions are the same page as here and here, where your edit summary asks how the hell do you merge it. I would suggest letting the editors of the page discuss the merge per the admin's closing decision and leaving it for someone else, remembering that 'there is no deadline' and 'if it needs fixing, someone else is likely to do it sooner or later'.--Alf melmac 22:44, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone will cause existence to change so that this article will have something other than two features different from their predecessors? I see. This article has nothing that needs to be mentioned in the other articles. All there is is one mode of play and "computer players". That's all. - A Link to the Past (talk) 02:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Screenshot
A picture of the title screen or of gameplay in each bundled game would be cool. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.202.38.225 (talk) 22:22, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Not a disambiguation page
This is the actual title of a video game for the Super Nintendo(SNES). I believe the momentary change to make this a disambiguation page was vandalism. I highly doubt this was Good Faith; I could be wrong. But either way, this page should refer to the actual video game called "Tetris & Dr. Mario". 98.202.38.225 (talk) 05:06, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Its only unique feature is the multi-player mode, which is not significant or notable enough to make this article worthy of existing - it needs development information, reception, more unique gameplay (ie, there has to be things that can be said about the gameplay that isn't redundant to the main article), etc. - A Link to the Past (talk) 15:24, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

This isn't a disambig page. Take a look at WP:DAB. Rather, this is a compilation game, much like Sonic Mega Collection or something. –Schmloof 01:23, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with Schmloof. Why should it be a disambiguation page when it's an actual game? Maybe it isn't a game article that would have as much material as Super Mario 64, but screenshots, etc. could be added, as well as commentary on the remixes/updating of the music/sound effects. Even a small Infobox. It looks to me like Link tried to take over this page and halted any edits or contributions a few years ago. Not cool. I see two contributors (a while ago, but nonetheless) who think this isn't a disambiguation page, but then I observe that in appearance it looks exactly like a disambig page. Good crap, at the bottom of the article, it says "This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the same title," then says below that: "Categories: Disambiguation pages". What the heck is going on?? I think we're all intimidated out of editing or adding to whatever the heck this article is supposed to be just because A Link to the Past said so. Not cool at all.

Reverted back to Disambiguation
While I am not in disagreement that this is not an ideal solution, a discussion is currently underway at WT:VG as to what should be done with compilations not notable enough for their own articles. Salvidrim!  19:16, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Links to those discussions: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games/Archive_31 and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games/Archive_93. My 2¢: this would be fine merge to "versions" at Tetris, with a mention at Dr. Mario. czar   &middot;   &middot;  20:25, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * As of today, I'd rather say redirect to Dr. Mario's sub-section; it already mentions the product and wikilinks to Tetris, and this product seems much more relevant to me in regards to Dr. Mario than to Tetris. :) · Salvidrim!  ·  &#9993;  21:08, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

You did revert this page to the state with a -tag multiple times. But as discussed above: this page cannot be a disambiguation page, as there is - obviously - no ambiguity between the two listed entries here! (see also: Broad concept articles). I would also put my 2 cents on Czar's proposal: create a section in one of the articles and redirect there, also mention it in the other. LittleWink (talk) 20:19, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Screenshot 2
Is it possible to get a screenshot that depicts both games? - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 16:53, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I could try to snap a screenshot from the Mixed Match mode which shows both games side by side. Namcokid47 (talk) 17:23, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
