Proposed merge with Electronic game
This is weak as a standalone article, and is within the scope of, and therefore should be merged into, video games. JadeGuardian (talk) 21:00, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Are you proposing to merge "video game" into "electronic game" or the other way around? Either way I think it's a mistake.

This discussion should also probably be moved here. -Thibbs (talk) 23:08, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * If you're proposing merging "video game" into its parent concept, "electronic game," I would argue that "video game" (currently at 70k+) is simply too large of a topic on its own to warrant a merge. In fact according to WP:SIZESPLIT it should actually probably be divided itself.
 * If you're proposing merging "electronic game" into its offspring concept, "video game", then what you're really proposing is reducing the scope of "electronic game" until it can be shoehorned into the already too large "video game" article. Considering that most of the video-game-specific information in the "electronic game" article is already present in the "video game" article, I can't see what the merge would accomplish apart from simply deleting the information on non-video electronic games.


 * Oppose - OK, I just noticed that you'd requested a "merge to" from electronic game, so I guess you're suggesting merging "electronic game" into "video game". I oppose the proposal based on what I said above: the term "electronic game" is much broader than "video game", encompassing pre-video software programs, pinball and gambling machines, and audio games among other large categories. Whatever shortcomings the article may have can be fixed by expanding it, not by deleting it. There is great potential for expansion in the form of a history section, for example. Whereas the history of video games takes up dozens of articles, there is currently no article on the history of electronic games (the progenitors of the video game). The sources are out there, the article just needs to be expanded. I'm sure that with some devoted attention this article could easily rival the size of the video game one. -Thibbs (talk) 23:18, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
