I'm struggling to understand what this index is even supposed to accomplish. It's not listed at Contents/Indices or linked in the nav template at the bottom. Is it... just... every possible thing about games? It doesn't seem to distinguish between game concepts, individual articles about board and video games, types of games, people/companies who make games, people who play games, etc. It's just a (hopelessly incomplete) alphabetized list of everything that might have to do with games if you squint at it a little (and if it were complete, it would be hundreds of pages long). Outline of games seems to be this article but in a more organized and restricted fashion. Why does this exist? Axem Titanium (talk) 23:41, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Yep this seems like a pointless article. Really sloppy and lacking a defined purpose. Bluedude588 (talk) 23:49, 23 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete per above and too self-referential. Possibly move to a wikiproject page if a wikiproject wants it. The keep arguments in the previous AFD (e.g. "an index of all gaming articles is an appropriate goal to accommodate navigation through the ocean of gaming subjects covered on Wikipedia") are very unconvincing. See also discussions such as Articles for deletion/Index of India-related articles. DexDor(talk) 12:58, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
