List of Apple Arcade games

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Generally, WP:NOTCATALOG. See for example past such list AFD Articles for deletion/List of Steam games (2nd nomination). While we do list games by hardware platform, we have avoided games by storefront since this is basically just a storefront catalog. Theknine2 (talk) 21:00, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Keep I would agree if this article were a List of App Store games, however Apple Arcade is for the most part a separate service which happens to be housed within the App Store and is not itself a storefront. This list only includes Apple Arcade original titles, which are often exclusive to the service with only a few games having a PC/console release and Apple holding mobile exclusivity for all Arcade titles. Articles for deletion/List of Steam games (2nd nomination) points out how the games on the List of Xbox Live Arcade games are only available through the service and have features which tie in with 360 hardware, which also applies here as a majority of the games outlined in this list have been designed or ported specifically with Apple Arcade in mind.

 * List of Xbox Live Arcade games currently redirects to the main List of Xbox 360 games, with XBLA titles being noted in a column in the complete list of 360 titles. Hence, your justification regarding List of Xbox Live Arcade games is not valid. I'd like to point out the recent Articles_for_deletion/List_of_EA_Play_games as well, since that was similarly a separate service which itself does not have a storefront, though in this case EA Play does not have any exclusive titles.

 * Merge With List of iOS games, simply add a sortable checkbox if they are only on Apple Arcade instead of having 2 separate articles, problem solved.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 09:30, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Ive always wondered if that list should even exist, honestly. It says there are 238 games on the list. Aren't there like thousands upon thousands of iOS games? Sergecross73   msg me  19:38, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete  - the consensus has generally been that lists by platform are appropriate, but lists by storefront or subscription program, are not. This falls squarely in the latter. Sergecross73   msg me  19:38, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2021 August 25.  —cyberbot I   Talk to my owner :Online 22:11, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails, Not notable enough to justify a Wikipedia article and there is not significant coverage.RamotHacker (talk) 21:42, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. WP:NOTCATALOG and Articles for deletion/List of Steam games (2nd nomination) precedent is right. I don't see the benefit of merging into the (as noted above) poorly maintained list of iOS games. We don't need to maintain storefront lists. czar  05:54, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment Apple Arcade is not a storefront as each game is included as part of the subscription fee and would be much more comparable to List of Netflix original programming. The list only covers games made exclusively for Apple Aracde and not the pre-exising titles included in the service. If the concencus is to delete this article, there needs to be some discussion as to whether List of Stadia games should exist as well, which acts as more of a storefront that Apple Arcade.
