List of GameCube games on two discs
How is this list encyclopedic? What use to anyone is a list of Gamecube games which are published on two disks? Maybe they're rare for the GameCube, but what about List of PC games on four discs? This is of no use. - Hahnch e  n 19:28, 20 July 2006
 * Delete per nom as completely useless and unencyclopedic Nintendudecruft (though, to be fair, the article was actually started by a user with zero other edits). -- Kicking222 19:41, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: GameCube has been criticized for using relatively low-capacity media. This article is to give an overview of how often it's an issue. Ace of Sevens 22:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Not sure which way to go on this one... seems kinda fun-factish I guess. Although technically it isn't unencyclopedic, it probably isn't too useful I guess, except for people like me who enjoy reading useless things like this.  Oh, and what is "Nintendudecruft?" -- gakon5 22:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It is a reference to User:Nintendude, who, while a frequent contributor to WP and a seemingly nice person, often (and I mean often) created quite pointless video game-related lists that were almost always deleted via AfD. -- Kicking222 23:53, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Facsinating. Keep per SevereTireDamage. -- gakon5 14:31, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as this seems not-notable, not-useful, and not encyclopedic as the nominator says. Allisonmontgomery69 22:31, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. The information is useful to those researching the history of the GameCube or journalists writing about the physical media's criticism, as Ace of Sevens mentioned. It was often cited as a negative factor in multiplatform ports, due to the minidisc's limited size, many games had content cut out altogether rather than going to two discs, while some of these still had omissions. The subject is notable in the history of physical game media - remember when FF VII was praised for having so much content it needed 3 discs?. With this platform the opinion generally changed. Multi-disc gaming on the PC was notable at one point, but after a few years virtually every game used multiple discs so it wasn't really notable anymore (the same thing is happening to DVD-ROM). But in the history of the GameCube it is still notable given the system's eventual death, and the specialized nature of the titles, usually third-party PS2/Xbox games that were ported to the Cube or particularly expansive games designed for the Cube, like Killer7 or Tales of Symphonia. --SevereTireDamage 22:56, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just not encyclopedic. -- GWO
 * Comment- Why not just create a category for this? -- Solberg 23:12, 21 July 2006 (UTC)Solberg
 * Comment That assumes that every 2-disc GC game will itself be notable enough to cover in Wikipedia. So far, every game but one has its own page, so I suppose it may be true when the list is complete. However, it is similar to my rationale for keeping List of PlayStation 2 CD-ROM games, if turns out there are a significant number of non-notable titles, a Category wouldn't suffice.. If it turns out every 2-disc game does have an entry, then I'd easily support deletion of this, but it's a little too early to tell. --SevereTireDamage 04:45, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply Good points, you've convinced me. -- Solberg 08:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC)Solberg


 * Keep per SevereTireDamage. -- Solberg 08:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC)Solberg
 * Delete. While I find it somewhat interesting, it's encyclopedic value is pretty low. --Optichan 23:47, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: Multiple discs for PC games tend to be the rule, rather than the exception as it is for console game. Also per SevereTireDamage. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 16:39, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, unencyclopedic. Perhaps just put "Discs: 2" into the infobox of each game. +Fin 13:21, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - interesting but unencyclopedic. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 16:40, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete niffy list but it doesn't belong in a encyclopedia. Whispering 16:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep But clean up, no need for seperation by letter...IMO, though this is a usful article.Owwmykneecap 23:21, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
