List of Japan-exclusive video games

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This list does not provide any further information than the corresponding category (Category:Japan-exclusive video games). The argument for an article's ability to include redlinks is null since redlinked articles would most likely not be notable enough for inclusion in the first place.

 * Keep, it does actually contain more information for some entries, and as Rankiri says, it can be improved further. Polarpanda (talk) 10:24, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Rankiri.  Mr. C.C. Hey yo!I didn't do it! 12:34, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The sole criterion makes the potential population far too large and guarantees that the list serves no real purpose whatsoever, hence why it's so incomplete and scarcely browsed. If it is so achingly necessary to provide a trivia dip on this subject the category works fine and at least doesn't demand editing time which it isn't going to receive.

 * I have had to sit and mull this over for awhile (I like video game related lists, they just need to have a purpose). One thing that did crop up is List of Sega Mega Drive games which could be used to fulfill the same criteria (except within a realistically small population) - there's a "regions released" column and the table is sortable. These games-by-system lists are a hell of a lot better target for maintainence since they kill a lot of birds with one stone. The problem is, there's no guarantee consensus would agree in a column of that nature being rolled-out, and currently all of the lists have different set-ups/columns. Anyhow, just wanted to point out a possible alternative and example of time being better spent. Someoneanother 03:35, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
