List of Mario games by year
Okay, taking this straight to AFD, as I know this is going to be controversial. Listcruft. There's already a seperate List of Mario games by system; is there a reason to reorder and duplicate the list? Note that a similar article, List of Dance Dance Revolution games by date is also up for AFD. I am also nominating the following related pages because of the same criteria as the above nominated article: --み使い Mitsukai 19:44, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * List of Mario games by genre
 * Keep. Since lists are not sortable, having several (relevant) permutations of the data is in no way bad.  "By date" seems a very logical means of structuring, particularly with the branching of games past Mario 1, Mario 2, etc. &mdash; Lomn Talk 19:54, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. This looks like a reasonably good, sorted and annotated list, while categories only sort alphabetically and provide little or no annotation. Sjakkalle (Check!)  10:07, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
