List of PC game music
This list is unmaintainable. Right now it just seems to be a list of a few games, which bears no connection to in-game music at all. PC game music would have to be the actual music in a list, and not just the games, and that is impossible to achieve. Aside from that, theres no great interest in maintaining the list, with only a few anons popping up now and again to add or remove a game. Its also vaguely POV. Hedley 00:31, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC) Delete its pointless and POV filled. Melvis 16:29, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. "PC games with outstanding or memorable music" is too subjective to warrant an encyclopedia list. Kaibabsquirrel 02:00, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, but I hate most list pages, so what do I know? Isaac R 03:14, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Utterly impossible list. PC game music, eh?  So that would include King's Quest I?  That would include the shareware Monopoly with its 4 tone roll that I used to play?  Besides being inherently POV and never comprehensive, it's just not a topic. Geogre 03:15, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - unencyclopedic. --FCYTravis 03:16, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete pointless list that is un-encyclopedic. JamesBurns 05:48, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete In general, I fail to see how lists are encyclopedic or useful. --Xcali 05:56, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This doesn't make sense. The list is not encyclopedic. Who wants to have an unencyclopedic list in a encyclopedia? Does not seem to be true. See What Wikipedia is not. --RonH 07:43, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Entirely POV. Nestea 15:05, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pointlessness abounds -- Joolz 16:03, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Most of the elements in the list actually link to other articles.  This list could use some work, however:  wikifying composer names, for example, could transform the list from a dauntingly unmaintainable "list of PC games" into a top-level reference for learning more about relatively prolific composers of PC game music.  (It would also create a criterion for inclusion of a game in the list.)  --Dachannien 16:24, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge with Video game music. 63.228.217.78 03:50, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think a merger would be much good. The list is still not NPOV and unreferenced. A NPOV sub-section could be good, but the content of this list isn't. Hedley 20:46, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with video game music. -Sean Curtin 07:23, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think this kind of lists are very important. Why? Because if somebody is interest in game music, it may be a hard task to find new interesting songs. If you want to find new good PC (or other format) songs, you do not find a list like this from the Internet (there are some charts for C64 and NES but not for PC or Amiga or some smaller machines). So Wikipedia can offer a list that gives good ideas for anybody interested in this kind of music. Without this list a person is quite lost since there are so many games and it is hard to know which ones might have interesting music. There is a danger of subjectivity in this list, since anybody can add his personal favorites. But with most of titles we can see, that they contain a music of relatively high quality and thus the problem cannot be so serious (the list is much better as it is now than no list at all). Sure the list is not POV, because there are common opinions about these kind of things. --User:Jarkka Saariluoma 15:32, 22 Jun 2005 (GTK+2)
