List of PlayStation 2 CD-ROM games
Listcruft, list will never be complete Kungfu Adam  ( talk ) 22:02, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is another case where a category would work best, if at all. If there's any significance to the fact that these games had a slightly different format than other PS2 games, it's not established in the "article." If we can establish that there is, then categorize it and note the difference on the Playstation 2 article, if it isn't already. If we can't, then just delete. -- H·G (words/works) 22:49, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. There's some precedent to keep it here, but in this case I agree with HumbleGod that a cat would be better. RandyWang (raves/rants) 23:30, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, whether or not a game is multiplayer is reasonably significant; the media of the game is not. --Cornflake pirate 05:45, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. A category would not work best because there will be several non-notable games on this list that will never be covered by Wikipedia. The information on media could potentially be useful, say, to someone studying specific physical media adoption rates over time, or a comparison of file usage for indie and major developers. It sounds esoteric, but I believe this could be useful information. --SevereTireDamage 06:08, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per above. I couldb't think of a good way to merge this into List of Playstation 2 games, so I'm going with keep.  I think the information is minimally useful, but I'll let that slide. Ace of Sevens 09:25, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per SevereTireDamage. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 10:42, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Anyone ABOVE who supports deletion please re-check the list and read the new introduction/description written at the top of the list. As it now stands, there is no way to merge this information into categories without losing a vast amount of information. We would need to create a massive number of game stubs and also somehow rectify the problem of games being released in 3 regions (4 counting the rare China PS2 games I can find nothing about) in occassionally different media. It would be nice if someday this could be made into a category, but with the sorry state of completeness, uniformity, and duplication among PS2 games and games in general, I think this list is extremely useful. Also, a very small number of game page infoboxes DO include BOTH game region & game media information.  At least until most games are given this same depth of info, I think this list should survive.  Finally, note this companion list List_of_PlayStation_2_DVD-9_games which survived a contentious deletion request back in late April 2006. --Rory77 00:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable games deserve mention in Wikipedia...why, exactly? -- nae'blis (talk) 19:44, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Useful list, quite exhaustive, and as others said, many games are barely worth giving articles so a list will be more useful than a category. But it could be integrated into List of PlayStation 2 games specifying what media they are on, maybe with use of a table for easier readability. --Zilog Jones 10:18, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep If I had seen the article without the preface - I would have questioned its usefullness/notability as well - but understanding the function it could serve as well as seeing the outlining for keeping the list discriminate (I think a big factor here) I am swayed to vote for keeping the article. The suggestion the list would go on forever is laughable - already PS2 media as a whole should be on the decline soon - and as CD based is but a small percentage of that in the first place I see no reason why this list couldnt be completely comprehensive with a little time and contributions from people.
