List of PlayStation Portable Gamesharing games

trivial list, mostly research Vespid 06:11, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and transfer to category, which is more appropriate for such information. Giggy  UCP 07:56, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, first off all, lists and categories have different purposes and the existence of one is never a good argument for deleting the other (see also Categories, lists, and series boxes). WP:OR is mainly referring to articles on specific topics. Lists are a way of navigating through these articles, just like categories. As we are trying to write an encyclopedia for everybody here (not just for ourselves), lists like these serve a purpose, because they are considered easier to navigate than categories by many people. An please realize that changing a list like this into a category does not solve OR issues, if there are any. In fact, lists allow for referencing of the included articles, whereas categories do not.

 * Weak Delete Also think a category would replace this better.  I think it would be endless to make lists for video games based on common features.  (Like list of games that support multiplayer or has force feedback) Corpx 19:25, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The primary contributor to this page has removed the AfD boxes from the article. I'd suggest further UNBIASED opinion is needed.Vespid 19:33, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Change to category or delete I reverted to restore the tag. Removing the tag simply because you are the "primary contributor" is the same as claiming ownership, and in my opinion, is very close to vandalism.  Pharmboy 23:45, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete; convert to category as above. • 97198  talk  06:33, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or change to category My apologies for removing the AfD boxes, I didn't know there was a protocol to follow in this situation.  I mistook the action as a form of vandalism.  It won't happen again.  To understand why this list is important, you must understand the difference between Gamesharing games and regular WIFI.  Unlike most two player games for portable game consoles, Gamesharing games only require one copy of the game for both players to play.  Gamesharing allows PSP owners to copy a portion or sometimes the entirety of a game to a friend's PSP.  It's not a "trivial" feature but possibly the most important feature a PSP game can have.  Neither is this listing "trivial" as this information is not contained anywhere else on Wikipedia.  Whether this remains a list or becomes a category, it's important that the information be retained.  Transce080 10:31, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or change to category This information is useful and should be kept. As Transce080 said, it's very different to normal WiFi games and the difference makes this list useful. Converting to a category is probably the best option, though. Iwantanimac 12:24, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep/change I have to admit, I've come around a little on this one. After more checking around it does seem useful and still seems more appropriate for a fan site, but no one else has apparently gone through the trouble to create such a site (although I still wonder why). It does look like quite a bit of work has been put into keeping it accurate. Vespid 23:28, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or possibly move over to a category, but I do not see a problem with this. Burntsauce 17:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - This article should be kept as it is a valuable addition to the already existing Playstation Portable (PSP) wiki article. The PSP article lists technical specifications and capabilities of the gaming system. Having this list proves to be a valuable resource to anyone looking for more information about the specific feature this article for deletion is providing. Additionaly one of the other features in the PSP article is the console's WiFi capability, which has a link to a List of PSP games that are WiFi compatible. That article is not up for deletion, and neither should be. I don't support changing this article to a category or moving it to another category because it will then be included with games that are not on the PSP system. Someone looking for just PSP information, like how it's presented in the PSP article, would then have to view a multitude of games that don't apply. TrackSol 00:42, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
