List of Portable Computer Games
Article is a list of non-notable games, full of spam links to game sites, these games are not portable. digital_m e (TalkˑContribs) 17:51, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. This seems like an un-maintainable list. RedRollerskate 17:53, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Not just is it completely unmaintainable, but the entire list is an advertisement! -- Kicking222 18:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Kicking222.-- Andeh 18:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * point to note You might have found this though the List of Portable Application Software article, there's a "main article" link from there to here. Walkswithgrizzles has simply expanded the games section of portable applications, and put it in this new article.  If this article is deleted, then the removed work from the portable applications article will be lost too - even though it was a of a bit better quality.   martianlostinspace 21:44, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It won't be lost, it's still in the page history for the main article, and I found this page while on new pages patrol.--digital_m e (TalkˑContribs) 23:11, 13 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete the list that contains lots of external links. --Starionwolf 04:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unmaintainable, reads like an advert. Would be better off categorized for those portable games which have articles. BryanG(talk) 06:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Question from the Editor. Everyone keeps saying this in unmaintainable and an advertisement, but what I don't understand is why exactly. How is it so different then the main page, which it is a sub-category of: List of Portable Applications and has thus far recieved no such comments.  Additionally, assuming these comments to be correct, what could be changed about the article so that it might be kept? --WalksWithGrizzlies 13:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Hardly a useful list. Written as an advertisement and riddled with spam.--Auger Martel 11:10, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge back into List of Portable Application Software and turn into a category. [ælfəks] 03:07, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
