List of animals in Zoo Tycoon 2
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article has a very long history and was restored at this RfD without prejudice against a later nomination at AfD. The main concern is that it falls foul of WP:VGSCOPE, in particular #7 which is itself linked to the policy WP:NOT, in particular the sections WP:NOTDIR and WP:GAMEGUIDE, which seem relevant here. On top of that, this fails WP:LISTN due to a lack of significant coverage from reliable, independent sources and meets none of the three main purposes for lists detailed at WP:LISTPURP.

This could be a PROD but given that List of animals in Zoo Tycoon was contested I suspect this one would be too. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 15:06, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Oops, didn't realise this had an AfD before. In that case, this definitely needs AfD and not PROD. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 15:09, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete without a merge. Such a list fails WP:NOT. Examples of more exotic animals as noted by reliable sources would be reasonable in gameplay but not a full list. --M asem (t) 15:27, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - not suitable for a standalone article, and a list of items fails WP:GAMEGUIDE and is just WP:FANCRUFT Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:47, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - per WP:GAMECRUFT. Not even close to appropriate. Sergecross73   msg me  18:29, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per above as pure WP:GAMECRUFT. As Masem said, if some qualification were given to certain species, maybe there'd be something to merge or redirect, but that doesn't appear to be the case. —  Ghost River  18:47, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - This article has been active for over a decade, why do you now decide it needs to go down? This just seems rather a very extreme reaction. --Mjmannella (talk) 21:35, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Out of scope. Dronebogus (talk) 21:41, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:NOTGAMEGUIDE. Ajf773 (talk) 08:08, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Pure WP:GAMEGUIDE content that violates WP:NOT. Fails WP:LISTN. Same as the other. -- ferret (talk) 13:51, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per all above. This kind of content belongs to Fandom and other similar projects/wikis. Mann Mann (talk) 05:02, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per nom and WP:GAMEGUIDE. DocFreeman24 (talk) 03:52, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Isn't it ironic that AFDs attract a lot of opinions only when the answer is obvious or interesting? Panini! 🥪 14:07, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
