The result was keep. WP:LISTN does not provide clear guidance here, and so I have to give larger weight than usual to the number of !votes that find this a useful list. If the sourcing problems highlighted by Czar are not fixed, a future AfD may be necessary. Vanamonde (Talk) 01:21, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Please see the deletion rationale at Articles for deletion/List of cancelled games for Sony consoles. Group noms haven't gone well for me in the past, so I am nominating other lists like this individually but the same rationale applies to each. See WikiProject Deletion sorting/Video games for other noms.  // Timothy ::  talk  20:44, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect - A redirect is better than getting this completely deleted... Roberth Martinez (talk) 20:45, 29 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete for being nothing but a WP:GAMECRUFT magnet. Namcokid  47  (Contribs) 20:54, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Nom rationale does not apply. The argument to delete on the other articles was that "List of cancelled games on " was a bad scope, not "List of cancelled games on ". TarkusAB talk / contrib 02:53, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as it is focused and well-sourced. At most, merge to List of 3DO Interactive Multiplayer games. IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 11:39, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep since it sufficiently references some of the most notable games released and meets the scope of the relevant platform. Deltasim (talk) 15:05, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Request for sources: the subject of the article is "List of cancelled List of cancelled 3DO Interactive Multiplayer games", not an individual game. SIGCOV requires the subject be addressed directly and indepth. None of the sources in the article address the subject directly and indepth. Would you list some sources you found with SIGCOV for the subject discussing it as a group, not mentions about individual list items?   // Timothy ::  talk  16:54, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Sorry, this is pretty far from "well-sourced". Follow any sampling of the refs: Many sources are plainly unreliable (GameFAQs, VGFacts, Assemblergames.com) and shouldn't be cited at all. Then take any of the magazine scans—the citation that the game is "canceled" says nothing of the sort. They link to one extremely brief mentions that a game is "coming soon" or demoed at a trade show. There is no evidence that the vast majority of these games were canceled, nevertheless that those cancellations received coverage, nevertheless that those cancellations were noteworthy enough as a group to warrant collection as a list. This list, just as the others nominated, attract original research edits that are antithetical to our encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a directory and a game being mentioned as in consideration for a platform is neither a defining trait or the defining basis for a notable grouping. czar  06:06, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - this article is more like the types of articles that look like they’ll be kept more than the ones that have recently been deleted. Sergecross73   msg me  18:00, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per IceWelder. Captain  Galaxy  23:38, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
