List of computer and video games not released in the USA

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia isn't apparently 'indescriminate information', and this list is pretty much that. It would be near impossible to complete (there must be thousands of video games not released in the USA), especially as the criteria is so broad that stuff like Animal Forest (the Japanese version of Animal Crossing, which was released in the US on the Gamecube) or alterernative versions of games like Kingdom Hearts 2 - Final Mix are included.

 * Delete - this would be positively innumerable, and unmanageable list. --Haemo 00:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom.-- $U IT  03:07, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - No real use for list, and it would be HUGE! -- Theshoestore 04:08, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - vaguely defined lists of things that have happened are bad enough, ones about things that haven't happened are even worse. Lankiveil 04:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC).
 * Delete per nom. Scienter 04:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Japan gets hundreds (if not thousands) of games not released outside of the country, not to mention the hundreds of shoveware crap released in Europe (like ANYTHING from Phoenix Games). TJ Spyke 05:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete; unmaintainable, not really much of a point to this one. --Merovingian ※ Talk 05:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Impossible to maintain this- there must be thousands of video games not released in the USA!  Cat tleG irl  '' talk 05:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. How could one possible properly maintain a list like this? Dump it. Realkyhick 06:53, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per JALOUF. What defines "released" anyway? What if I bought it online from Japan and the UPS guy released it? --I already forgot 09:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unmaintainable. Delete per WP:NOT. -- KZ      Talk  •  Vandal  •  Contrib  10:03, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Clear WP:NOT Orderinchaos78 14:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unmaintainable. 23skidoo 14:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - It's unmaintainable, impractical, and not useful. -- Wenli 17:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - way too overbroad, could easily span 10,000 or more items if kept. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 18:30, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom - keeping it would set a horrible precedent for a list for every other country. -  Irides centi  (talk to me!) 18:48, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this list or repository of loosely associated topics. szyslak  (t, c) 20:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. While criteria for inclusion ought to be tightened up (and stated in the intro to the list), I find it hard to believe that this is "indiscriminate information".  Clear criteria for inclusion can be formulated, and any vagueness is a cleanup issue in any case.  The page serves a valuable indexing function for people interested in games without a US release.  - Smerdis of Tlön 22:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral. To some extent I agree with the last user. But in its current form, the list is unmanageable. There are a lot of noteable games not released in the U.S (and Europe too), but then some criterion for inclusion is needed.Dr bab 23:17, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this as the subject is nationalistically POV, in addition Computer and video games not released in the USA is not an article and there doesn't need to be a list for it. Mr. Berry 23:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The list is unmaintainable, and as such, Wikipedia is not a repository of lists. --sunstar nettalk 23:58, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - entirely unmaintainable, and in pretty bad condition. -- Chairman S. Talk  Contribs  08:55, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as US-centric and unnecessary. Punkmorten 09:22, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 02:23, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Proposal: I would like to propose that instead of maintaining such a problematic list as this, we simple create various region exclusive lists. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 12:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
