List of video games considered the greatest

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Completely OR list with no clear criteria for inclusion. It was created by an editor with a history of disruptive behavior who recently returned from an indef block which was placed, in part, for repeated introduction of OR to articles.  caknuck °  needs to be running more often  03:40, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as utterly lacking in inclusion criteria. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 04:00, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - The title is a dead give away, this article is all Original Research. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 04:21, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per aforementioned reasons. -- GSK (talk ● evidence) 04:40, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, a list without proper inclusion criteria, making it nondiscriminate and subjective. Few of the listed items have sources. J I P  | Talk 06:54, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Violates WP:NPOV. ShawnIsHere (talk) 09:30, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, unsourced/OR.  Anna Lincoln  09:34, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete and WP:SNOW should be considered-- the article isn't by a new contributor. I note that the article's author has now been banned indefinitely, with some mention of "impersonating an administrator". Mandsford (talk) 14:10, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Entirely original research. The only sourced section is Super Mario Bros. Also, user has been warned and blocked many, many times for adding original research to articles, so I'm even more convinced that's all this is. ~  Baron Von Yiffington  . talk . contribs 15:08, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

 * I second a Snow Delete - this article has no chance at all at staying. Axe it so we can focus on articles that can possibly be rescued.  Full of WP:OR which could never be backed up.  "Considered the greatest" is a relative term to everyone.  Nobody could ever come up with a hard-lined set of criteria for this article that could be agreed on. --Teancum (talk) 19:21, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - In the article's defense, I think it is meant as an appropriate counterpart to the article List of video games notable for negative reception. So it's not the subjective, OR-based article that the title makes it sound like. However, even the "negative reception" article gets into a lot of debate over grey areas, and for every video game notable for negative reception, there are 10 notable for positive reception. If this article isn't deleted, it's simply going to become a hotbed for debates over which games to include in the list.--Martin IIIa (talk) 16:16, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
