Online Pass

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article constitutes nothing more than a list of miscellaneous information that would be better served being mentioned in their respective articles for each game involved. At this junction, however, the article is almost-entirely unsourced, and does absolutely nothing to establish stand-a-lone notability. The lead-in section is nothing more than an unsourced definition for a very vague term which could apply to any number of online systems where access was restricted - whereby Wikipedia is not a dictionary, but Wikitionary is.

 * Merge to Multiplayer online game - getting to be more and more common that a "pass" is required with new games, especially with Electronic Arts and THQ. The coverage is definitely out there (see Kotaku and Joystiq as examples), but it's unnecessary article spinout. --Teancum (talk) 13:05, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete a 'pass' is needed for access to lots of things, that one of them is online does not make it notably different from an office pass, a library pass, or a backwards pass. MLA (talk) 22:00, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
