The result was merge to Glossary of video game terms. This is a slightly early close, but the WP:SNOW has fallen on keeping this as a separate article. bd2412 T 22:28, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Pack-in game

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:LISTCRUFT are my primary concerns. This page is mostly unsourced, and has been for years. Pack-in games can easily be covered at the console's main page. JOE BRO  64  00:14, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm inclined to a merge to video game console of anything reliably sourced (not the list--though, these are reasonably self-sourced). I would expect that the packaging of consoles would be described there to some degree. Aside: That article does not do a very good job of summarizing History of video games. --Izno (talk) 13:25, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - per WP:LISTCRUFT, WP:NOTDIC. There's really not much to be said here. A "pack in game" is a "game packaged together with a console". That's it. The rest of the article is merely a (largely unsourced) massive list of every time companies packaged two things together, which isn't the type a thing an encyclopedia documents. The relevant, notable pairings (Wii Sports with the Wii) are already better covered at their respective articles. Sergecross73   msg me  14:11, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete and redirect to Glossary of video game terms. There's a lot of junk in this article but the term is common enough for me to have linked to it at least several times. At the very least, a short, sourced definition is possible. An entry in the jargon glossary would be sufficient. czar  03:47, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
