Save the idiot
The term does not look notable Alex Bakharev 01:33, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep- It's a common mechanic used in a number of games. Quiet a few actually, so I see no reason not to have an article on it. (Animedude 06:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC))
 * Then you should be able to cite sources to show that it has already been researched and documented outside of Wikipedia, in accordance with our Verifiability and No original research policies. You have so far not cited any sources at all.  Wikipedia is not a publisher of first instance.  Demonstrate that you aren't coming to Wikipedia to document the undocumented.

 * Cite what? Thats like asking me to cite "shooting game". There are games in which you shoot, there are games in which you escort an NPC. The article names three of these games. Would like a longer List?(Animedude 10:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC))
 * I beleive what you're thinking of is "Escort Mission", which is still probably not notable enough for WP, though more widely used than this -- febtalk 11:31, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as it IS fairly common in gaming, from Spider-Man 2 to Resident Evil 4. References and cleanup would be groovy. ZimmerBarnes 14:32, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete/Merge Not notable enough to have own article, but mention on the Lemmings/Earthworm Jim page. JameiLei 15:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable, fails to meet wikipedia standards; delete. Retiono Virginian 17:36, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete on lack of notability, unless reliable sources are found. This particular game mechanic (in platform games in particular) is familiar though not often used, another example would be the Comic Relief game Sleepwalker, though I've not heard a catch-all phrase for it and mixing up Lemmings with them weakens rather than strengthens the term. It's also quite derogatory - sounds more like a term bandied around on message boards by irate gamers than a widely-accepted descriptor. QuagmireDog 22:38, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. SriKorange
