Shutdown of online games

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This is a bit of a non-topic really, spun out into a short reflective essay. Obviously old online games get shut down, but if we’re going to have an encyclopedia article about that topic we need more than a couple of random examples. Mccapra (talk) 07:43, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Video games and Internet. Mccapra (talk) 07:43, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Alternatively, what do you think if we combine this article into online games? Dr. Greywolf (talk) 07:57, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I’d be happy with that as an alternative to deletion, yes. Mccapra (talk) 07:58, 27 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Merge to Online game as a WP:ATD. With such a clear merge target, this really should not have gone to AfD. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:55, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, the Cantonese Wiki has a longer article on this topic... could I add a Shutdown of online games to the Cantonese wiki's version of the article? Dr. Greywolf (talk) 13:41, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge per above, as neither article is anywhere near needing a size split. Sergecross73   msg me  16:51, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment ok   I’ve merged the content into Online games. If everyone is happy I’ll redirect and then withdraw this nomination. Mccapra (talk) 21:24, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I am happy with this. Please make the redirect. Dr. Greywolf (talk) 01:01, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
