Taxi game

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is claiming that "Taxi Game" is a video game genre. I am unable to find any sources backing this up, and the source in the article currently actually contradicts the topic, as it does not list the example as being in the "Taxi Game" genre. Other examples given on the article also contradict this, by not being listed under the genre on Wikipedia, or on other reliable sources. Prod was contested for reason "Look for references such as reviews of the games per WP:BEFORE", which I have done, reviews of the games on reliable sites do not state that "Taxi Game" is a genre.

 * Delete per nomination and WP:NEO. No evidence that this term has widespread use in the industry. Jujutacular talkcontribs 22:56, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or categorize - it's a keyword/tag used at mobygames (Taxi games), but many of those games are sidescrollers/platformers more than "taxi simulators". Only the Crazy Taxi series, plus Taxi Rider, The Simpsons Road Rage, and a handful of games by Team6 Game Studios, could realistically be grouped together as "taxi driving games". Might be worth a category, but almost definitely not an article/list. -- Quiddity (talk) 19:27, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
