Merge to List of controversial video games[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

Closed as merge, but to Scrabble instead of the list, per support for a merge to that instead of the list. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 22:26, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While the game did receive significant coverage from general press (1) as well as gaming-specific outlets, it was all focused on the use of profane and potentially homophobic words. I was able to find a reliable source's review and a brief secondary announcement, but not much else. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/School Shooter: North American Tour 2012 concluded that the game was more notable for the controversy than the game itself, and the article became a redirect to the list entry, so there is precedent.

Opposed Why would a reader expect this topic to redirect to the list of controversial video games? If it's being merged anywhere, it should be an article on the Scrabble franchise. -- ferret (talk) 02:29, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, but first with Scrabble (video game) The nomination should be merged. Yes, it fails notability having no assessment other than a sentence in Games for Windows [1]. IGN has some good sources for a 2007 mobile Scrabble game, but I'm not sure if that's the same release. There is widespread sourcing on the controversy, including Engadget [2] Wired [3][4] The Escapist [5] Eurogamer [6] and Destructoid [7]. But just because the only sourcing that can be found about an article is on its notoriety doesn't mean its natural home is a controversy list. That said, I was surprised that there's no real criteria for inclusion in the list, so given the sourcing on the controversy is good, there's no issue with putting it there too.

Oppose It should be merged into the Scrabble main article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:55, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
