The result was delete. Category already exists. A Traintalk 14:54, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Suggesting deletion for a number of reasons, primary that WP:NOT a directory, and given the strong lack of encyclopedic context here, Mediawiki categories are much better suited for the job. Second is that this list is being used to circumvent a number of previous AFDs to advertise for dance games that have been deleted (and re-deleted), but this is only a supplemental reason. Categories fix both problems with one stone. Burntsauce 18:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete We are not a directory. The list is unencyclopedic and half of the games mentioned are redlinks. It would be hard to keep this article up to date. A category could easily take the place of this article. NASCAR Fan24(radio me!) 18:19, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge list of notable games with Music video game. Many of these are not notable, and the notable games don't need to be listed on a separate page. J-ſtanTalkContribs 18:59, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or have as a category. Encyclopedias do help to organize human knowledge and list are an effective means of doing so. Best, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 19:09, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete better as a category. ALKIVAR™ ☢ 20:21, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Notable subject, useful list. Additional comments and header info make it better as a list than a category. Wikidemo 15:56, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The same additional comments you refer to can be placed directly in the category. In fact, the current comments at Category:Dance video games do a better and more succinct job than the article does, completely obviating any need for this list.

- Delete---Wikidemo, Grand Roi, "there is nothing wrong with having lists if their entries are famous *because* they are associated with or significantly contributed to the list topic." according to policy. This article is then clearly what wikipedia is not, it imparts no significant contribution to the topic. Also consider that there are no sources for the two sentences defining what is or is not a dance game. Lotusduck 19:41, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and convert to category. A category called Category:Dance video games i think is much better. -- Magioladitis 13:21, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
