Chronological list of Famicom games, 1989-1994

List is no longer necessary as the List of Famicom games can be sorted by date if needed. List contains the same information found in the List of Famicom games with the exception of the Japanese text in which I do not think is necessary to include in the big list.

I am also nominating the following related page for the same exact reason as above:

Delete, list is redundant to List of Famicom games, and serves no purpose. Salavat (talk) 02:21, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, it has outlived its time.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:23, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: the list is redundant to List of Famicom games and is based around a trivial piece of information. Serves no purpose. -- Nomader ^(Talk) 02:55, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: this is a minor list that can better serve readers under the main list of Famicom games. GVnayR (talk) 03:23, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Famicom games. Not a redirect I would have created from scratch, but if a page is removed because the information is elsewhere, there is no real reason not to leave a signpost behind, especially since redirects are cheap. (There is always the possibility that someone may have viewed this page before and want to come back to it.) Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:48, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as per Sjakkalle, I was just about to give the same reasoning. Also, since a lot of these games were released in Japan only, having the Japanese signs from the other article merged sounds reasonable to me.- Mgm|^(talk) 09:00, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
After much deliberation, I will officially change my vote to Redirect. After sleeping on it and thinking about it while playing my wrestling game, I figure that it's more logical to have a small list of Japanese NES games become a redirect to a larger list of Japanese NES games instead of having people having to manually change the redlinks to link to the larger list.

- From looking at "what links here", nearly all of the pages that link to the two lists are from the user- or Wikipedia-spaces, not the mainspace. MuZemike (talk) 18:12, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above; the sortable list makes these redundant. No need to redirect; a highly unlikely search term, and it seems there will be no article-space redlinks to manually change [1]. Marasmusine (talk) 14:51, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, list is redundant. --Syed ^(talk) 14:05, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
