Compilation packs for the Grand Theft Auto series

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I have proposed that this article be deleted; please feel free to discuss further.

Quality: This is a Start-class article, although it is virtually a stub. Nowhere near enough information to stand as its own article. Most of the information here can just be merged into the GTA series page or into the individual articles it applies to.

Factuality: There are only two sources cited in the article. Articles without sources cannot be verifiable.

Let us reach an appropriate consensus. VG Editor (talk) 07:29, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is so trivial. Who cares about how a company packages their products? You might as well have an article on General Mills cereal boxes. Borock (talk) 15:46, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, agree with user above, too trivial and an example of fancruft - information which is too specific and therefore has no place on wikipedia/ (Lil-unique1 (talk) 17:04, 16 August 2009 (UTC))[reply]
Delete All are already mentioned on the main GTA article and they will never be more than stubs. TJ Spyke 17:34, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Any such material worth noting related to this subject is better covered in the individual game articles, not a page like this.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 09:06, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep the Rock Band series has an article for Track Packs, discs which are essentially re-publications of content available as DLC. Although not quite the same as re-packaging of games already released in the same medium, I think an article on compilation packs is useful in describing the spread of popularity of the GTA series. The Double Pack was a big deal when it came out - two amazing games not yet available for the Xbox, for the price of only one. If the article can spend more time discussing how these re-packagings contributes to total sales, it could be useful. Y2kcrazyjoker4 (talk) 13:03, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can be Keep if this was remade into a list to outline the pack name, release dates and platforms, and the like. --MASEM (t) 23:01, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, reads like an advertisement, extremely trivial. Maybe worth a mention in the list of GTA media but you don't need this article for that. Axem Titanium (talk) 04:41, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
