Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/List of free Epic Games Store games
Transwiki Plan
It seems clear that many of us (including myself, who voted delete) still want this information stored and updated somewhere. Let's discuss 1) where that should be, and 2) how we should go about acquiring a copy of the deleted article so that it can be moved to the chosen place. To give us something to work off of, it looks like PC Gaming Wiki might be a good place, and we may be able to use the info at CAT:UNDELETE to get the article. 3fishes (talk) 19:53, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- See WP:REFUND and ask for undelete to a user-page. --Masem (t) 20:01, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- That was deleted swiftly as I was still in the process of responding to the comments last week. Will the moderator or admin reformat to a new wiki? I only have enough free time to make comments like this once or twice a week and make content updates once or twice a month. — Preceding unsigned comment added by N64ra (talk • contribs) 20:15, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
Similar Pages
There are a variety of similar pages on Wikipedia that are not not materially different from this one, in that they are a list of free games along with the dates during which they were free. As we've found there is a consensus on this issue, these pages should be able to be deleted swiftly, under WP:NOTCATALOG. 3fishes (talk) 20:11, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

- I was planning on waiting about a week to do the other pages on this basis, giving the time in case there's a valid reason to undo the deletion. --Masem (t) 20:15, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
That's a LOT of information to delete from history. No other place has that much information saved, nobody has committed to moving it, and those have already survived the "Articles for deletion". n64ra (talk) 20:34, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
