:'''Nominator's rationale:''' This one has been back for a while, but like the newly created [[:Category:Tragedy video games]], there's no parent article to explain the term and a quick spot check of 3-4 articles found none of this mention the word tragedy at all. Without any context or sourcing, this should be deleted. Sources don't discuss video games, manga or anime as being in a "tragedy" genre. -- [[User:Ferret|ferret]] ([[User_talk:Ferret|talk]]) 15:57, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

:'''Support'''. I don't see the connection to "tragedy" either from my browsing through the category content. [[User:Marvin The Paranoid|A really paranoid android]] ([[User talk:Marvin The Paranoid|talk]]) 15:12, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

**'''Comment''' I see some connections. [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]], for example, is mostly centered on the [[mental illness]]es of its characters and how they affect their own hehavior and the fate of their world. Among the problems depicted are [[schizophrenia]], the [[Oedipus complex]], and the [[Electra complex]]. Remember that [[tragedy]] mainly deals with human suffering, and the characters being doomed due to their own [[character flaw]]s and personal mistakes. However, we need third-party sources to determine genre, not our own research. [[User:Dimadick|Dimadick]] ([[User talk:Dimadick|talk]]) 13:30, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
