Deletion Sorting Project
(talk) Project page Lists (by ABC) Lists (by topic) Lists (computer-readable) AfD: Today, Yesterday Delsort scripts

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Games: board, card, etc. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Games|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Games: board, card, etc. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Sports Mogul

Sports Mogul (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Lack of sources that prove notability. Basically it only currently appears notable for designing a couple of sports games. Specifically Baseball Mogul, Masters of the Gridiron (No article of it yet), Football Mogul and Baseball Mogul Online. As an alternative for deletion, an option could be merging the content from the articles of the games it has made into this one. If that is bad, maybe just delete? This feels like a tossup...

• Delete. The three sources given are the company's website, and two links about the game Baseball Mogul. The gamespot link doesn't have anything significant on it (here's what I got on the archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20210830220556/https://www.gamespot.com/games/baseball-mogul-2007/news/), the gamershell link says that Baseball Mogul was the best selling PC baseball game for two years in a row (https://web.archive.org/web/20080207062631/https://gamershell.com/companies/sports_mogul/374303.html). The second article could be added to the Baseball Mogul article. Per WP:PRODUCT, this article could be merged into Baseball Mogul (though that article has mostly dependent coverage). I've proposed Football Mogul for deletion, since it has only dependent coverage or insignificant coverage from IGN and Gamespot. Truthnope (talk) 21:40, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as sourcing fails WP:NCORP and regardless has nothing to say about the company itself, see WP:NOTWORK. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk)
• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies and Connecticut. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 23:23, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete You could derive notability through a third party way on the games they produce, but nothing is talking about the company directly. This clearly fails NCORP and should be deleted. I also feel we shouldn't have any redirect. The term itself Sports Mogul could be a notable term. So this was always the wrong title for the article in the first place.

• Merge to Clay Dreslough, notable person associated with the subject. Go D. Usopp (talk) 12:31, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Lacks standalone notability, and I think redirection is a bit of a stretch for something bigger than just one guy. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:53, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Merge- to the more notable games I see is a good ATD, no SIGCOV caught my attention upon searching its current name, tried even to search for its former name Infinite Monkey Systems but seems to mostly turn up the Theorem than the game devs, did find this interview which I know is primary source, will add it here anyway as part of the discussion.Lorraine Crane (talk) 13:22, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge/redirect to Clay Dreslough – As WP:ATD. Svartner (talk) 02:24, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
