Unnecessary "... (series)" article. Edge of Twilight (video game), while notable, remains unreleased, with two mobile releases without articles. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 09:18, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per nominator's own words: There are three games, so there is a series. Whether all games have articles is irrelevant. In fact, those not having articles means a series article is useful to have some place to include that information which would be misplaced at Edge of Twilight (video game) and lost if the series article was deleted (thus violating WP:PRESERVE).

Well, there are two released mobile titles, which haven't met stand-alone notability apparently. Looking through the WP:VG/RS custom Google search engine, there are some sources, but nothing that would merit expanding into separate articles. Edge of Twilight was eventually released in June 2016 on Steam, to little fanfare. I'm hesitant to believe the article will see an expansion soon. Since the two mobile titles are already mentioned at Edge of Twilight (video game), why not organize into a single, encompassing article? Or, if I can make another suggestion, instead of deleting, why not merge "Edge of Twilight (video game)" into "Edge of Twilight (series)"? soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 11:04, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Unless the mobile games are mobile versions of Edge of Twilight (video game), which they don't appear to be, they would be misplaced in that article. And if Edge of Twilight (video game) is notable on its own, there is no reason to merge it into the series article. Per WP:CSC, stand-alone lists are acceptable for topics that do warrant independent articles but should still be included, which imho applies to the mobile games here. The question is: Why force the removal the series article which serves as an overview for three distinct games? Neither alternative you envision seems better than the status quo.

Merge the series content into the video game article per the nominator. --Izno (talk) 13:30, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
