Taiko no Tatsujin (video game)

As a fan and creator of articles of some of the more recent releases, I am nominating all articles of individual Taiko no Tatsujin releases for deletion because there is just not enough notability individually. Most console releases receive a Famitsu score and that's it, and arcade releases receive even less RS attention. Most times I write on any of these it easily spirals into only large chunks of unsourced prose and/or just the playable song list. 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 09:28, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bundle added. Taiko: Drum Master was kinda OK IMO because as the only English release more RS actually cared. 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 09:47, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. @Hisashiyarouin, why are these being nominated for deletion? Wouldn't it make more sense to just redirect them to the series page (Taiko no Tatsujin)? They're all valid search terms. Did anyone contest you redirecting the ones without sources? czar ♔ 14:47, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Mostly on the safe side, considering there is so many of them and there are considerable work from other people. 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 23:38, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Redirect. A WP:VG/RS search shows enough coverage for the series in aggregate, but not individually (eh, could probably make a case for the original DS release with its review from NWR, sales article in Kotaku, Wired mention, but it really would fit better in the parent article). If reliable non-English and offline sources can be found for an individual title, have at it. Nothing to merge, the articles and track listings are unsourced. czar ♔ 14:30, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/merge - Deletion is certainly not appropriate. Merge and redirect as appropriate with the series page. JTdale ^Talk 16:45, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/merge - Per Czar and JTdale. Especially if Famitsu has given them scores I see no reason to delete this RS info. Also is Famitsu really the only magazine covering Japanese games these days? I only know anything about Japan's 1990s-era coverage, but they used to have several magazines back then. Whatever happened to Famimaga? Gamest? Beep? Have they all gone defunct? Is there nothing that has replaced them? -Thibbs (talk) 12:48, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
