Recently tagged for OR/GNG. My BEFORE in scholarly shows mentions in passing, but nothing dedicated to this. Not sure if WP:SIGCOV can be met; the current sources focus on this term within one game. OR is present as the alternative names are for example just examples; ditto for the poorly formatted list of examples. This might warrant WP:TNT or redirecting for now - it should be written from scratch with reliable, scholarly sources, if it is possible. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:40, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to glossary of video game terms. I agree with much of the nomination, and this target is a common location for these under-sourced, under-developed video games terms. Sergecross73 msg me 03:11, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Campaign (gaming) of which this is essentially an overlap in every way. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:21, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to glossary of video game terms per nom. Campaign (gaming) has a host of content issues, chiefly that it too is being used as a glossary term. czar 04:17, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'm not really certain "campaign (gaming)" would survive an AFD or merge discussion either... Sergecross73 msg me 19:50, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to glossary of video game terms as a WP:ATD. It lacks the coverage to substantiate notability. The article needs a WP:TNT approach as suggested by the nominator. I do think there is potential to reforge something. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 05:43, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Sports video game#Game design; this article lacks the overview-level sourcing required for a stand-alone page but it's essentially being discussed in the context of sports video games, it fits in nicely with the target section where such information is lacking, and the target section has been tagged since February 2009 as needing expansion.
