I am nominating this for featured list removal because nobody is actively maintaining this list; it is not up to date, as indicated by tags and talk page messages asking for updates, none of which have generated any action or replies since at least May. This also include one question about whether this should stay a Featured list. Problems noted include criteria 3 (Comprehensiveness - not up to date) and 4 (Structure - confusing section names).

- I agree that it should be removed. Even if the list can be updated now, we'd just get in the same situation in half a year. If it would get updated accordingly and someone is willing to keep it updated, I might be interested in keeping it. The lack of good prose doesn't help in my opinion. ~Mable (chat) 10:26, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist. Agreed. An article should not be featured if it'll continue to be outdated. I'm also not sure why there's an "other games" section when they're also video games... Anarchyte (work | talk) 10:28, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist I would actually delist for another reason. The structure of the table is very strange, there is a notes row for each entry, which almost always contains the publisher. Why not have a publisher column instead, so it can be sorted. Same with release date, should be column and not nested row. Also, why is there two lists, one "video games" and the other "other video games". It's not a ton of work, but there is serious enough structural flaws that I recommend delisting unless someone wants to fix it. Mattximus (talk) 00:59, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Closing note: This candidate has been removed, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:19, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
