Deletion of Game of the Year

Comment: rename as a list article and weed ruthlessly  - The topic is a notable one. The concept of the "Game of the Year" is an important one in gaming culture and it is one that is shared across many video game journalism sources. Frankly I'd be surprised if there was no coverage of the concept as a stand-alone topic. But with that said, I sympathize strongly with the nom's points here. The length of lists like this alone make them hard to navigate and when large sections of them are unsupported by refs they set a poor tone and become a magnet for unsourceable trivia and cruft. I do agree that the board games section should be split off and perhaps we could add php's linked award to this list as well. The number of board game GotYs are small enough that a list of all List of board game Games of the Year would be well within the bounds of . I also think that the reader polls should be either split or deleted. I fully support Uzma Gamal's points #1, 2, and 3, and I largely agree with point #5 as well. Point 4 is the equivalent of requiring notability for the award itself, though, and since this is not a list of awards, but rather a list of GotY-winning games, I think that would change the article's scope

Comment: WP:NOT#DIR is irrelevant because that is directed at "''Directories, directory entries, electronic program guide, or a resource for conducting business.''"  This is more like a dab page for the general concept, assisting readers in either finding a particular award or browsing a list of them.  The equivalent for movies would be Film awards.  Moreover, the page has over two hundred sources and so represents a lot of work.  To casually delete this would be contrary to |editing policy and be quite |disruptive
