Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of video games considered the best
The list isn't saying "These are the best"; it's saying "These have made the most appearances on lists of the best".  WP:SYNTH is for a completely different situation: it prohibits making statements that aren't derived from any source.  Here, we're simply counting sources.  "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H include this game on their list of the best, so this game's gotten eight 'best' reviews, and it's more commonly considered among the best than that other game, which only appears as 'best' on seven lists".  Please read ; routine mathematical calculations, including addition, are not a violation of this policy
