Talk:Game designer

message: I was referred to this page by the article about board game designer Klaus Teuber. This page has very little to say about board games. The disparity should be addressed; either add some material about board game design or rename this article. 165.91.64.108 (talk)RKH  —Preceding comment was added at 04:41, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This was discussed before, in a discussion that's been archived.  Content for this site is submitted by users.  If no one is willing to submit material on board game design, there's really nothing we can do about it.  It's not like anyone makes money submitting content to the site. So, someday someone may add material about board game design.  But for now, all we can do is shrug our shoulders. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 17:44, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Question 

message: There is nothing in the games inventor article that makes it notable enough to stand alone.  In fact, it has so little content that it could be deleted outright without any tears from me.  But discuss the merge on its talk page. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 18:44, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: Below is content relating to non-video game information:
"The [game designer] applies to the designer of any game, whether a video game or tabletop game, such as board game or card game."
"It is not known when the earliest board game was made: Senet has been found in tombs from 3500 BC. The oldest playing cards were found in China and may date from the 9th century AD. Dice may have been invented in the third millennium BC in India."
"==See also== List of role-playing game designers"
Is this article really in the scope of anything but video games? I propose to just tag it with video game project, put a dablink notice and remove it from board game project scope. I'm not sure on RPG project policies, but this article seems very vaguely related.—  H3llkn0wz  ▎talk  02:48, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's just about video game designers.  If someone comes up with a real article on other types of game designers, we can deal with it then. — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 13:20, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: In that case, I will just merge it → Game Design once I'm finished with ce of both since there is not much stand-alone content.—  H3llkn0wz  ▎talk  15:05, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Board games? 

message: All the video game only related information was moved into Game design. The several remainder paragraphs about game designer were then merged into game design as well. This is the pre-merge stub article about tabletop games. I, personally, do not expect it to be expanded any day soon, until which the article will redirect to "game design#game designer". See this disc and this old disc for reference.
For anyone's reference: I know these are two separate topics involving more than just video games, however this article was completely unsourced and filled with OR and essay material. There has not been initiative to expand or source it; therefore I merged and referenced it under game design instead. —  H3llkn0wz  ▎talk  21:33, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
