text: *Support since Visual novels are a genre of video games and it’s the same reason Contra (video game) isn’t titled Contra (Shoot 'em up). I also noticed the existence of Air (visual novel) and would suggest moving that as well.--65.92.160.124 (talk) 03:14, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

text: * If this move goes through, I will just boldly move the other one or request an uncontroversial move, citing this discussion.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 07:54, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

text: * The RS state that visual novels are absolutely video games. If someone has a problem with that, they'd be going against published RS that state as such. An example is here, where it states that the inclusion of branching path stories qualifies them to be games. Clannad similarly shares a branching plot. There may be an argument when it comes to completely linear visual novels, but those usually aren't even called "visual novels".ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:18, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: *Also, since WP:NPOV calls for us to cover all views that have been covered by reliable sources means that since reliable sources are in agreement they visual novels are video games our NPOV rules in fact encourage the proposed title. In short wikipedia:NPOVTITLE is a nonissue.--65.92.160.124 (talk) 21:18, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Requested move at [[Clannad]] 

message: There's constant push to re-lable every visual novel as a video game because of the december 2021 discussion. I first noticed this with FrontWing's ISLAND and it's being pushed everywhere now.
As I've said when I edited that page, Island is not a "game". It is a "choose your adventure" book told with the aid of audio and visual. Visual Novels of the nature of Clannad and Island don't contain investigative player deduction of the Ace Attorney games, the puzzles of Virtue's Last Reward or the stat management of Tokimeki Memorial nor is it interspliced for cutscenes of a more conventional action game or RPG. They're pure deliberate novels and should be treated as such. 
I'm requesting a site wide undo of labeling everything visual novel as a video when the work in question lacks a proper gamified element. 
None of these works properly match the definition of "video game" as a concept and only serves to mis-inform. Samalik16 (talk) 11:04, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
