WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Article is just a random listing of video games thrown together based on the opinion of article creator. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 03:02, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
- If this is deleted several similar lists such as List of Japanese role-playing games by genre, List of Japanese role-playing games on PC should also be considered for deletion.-- 67.68.21.146 ( talk) 21:57, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. This is a directory in the article namespace, and apart from that this page does not meaningfully contribute to Wikipedia in any way. Dark-World25 ( talk) 05:38, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. A pointless, unreferenced list ~dom Kaos~ ( talk) 18:26, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Categories exist for the exact reason, if this is even important enough to mention. ~ Dissident93 ( talk) 05:45, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
- Comment. I don't see why we would categorize or list RPG video games together based only on whether they were from a Western country rather than something more specific (such as the country of origin itself). But regardless of the merits of this classification, categories and lists both exist for overlapping yet complementary reasons.

- Delete I saw that category already exists for this, this is both duplication which add no little value to an encyclopedia and also clash with what Wikipedia is not; WP:DIRECTORY — Ammarpad ( talk) 18:46, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
