Per WP:SYNTH and WP:NOTDICTIONARY. We have Glossary of video game terminology for stuff like this, which isn't independently notable. The main problem is that unlockable in a gaming sense doesn't really mean anything different than it does in normal usage. It's something you can unlock. Everything else is merely an attempt to give examples. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 15:45, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

- Merge per WP:NOTDICT. The glossary article's function is for articles exactly like this. Sergecross73 msg me 16:11, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- Merge per WP:NOTDICT. This is more appropriate for a glossary since Wikipedia doesn't do short dictionary definition articles. Shooterwalker ( talk) 01:19, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- Merge. This article struck me as silly when I merged in content from another article that was even more specific, but I figured there'd be some resistance to merging it. I guess times have changed since 2013, when it was almost impossible to get anything deleted on Wikipedia. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 21:42, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- Merge to glossary article per above. // Timothy :: talk 04:40, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- Merge. A lot of the content are examples, detailing their implementation in particular games and trivia-like content. But we don't really want or need that. The glossary article can work for that. SWinxy ( talk) 23:41, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
