Category:D.I.C.E. Award winners ( talk| | history| logs| links| watch) ( XfD| restore)

I would like to provide to some information that was not part of the deletion discussion. I have to point that there are category pages for the British Academy Game Awards winners at Category:BAFTA winners (video games). In my opinion, the D.I.C.E. Awards are more defining than the British Academy Game Awards. There are also categories for Category:Game Developers Choice Award winners, Category:Golden Joystick Award winners, and even Category:New York Game Award winners. There also category GOTY winner categories for the Game Developers Choice Awards and Golden Joystick Awards. I feel that at the very least the Category:D.I.C.E. Award for Game of the Year winners MR.RockGamer17 ( talk) 16:42, 29 November 2023 (UTC) reply

I concur with MR.RockGamer17. The D.I.C.E. Awards (originally called the Interactive Achievement Awards before 2013) is a highly prestigious peer-based awards ceremony that has been going strong for close to 27 years, with no cessation in sight. Many of the top video game companies from around the world (Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, Bethesda, etc.) are sponsors of the D.I.C.E. Awards, so it has tremendous financial support. Many of the games that has won throughout its history are amongst the best games of all time, and the winners of those awards were voted on by nearly 30,000 worldwide video game industry professionals (publishers, developers, designers, artists, programmers, etc.). The D.I.C.E. Awards' voting methodology is very similar to the peer-based voting methodologies from other art and sciences "academies" (AMPAS for Oscars, the Recording Academy for Grammys, ATAS for Emmys, etc.). An award won from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences is at least on par with The Game Awards, the BAFTAS and the GDC in terms of industry prestige, if not more so because of the aforementioned voting methodology. The awards ceremony also occurred in one of the biggest networking conventions amongst the video game industry, the D.I.C.E. Summit (hence the name the D.I.C.E. Awards). If the Game Developers Choice Award, the Golden Joystick Award, and the New York Game Award are allowed to have their specified Category Wiki pages, it would stand to reason that the D.I.C.E. Awards should have those Category Wiki pages as well. Tommybone32 ( talk) 18:47, 29 November 2023 (UTC) reply

• Endorse this is a regurgitation of your comments on the CfD itself, not a valid premise for a DRV. DRV is not CfD round two. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 05:48, 30 November 2023 (UTC) reply

  Then what would be a valid premise? MR.RockGamer17 ( talk) 13:04, 30 November 2023 (UTC) reply

  Claiming that the closure in some way failed to respect the consensus the participants came to. But that's just not possible when every participant other than you supported deletion. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:26, 30 November 2023 (UTC) reply

  And who are these participants that supported the deletion, if I may ask? Tommybone32 ( talk) 17:09, 30 November 2023 (UTC) reply

  Can you really not see that for yourself? Have you even read the discussion you are requesting be overturned? * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 23:16, 30 November 2023 (UTC) reply

• Comment: I won't endorse my own close (before I was renamed), but: (a) no attempt was made to contact me before DRV, (b) there was clear consensus to delete, and (c) WP:OCAWARD prohibits these categories most of the time. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (no relation) 22:40, 2 December 2023 (UTC) reply
• Endorse if this is an appeal to overturn the deletion. (If it is something else, what is this?) Robert McClenon ( talk) 07:21, 3 December 2023 (UTC) reply
• Comment - An editor asks And who are these participants that supported the deletion, if I may ask? There is a link to the XFD at the top of most DRV entries including this one. That was an unnecessary question. Robert McClenon ( talk) 07:21, 3 December 2023 (UTC) reply
• Endorse (as participant) WP:OCAWARD was rewritten by consensus a few years ago and is worth a read as probably the toughest subsection of WP:OC. While MR.RockGamer17 is 100% correct that there are a lot of other non-defining award categories out there that should also be nominated, that's not a deficiency with how this nomination was closed. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 20:37, 3 December 2023 (UTC) reply
• Endorse The DRV argument seems to be an argument that other categories should also be deleted under the same guideline, not an argument for restoring deleted categories after a very clear consensus. SportingFlyer T· C 18:45, 6 December 2023 (UTC) reply
