For the same reasons given in the above AfDs, the list is not notable, fails WP:LISTN does not have WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS discussing this as a group. References are to individual items, not SIGCOV as a group.

Since this is a simple list, the operative part of LISTN is, "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list.". Countless AfDs have affirmed a consensus that, barring some extenuating facts particular to a list, for a list to be notable it must be discussed as a group as stated in LISTN. // Timothy :: talk 20:59, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because in its current state it's a jumble of ideas with loose scope. Someone should probably create NG Dev Team (not sure how they format the name) and list their games there. The company is notable and has sources. The other homebrew games and companies not so much. No prejudice against someone creating a "list of cancelled Neo Geo games" or equivalent, if scope sticks to official games that went unreleased.

Redirect - A redirect is better than getting all of this info lost in the sand of time. I do agree with the idea of TarkusAB with creating an article about NG Dev Team but that's easier said than done, because finding info about a German homebrew game maker for Neo Geo is extremely difficult...

- Are you just voting Redirect because you feel hopeless about the AFD? That's what it sounds like. Also if you use the WP:VG/RS search engine for NG Dev Team, there are quite a few articles about them and their games. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 03:07, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Actually, I don't feel hopeless by voting redirect about all of the deletion nominations. Because I know that the stuff I've contributed is kept in the revision history of the main game list of every system. Roberth Martinez (talk) 03:41, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's all primary sources. No use in redirecting to List of Neo Geo games if there's nothing to merge. Lacks significant coverage as a topic. Some platforms have significant homebrew/unlicensed game coverage but this does not. (not watching, please ((ping))) czar 06:05, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: This is not a very well-organised list. The most notable titles should be merged with the list to their respective platforms. Deltasim (talk) 15:17, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
