List of video games featuring drones[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Trivial information, "x in video games" is not necessary, let alone informative. Largely unsourced, besides one IGN user submitted gameguide. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 12:16, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note I copied my earlier PROD reasoning when it had one reference. The ones added do not have any substantial information, like The Guardian: "Later, the poorly received Call of Duty: Ghosts, and the decent pair Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, wandered further into a speculative universe of drone warfare, mass electronic disruption and outer space dog fights", which is used for three entries. That a drone appears in a game is not notable. It's a gameplay tool, like a gun, sword or slingshot. Trivial information. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 12:30, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nomination. Not a defining characteristic in video games, but a minor side thing. Not covered in-depth by third party sources. Sergecross73 msg me 12:37, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:LISTN. The sources added are fine for satisfying WP:V that the individual games feature drone(s). None of them discuss "games featuring drones" as a group or set though. The Guardian source is the closest, but it's discussing it within the context of a single series and specifically to the fact that the latest game returns to a historical context. -- ferret (talk) 13:26, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I have to agree with the above; there's no sources indicating that video games featuring drones are a notable topic (in contrast we have List of zombie video games because zombie game or survival horror is a well-known genre, and more fancifully List of space flight simulation games could be renamed as games featuring spacecraft). It's therefore trivia, of no more significance than games featuring shotguns or strip clubs, to give two examples of things whose presence in games is often noted and remarked upon but without becoming a notable topic. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:54, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unnecessary list, might as well make lists of video games featuring guns, shoes or toilets._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 02:28, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Might as well have "list of video games featuring Cell phones" or any other random object. Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:50, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unnecessary list (in my opinion). Trivial. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 22:28, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
