233:, in the idea that because this series pages is pretty poor, maybe we could just make a list of games to accompany the individual game articles in the template. The problem with the series article is the guide content and the lack of referencing. Ill support a deletion of this series article if no one is going to go after the individual game articles and delete them to. If the series article does go then i will complete the list ive started.

Success =/= a reason to have a series article. If it doesn't need an article, which the current contents do not establish this, then there should not be a series article. There is this misguided notion that series articles are needed if a series is successful enough or has enough games. -
425:
a reason for deletion. That's what tags are for. The article actually has a pretty good amount of information... I mean, it's series spanning a decade with hundreds of thousands of google hits and hundreds of articles (each) on major gaming websites.
472:. I don't see any valid reason for deletion; the series is notable, having recieved plenty of media coverage. In any case, the issue here is cleaning up the article and possibly merging the other articles into this one,
162:
446:
but cleanout the cruft. This is a good place to discuss mention of the Army Men series, and the broader topic is much more notable than the individual sections which are within it. Also, per Nifboy.
123:
156:
383:
Conversely, I don't see a need to have an article on many individual games, even if they each have sources, if a series article would suffice (which IMO is the case here).
273:: as bad as the article is, it beats having an article on every single entry in the series, some/most of which could stand to be merged here: Note the red links in
252:
339:
Discuss things on the talk page, don't waste our time here. Some of the games sold well, got plenty of coverage, and thus this is clearly a notable series.
375:
200:
301:
Addendum: It's pretty trivial to find, within reviews of its component games, sources that indicate the series as a whole has a terrible reputation:

91:

I've added the rescue tag - such a long running series deserves an over-arching article, but it could do with some tidying up and sources.
