Restoration Project

So, I'm going through and renaming the pages that I can.  Here are the threads where most of the stuff was changed.

I may have missed some.  But I think that's the bulk of them.  So here's what you can do to help.
    

1. If you click a link to a game and the title of the page is not "Delete," that means it's (obviously) already been renamed to show up in the database.  All the text on such pages is still in tact, but many of the associations have been removed.  Feel free to add developer, franchise, concept, etc info back to these pages. 
2.   If you click a link to a game and the title of the page is still "Delete," and you feel that it should be restored, this is the thread to bring it up for discussion. 
3. If you click a link to a game and get a 500 Luchadeer page, that page was permanently deleted.  Please bring it up for discussion here before simply creating it again.

The "Around 40 More Compilations" thread was before the new rules were instated, I believe.

I took them out of the list.

Are we bringing back DLC compilations? I would say no, but I want to be sure.

I'm going to go ahead and get started with all of the Namco Museum pages.
 
Namco Museum Vol. 1 - now located here
Namco Museum Vol. 2 - needs to be recreated
Namco Museum Vol. 3 - needs to be recreated
Namco Museum Vol. 4 - needs to be recreated
Namco Museum Vol. 5 - needs to be recreated
Namco Museum Encore - needs to be recreated
Namco Museum: Battle Collection - needs to be recreated
Namco Museum - located here, needs to be renamed (should it be merged with the Game Boy Advance version? this previously had a separate page, which is now deleted)
Namco Museum: Virtual Arcade - located here, needs to be renamed
Namco Museum DS - needs to be recreated
Namco Museum 50th Anniversary - located here, needs to be renamed
Namco Museum (franchise) - located here, needs to be renamed

So are the rules completely gone or were they just modified?

Thought I'd post this here, if anyone wants to help out with all of these pages that I've found need to be recreated/renamed.

• A Collection of Classic Games from the Intellivision
• Microsoft Return of Arcade

I don't anything about it but it just looks like a pack which contains centipede and millipede without any sort of interface to link the two games. As Jeff said:

" Actual compilations have always been welcome in our system, and this is something we've addressed in the past. The things we don't want are the bargain bin bundle packs like the "Desert Strike and Jungle Strike" game page in that list above. I'm sorry if this hasn't been clear in the past, but as I said, we've answered this specific question before.  
 
Ask yourself questions like "would this product be covered in an editorial capacity?" or "is this an object that someone would add to a collection list, or would they add the individual games found in the compilation?" when dealing with things like this. It's usually fairly obvious which ones stay and which ones go. Anything that involves three DVD cases wrapped in a crappy cardboard sleeve is going to get deleted. "

Did  Centipede and Millipede have separate game boy releases?

  If you're saying the compilation does in fact have some sort feature which differentiates it from being a bundle then I'll restore the page. "
