A list of video games that a company gave away for free at some point. Fails WP:NOTDIR, WP:N. While the Origin (digital distribution software) is notable, I fail to see how a list of freebies it once offered is. Sandstein 11:41, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect – To Origin. Agree, do not need a separate list. However, fits nicely within the article Origin. ShoesssS ^Talk 12:10, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NOTDIR and would take up too much space if merged to the main Origin article._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 18:22, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think this particular article is useful for users of Origin but doesn't fulfill notability because it is just a list of a particular class of freely given-away games from a particular brand, and therefore should either be deleted or changed. I think it can be merged into the Origin article or alternatively it can perhaps broadened into something like 'list of games given away for free by major gaming companies' that includes all similar promotions over the years.

Delete The content is unencyclopedic; there's no real need for a redirect. Mackensen (talk) 11:19, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
