This list has multiple citation-needed tags, a table that doesn't adhere to WP:Sorting nor is it updated per MOS:ACCESS, it also doesn't even adhere to the basic rules of MOS:ITALICTITLE that albums are italicized. Also largely based on a book source and many "refs" are just urls. It clearly no longer deserves the star. – zmbro (talk) 02:53, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove. This list has slipped very low since it was featured. A bunch of changes have been made, especially using false Halstead references with impossible page numbers, which I have removed. Other poor quality changes include violations of WP:NOR such as unreferenced assertions about songs being leaked to the internet. The list is in terrible shape. Binksternet (talk) 03:40, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Delist - Lots of other strange things going on. Like "Name of this song was mentioned in 1993 Mexico deposition"... what is the Mexico deposition? Where is the missing "the"? In addition to citation issues and sorting issues and unaddressed tags. Mattximus (talk) 10:04, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep the issues related above are trivial (I fixed one of them) and access could be solved in no time. Likewise, taking italics off text is trivial. Most of this could be fixed in a jiffy in someone who cared about it just got on with it. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 16:23, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - not seeing any significant issues -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:27, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: List has been improved.Not seeing any major problems.- Akhiljaxxn (talk) 06:15, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Notified: Tezero, WikiProject Video games
Reading through this I notice a glaring number of errors that featured lists pages do not, and should not, have. These being the following:
- GameFAQs is used a multitude of times throughout the article, which is not considered a reliable source per these discussions
- Infobox should list all companies that developed Digimon games, yet it only lists Dimps and Namco Bandai
- Several links are not archived
- Several links are missing dates, authors or publishers, sometimes all of these
- Lead is not written that well and is a bit hard to read. Examples being: "Digimon is a series of role-playing video games and other genres (such as fighting, action and card battling)", "The series started in 1999 (in the West) with the game Digimon World for the PlayStation, but released in 1998, there was a Japan-exclusive...", etc.
Article does not seem up to snuff with the Featured List criteria, and as such I vote to have it demoted. Namcokid47 (talk) 00:50, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Hey it does not look like you informed the original nominator and WikiProjects about this. GamerPro64 14:28, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose This is just something that you can fix yourself. If you see something you don't like, just be bold and make those improvements yourself. Personally, I am not a huge Digimon fan, so I would have little knowledge of how to fix the lead and make it better. According to your name and user page, you are a big Namco fan, so this seems like something you could do better research on than me.

- KingSkyLord see below, I don't think your assertion is actually as realistically implemented as you believe. Would you revisit this please? The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 22:35, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keepa few dubious sources need to be replaced, but otherwise it's okay. A pity the nominator couldn't fix said issues rather than attempt a delisting here. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 16:19, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- But that's the thing, before nominating this for a delist I spent a long while combing through Google and the Internet Archive to find info on these, and turned up with nothing. Namcokid47 (Contribs) 20:45, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Well in that case I'll move to support delisting. Thanks for your efforts to try to resolve this. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 22:35, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Per Namcokid47. The sourcing of it no longer matches up with Wikipedia standards.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:08, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
