Article topic is not the subject of sourced commentary separate and distinct from EGM itself. The topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) Restoring the redirect to Electronic Gaming Monthly is an option. czar 17:50, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

• Redirect Per nom. Collection of trivia without in-depth coverage. -- ferret (talk) 18:19, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
• Redirect/ Merge - (Very selectively.) Some of them, like the "Sonic is Smash Bros Melee", received some attention, so it's probably worth an "April Fools" section in the EGM article, but not as a standalone article or in this level of detail, as most of them are relatively non-notable...

• Selective Merge to Electronic Gaming Monthly per WP:PRESERVE. The main article has no mention of this information other than the See also link I just added. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 18:34, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
• Redirect and possible merge into Electronic Gaming Monthly. Anarchyte (work | talk) 11:04, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
• Merge, selectively. It is something the EGM has been known for, and therefore is something the article on the magazine should mention, but it's not independently notable. That said, the main article doesn't need a list of all the jokes, either. So make the merge selective. oknazevad (talk) 19:43, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
• Merge to Electronic Gaming Monthly, although only a few of the more infamous examples are needed, such as Sonic in Smash Bros. Melee and Sheng Long. ZettaComposer (talk) 20:14, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
