Maze game or not
[edit]Dgpop, I had reverted your edits regarding the Routledge source. Can you explain why did you remove it, per WP:BURDEN? If there is an WP:RS describing this game as a "maze game", then we include it. And unless you have a problem with the source, you should head over to the WP:RSN. --► Sincerely: Solavirum 17:46, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- It seems like there is a dispute regarding this between you and Maestro2016, considering the history of the article. The "maze game" should be removed from infobox per IceWelder's words here, but I don't see a reason to remove the Routledge ref on the article's body about some referring to it as a "maze game". --► Sincerely: Solavirum 17:53, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- From what I understand, "maze game" is an old-timey description for any game set in a maze, just like "Doom clone" was the description for most early first-person shooters. One (1) reliable source using this terminology does not force us into using it as well. I personally feel like saying "It is set in a maze ... it is a maze game" is somewhat redundant.

- It's clearly not a maze game in the sense of what's on the List of maze video games. If Castle Wolfenstein is a maze game, then so are almost all flip-screen exploration games. Citing one person who called it a maze game is misleading to the reader. Dgpop (talk) 18:53, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Since I'm reviewing the article, I'm going to agree with Dgpop and IceWelder that only one source saying it's a maze game is not enough for classification. If another reliable source calls it a maze game, it can be added to the infobox instead of the gameplay section. For now, it's best for it to be removed until then.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 20:40, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
Castle Smurfenstein?
[edit]This redirects here but it isn't mentioned anywhere in the article. What is it? Should be redlinked if there's nothing to put here. 2601:602:880:9A40:1878:948D:1FD9:CE6C (talk) 11:48, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
