can we work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1WSYdn1b8I into this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.230.44 (talk) 22:32, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia doesn't accept YouTube videos as reliable sources as they aren't really "articles" and they can always be removed from the site at any point. Although the video itself is pretty neat, never did really know how all the components worked. Namcokid47 (talk) 22:49, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: withdrawn. Turns out F-1 (arcade game) isn't a video game. I gots some reverting to do... Steel1943 (talk) 00:02, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

– I do not believe that the dash in the first title is enough to distinguish the two titles. For this reason, the articles should be moved to the following titles per the next step in WP:NCVGDAB and the leftover redirects (the articles' current titles) should both target F1 (disambiguation)#Video games as {{R from incomplete disambiguation}}s.

Oppose. It makes no sense to call this a video game because it doesn't use any video elements, rather it has electro-mechanical parts. Not only that but I'm confused as to why you even decided to rename it to "(video game)" in the first place, as simply just skimming the article shows it's not a video game. This merge proposal is pointless. Namcokid 47 ^(Contribs) 19:53, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Namcokid47: Regarding "...I'm confused as to why you even decided to rename it to "(video game)" in the first place...", as mentioned on my talk page, see WP:NCVGDAB. The aforementioned guideline is rather clear that "(video game)" should be used in disambiguators and that the use of "(arcade game)" in disambiguators should be avoided.
