Only the first game and the franchise go by the name of just simply "Plants vs. Zombies" meaning that this disambiguation page is absolutely not needed. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 00:21, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete The article doesn't disambiguate anything, Zxcvbnm's statement is right, and Sergecross is also right. MK at your service. 12:48, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Article just has the list of Plants vs Zombies games on it and nothing else and it seems unlikely anything else would be called "Plants vs Zombies". Knockknock987 (talk) 15:15, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
* Speedy Keep Sources were easy to find that call the games Plants vs. Zombies 2 etc. Dr vulpes (Talk) 00:57, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

'Plants Vs. Zombies 2' "Plants vs. Zombies 2" (iPhone; Free; Rated 9 ) is a little more graceful about the way it goes about the free-to-play business model, as it rarely feels as though paying is a requirement to enjoying the game. While it is frustrating that, after finishing one world, you have to either pay money or collect stars by replaying levels, collecting stars never really feels like that much of a chore. This is largely in part to another challenge system. Rather than simply doing what you've already done, you get variations on the levels with new requirements. It's a good thing they took the approach of offering variations on the levels, too, because the core play style of "Plants Vs. Zombies 2".

- What does that have to do with the disambiguation page? No one is suggesting we delete Plants vs. Zombies 2 page itself... Sergecross73 msg me 01:52, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oops I thought they were talking about the game titles having more content in them then just Plants vs Zombies. Guess I misread that one! Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:13, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- No worries, kind of figured it was something like that. Sergecross73 msg me 03:47, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

- Yes, but those games are not called Plants Vs. Zombies. QuicoleJR (talk) 02:06, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Not actually a disambiguation page, and this series is too small to need a list. QuicoleJR (talk) 02:08, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- generally speaking, pages in a disambiguation page generally must only include entities that go by the exact same name. Say for example, Mega Man (disambiguation) only includes entities titled "Mega Man" as opposed to including entities without the exact common name such as Mega Man II or Mega Man X. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 02:27, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, and this series only has two, the series and the first game, so this page should be deleted. QuicoleJR (talk) 09:38, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete Nothing to disambiguate and has no content not already in Plants vs. Zombies. cyberdog958Talk 05:56, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Plants vs. Zombies already exists, which lists all PvZ games. There is no reason to disambiguate the topic. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 10:02, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete A DAB page is not a search index. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:03, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Agree per above. No one refers to Plants vs Zombies 2 as simply Plants vs Zombies. This is an example of WP:ONEOTHER even though a few more items are listed JuniperChill (talk) 11:19, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: WP:REDUNFORK of Plants vs. Zombies Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 11:32, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - appears to have been created by a newer editor who probably doesn't understand the purpose for r concept of a dab page, because this doesn't serve one. Sergecross73 msg me 12:35, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Marked page for a speedy per WP:AVALANCHE. TheWikiToby (talk) 02:03, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- That's not a WP:CSD. We really just need someone to close this discussion, which we're due for as we're already past the standard 7 day listing. Sergecross73 msg me 12:43, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- This page was listed on the 4th so its hasn't even been 7 days yet. However, I wouldve expected to be closed as delete due to WP:SNOW now. JuniperChill (talk) 12:48, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Whoops, thought I saw a "Sept 1" up there. But yes, while a speedy delete doesn't make sense, a snow delete does any time now. Sergecross73 msg me 13:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- I have seen Speedy Keeps and there is a policy page on it at Wikipedia:Speedy keep. But there is no similar policy on Speedy Deletes and I rarely see them happen here unless it is a SNOW close, not a Speedy Delete. Liz Read! Talk! 04:38, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
