genre stubs
Over the past few months I solicited a lot of feedback from the video game wikiproject, and there was a lot of support for various merges of genre articles. At wikipedia, I think a lot of people are tempted to create a huge page for every term or variation they think of. But we usually end up with a bunch of stubs. I can't remember where I pulled the information from, but the turn-based tactics article has improved just by merging otherwise good information from other badly categorized articles.

Space trading games
If you're expanding the "space trade and combat simulator" section of the space combat simulator article to build a case for a split, I just wanted to let you know that I think that's a good idea. There's a tricky discussion going on at Talk:List of space flight simulator games. Part of the problem is that some of these games are space flight simulators (like Elite), and some just aren't (like Space Rangers or TradeWars). I'm curious as to your thoughts. I know that the research out there uses a lot of different names to describe this genre. But for the sake of clarity and avoiding confusion, I think a split to "space trading game" would avoid the most mis-categorization problems. There's a decent amount of research to support that as the name of the genre, even if there are more popular names. And even though we'd choose the name of the article for clarity's sake, we could still document the alternative names in its own section (similar to Iran naming dispute).
