I feel - of course, I would - this reversion is not an improvement. Of course, the vast majority of disambiguation pages are in the one item, one line format, but the vast majority don't deal with things which are subsets of the other things. The practical effect of the reversion is to make it, once again, unclear why the 1989 and 2013 installments merit inclusion and the others don't.

It is not necessary to make every disambiguation page look exactly the same. Pinkbeast (talk) 19:48, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

It's likely due to the fact that the two games and the series are the only entities in the series to simply be called SimCity. On a similar note, the Contra dab page only lists the first game and the series, not not all the sequels simply because Contra is in the title,--65.94.252.196 (talk) 23:17, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

I am aware of that, as would be entirely obvious if you had read either my proposed revision or the rationale for it above. Sheesh. Pinkbeast (talk) 18:11, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

• The purpose behind disambiguation pages is to disambiguate all possible articles that may be specifically referred by the title of the disambiguation page. In this case, it would be the gaming series, two of the games in the aforementioned gaming series that have eponymous titles as the series (letter for letter), and the album (which is also listed here since the phrase "Sim City", with a space, usually refers to the gaming series as well.) And actually, about making all of the disambiguation pages look the same, if it is possible, it is preferred. Steel1943 (talk) 23:23, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm tempted to appeal to the invocation of IAR at the end, but instead I shall see what can be done within the existing form. Pinkbeast (talk) 14:51, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

I don't see how IAR applies here since I don't see how this is any different thab the already mentioned Contra example etc.--67.68.163.197 (talk) 05:52, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
