Delete as just kind of senseless; this sentiment could apply to anything, and it's not even correct (there are plenty of circumstances under which a video game cover image should be changed, e.g. because it's a non-English one and an English one is available, because it's a blurry image, and so on. This "commandment" also smacks of
WP:OWN /
WP:VESTED issues. —

- Delete 8 years ago it was a thing where there were frequent fights over which infobox image was the "correct" one, to the point where the redirect target has to say "If a suitable English-language cover art already exists on the subject page, then do not waste time replacing it with a different version.". 8 years on, it's not such a big deal, and the redirect is not terribly specific. --

Seems too overly specific and implausible as a redirect.

How in the name of all that is holy is "invincibility" only pertinent to video games? Perhaps this should be a soft Wiktionary redirect instead.

- Soft redir, per nom, in absence of a better target. This is a common enough trope/motif in fiction of various kinds that an encyclopedic article could possibly be written about it, but if it hasn't been yet, it may never be. —

Invincible (disambiguation) in 2014, so it's been at the video game glossary for a while.

- Softly redirect to Wiktionary. None of the links at
Invincible mention the nominative form of the word, so Wiktionary seems like the more logical target. —

Formerly pointed to a list of monsters. Implausible for this to redirect to a list of sentient races.

Retarget to
Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal, with {{
Redr|{{

, to match
WP:GAMEGUIDE,
WP:NOT#GAMEGUIDE, and
WP:NOTGAMEGUIDE. These are not appropriate alternative names for
MOS:VG. "WP is not a [video] game guide" is a common phrase in correcting improper writing about games here, so the proposed target is a far more plausible, thus the pre-existing shortcuts. —

No evidence of necessity of the "www." prefix. Just "

Currently a redirect to an agency. No evidence of necessity of this particular redirect, since it doesn't appear to be a common name for the organization's website.
