Key word here as to why it should stay and not be cut is "unofficial".

I believe that, as a general rule of thumb, if a game requires intervention from modders to not be terrible, it has a place on this page. The devs should know better before releasing such an unfinished product.
The Flintstones: Big Trouble in Bedrock: I've already added it under The Problem with Licensed Games, and there are many, many flaws in the game... 1. A bad plot that not even Bill and Joe would accept, where Dr. Sinister kidnaps Barney for some reason that goes unexplained. 2. Terrible controls for Fred, made worse through the labyrinthine stages he must traverse. 3. An annoying soundtrack, with the same piece for the three stages in each of the four "worlds" and a complete absence of the theme song – the only music in Grandslam's game from the late 1980's, although that game could allow you to turn the music off to avoid rending your hair out. 4. Awful graphics, childish and taken almost straight from the cartoon itself. 5. Wilma and Dino serve as spectators rather than helping Fred, which is what Gazoo does. Betty, the kids, Mr. Slate – they're all absent in this one, although Arnold is a recurring enemy who throws newspapers at Fred. 6. Worst of all, the game offers no save option, so you must complete this mess in one sitting.
If Bubsy 3D got So Okay, It's Average reviews upon release, doesn't that disqualify it?

Wait, Resident Evil Survivor, a So Bad It's Horrible?
Sure, the game's not a masterpiece, but I have played it myself. At worst, it's just mediocre and at best, it's a weird and short experimentation that is more fun with the Japanese and European versions due to being able to actually shoot. Also, I think the description for why it's here feels too harsh for a PS 1 game of its time.
I think it should be cut.

You can bring it up to the "Is This An Example?" thread in the forums.

Queen of the Snakes
Anybody else think Limbo of the Lost belongs here? Or has it been discussed before and considered not Horrible?
Ryoko.

I don't think Chef's Luv Shack belongs here. The entry doesn't do a very good job of conveying why it's horrible other than "the questions make no sense" and the minigames are "terrible versions" of other games without going in-depth as to why. Having played it myself, I can vouch that it's at the very least functional. It's still a mediocre-at-best licensed party game, but not a horrible trainwreck (even though that's just my opinion). If nothing else the entry should be improved.
One cleanup thread later... Hide / Show Replies
It's been discussed in the cleanup thread a couple times, and general reception is it should be cut.

Would Batman Dark Tomorrow for the Gamecube and Xbox count? It got lots of negative reviews and the only thing that was praised was its accuracy to the comics. The game itself reeks of The Problem with Licensed Games and had an internet review recently. It was panned for repetitive buggy gameplay and Camera Screw along with okay graphics and Guide Dang It! moment regarding the ending. All the bosses are an Anti-Climax Boss except the Final Boss. It's considered better than the Batman and Robin game but possibly worse than Batman Forever for the SNES and Genesis.
Here's the review

Its Wikipedia article that lists its abysmal reception.

Potential Candidate-
Titenic: A bootleg adaption of James Cameron's film (with the title thought to be misspelled intentionally to get around copyright), the entire story of the movie is in badly translated text cutscenes, while the actual gameplay is a fairly generic side-scrolling beat-'em-up/platformer where Jack and Rose display far more ninja skills then they had in the movie in order to defeat random animals and inexplicably hostile crew members.

"Fairly generic" would normally indicate So Okay, It's Average, rather than So Bad, It's Horrible.
JonTron seemed to enjoy Titenic. The other Famicom Titanic game he played in this video might qualify, though.
Potential Candidate (Once I can find an actual review; it's fairly obscure)
Arabian Nights (2001):
The game promises to be an epic story in the vein of The Prince of Persia and the original stories of Scheherazade. What it actually delivers is a horribly broken game that you practically need to glitch through in order to pass, a nonsensical story that involves you marrying five princesses in one day (just after you meet them, no less), and a look at Arabian culture fresh from the developers' hazy memories of Disney's Aladdin. All women wear little more than scraps of cloth, and one of the princesses you need to rescue (called Melissa, because that's such an Arabian name) is visibly Nipple and Dimed.
Daikatana doesn't belong here. The game is now considered to be decent or even good after the unofficial 1.3 patch, with a lot of enjoyable gameplay that has been fixed by fans. Also, the game is quite popular in the Philippines even to this day, to the point that it's still one of the most widely-pirated games in the Philippines to this day despite launching over two decades ago.
