How about this as a simple definition: Some sort of statistics that account for skills or aspects of a character, and some method of increasing and strengthening those statistics.

Fairly straightforward and covers things pretty well right? That would mean I would add Monster Hunter, Steambot Chronicles, and Folklore.

Also MLB Power Pros and MLB Power Pros 2008 under that definition.

Of course it fit the definition of RPG before as well.... unless you include that it NEEDS fighting or something.

The game reminds me of Sports Night. Truley brilliant but unpopular because most of the target audience won't pay any attention because it has a sports theme... and the people buying it for the sports them mostly won't get the RPG modes.

 

So then NHL 09 is a WRPG?  No, it's not.  Let's use at least a little common sense here.
