Klefki is a popular choice for competitive battling. I think this deserves a mention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.17.12.2 (talk) 15:44, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Find a reliable source stating that and feel free to add it :) ~Maplestrip (chat) 14:47, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@NegativeMP1 just checking in. When would you be able to review the article? Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 17:40, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot that I took up this review, to be honest. I'll try to review it at some point, but this review is going to have to be done on mobile while I'm out of state. Please be patient with the rate I post comments when I do get to it. λ NegativeMP1 21:00, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Review[edit]

Prose[edit]

First line should use Template:nihongo instead of "Known in Japan as"
"Designed by Ken Sugimori and first introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Klefki is a steel and fairy Pokémon that is known for constantly collecting keys. It was designed by Pokémon graphic designer Mana Ibe and was inspired by old mansions and secret keys." There's two different "Designed by"'s here, who actually made it? Were there two designers? Also there shouldn't be a period after X and Y.
"It also became a powerful Pokémon in competitive play, being a highly effective Pokémon in Pokémon X and Y's competitive scene." → "It was also a popular Pokémon in the competitive scene for Pokémon X and Y."
"design mansions" What?
"several worlds and realms." Don't think mentioning both is necessary since they mean the same thing.
Group up the citations at the end of "characterizing the design as uninspired, insipid, strange, and an example of Game Freak's "creative bankruptcy"" into a note that starts with the text "Attributed to multiple sources:"
"Other critics were more positive, with Chris Plante of Polygon, Tyler Treese of GameRevolution, and Kyle Hilliard of Game Informer regarding it as one of their favorite Pokémon." Is there any extended commentary as to why it was one of their favorites? These cited articles are borderline trivial mentions from what I see.

Sources[edit]

Several sources are missing authors, website names, or wikilinking website names. I'd go through and make these sources properly formatted.
Spotchecks:
- Reference 7 passed verification in the areas I checked.
- Reference 19 isn't really reception, more like a trivial mention, but I guess it kinda verifies what its cited to.
- Reference 33 does not say that Klefki was the authors favorite Pokemon, but rather ambiguously says "I openly admit that if this list were ordered by preference, Klefki would be on top" on a list of the "weirdest Pokemon", not every Pokemon.
Overall, this article sourcing isn't very high quality, mostly being listicles. It isn't enough to where I'd quickfail it, and I'm certain that this is a marginally notable character, but please be aware that others may have problems with it and that if it were brought to FAC this article would probably fail immediately.

Final comments[edit]

I'm going to be brutally honest, this article is rough. It's not enough to where I'd quickfail it, but it has issues in every area. I will give some time for these issues to be addressed, and afterwards I'll make a second judgement and probably more source analysis. λ NegativeMP1 05:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
