Potential sources[edit]

Here, I noticed the notability tag on the article, and maybe they'll be useful expanding the article besides. So here's all the stuff I could find on the character.

General guides and stuff

Plus some stuff already in the article. I'll leave it up to your judgement whether these are enough to pass WP:GNG; I should note with a lot of the guide stuff that most of the Overwatch heroes got them, so not all sources are created equal there. – The Millionth One (talk) (contribs) 11:57, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stumbled upon this article, a big love letter from Eurogamer to Mercy – "gaming's greatest healer". Also probably worth using. With it and a bit of time to reflect, I'm left fairly firm in the camp that Mercy is notable: that she has received coverage that is significant, and as a bonus that she'll in all likelihood continue to receive attention for the immediate future. Since the article's already been updated with a lot of the sources, I'll remove the notability tag in a bit if no one objects. – The Millionth One (talk) (contribs) 04:42, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'll try and get round to this by this time next week. If I haven't ping me. --ProtoDrake (talk) 18:12, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Soulbust: Hi. I've looked through the article, and I can't see anything that particularly holds it back. I would advise as a matter of course to archive all links where possible. Otherwise, I think I'd call this a Pass. --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:51, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by Soulbust (talk). Self-nominated at 12:50, 12 September 2022 (UTC).[reply]

  • Substantial article, meeting of GA criteria implicates DYK pass. Article was nominated within seven days of passing GAR. QPQ has been completed. Image is properly licensed, appears in article, and show ups well enough at small size. Earwigs is pinging copyvio because the text of the article has been copy+pasted onto some spam site, but article looks fine from a compliance standpoint. I think the proposed hooks need some tweaking; "pink skin" in ALT0 needs to be rephrased or further elaborated, as this is not a term that is known to a general audience. "This thing is popular" in ALT1 is non-specific and not especially interesting, while ALT2 feels like it just barely scrapes C6 as being fundamentally about the character's in-universe representation. If you're looking for additional hooks, one concerning a search for a Swiss-German actor resulting in the casting of a German-American actor might be interesting.

@Morgan695: for ALT0, would it be better to word it as "a pink skin, or in-game costume..."? Soulbust (talk) 03:42, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Soulbust: I think just linking to skin would be sufficient. Morgan695 (talk) 15:32, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Morgan695: Alrighty, I added the wikilink to skin on ALT0. I'll work on making ALT1 a little more interesting as I think the image would be nice to use on the DYK section. Soulbust (talk) 04:34, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Alrighty, I tweaked ALT1 now. Soulbust (talk) 05:02, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Approving for a slightly tweaked ALT0. ALT1 is still essentially just "people liked this thing", which isn't a compelling hook. Morgan695 (talk) 00:12, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
