Key visual novels[edit]

Main page	Articles
Key (company)	Kanon - Air (visual novel) - Clannad (visual novel) - Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume - Tomoyo After: It's a Wonderful Life - Little Busters! - Rewrite (visual novel)

I am nominating this for a Good Topic as all of the articles are GA, except for the last one which underwent a peer review, and since the article is so short, I believe the quality concerns for Rewrite (visual novel) have been met per the criteria. The related category Category:Key games holds the seven game articles, and the Good Topic title is taken from this category. ~~Unfortunately, a free-use image for use in the topic box (pending it's approval) is unavailable.~~--十八 05:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - though maybe the topic should be called "Key visual novels" instead of "Key games"? The precedent set by the videogames topics is to use "titles" but I think this would be inappropriate here as Key has also made non-visual novel titles such as the animation, which are not included here - rst20xx (talk) 19:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, Key has participated in overseeing the animation and other adaptations of their titles, but if we're talking about products produced, then "Key titles" would work just as fine.--十八 03:16, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I see what you're saying, but I still think "Key titles" implies somewhat that the anime should maybe be included too. "Key visual novels" has no such problem - rst20xx (talk) 14:01, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, that sounds good then.--十八 19:08, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'll change it then - rst20xx (talk) 00:51, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support — great work on all of these visual novel articles. Keep it up. sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 21:47, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support - No reason to keep it from being a good topic when all of the articles excluding Rewrite is a good article, though I'd suggest something else other than "Key games" be used instead. -- クラウド６６８ 08:07, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment please change the name of the topic to something less confusing, say "Games released by Key". Nergaal (talk) 20:12, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Question I am totally confused, the topic is called Key games, which sounds like POV to begin with, then the lead article is about a company, that according to its first sentence makes visual novels. Are they visual novels or games? Second the main artilce talks about a lot of things that have nothing to do with the other artilces. Why is this topic compleate? Z gin der 2008-09-22T20:48Z (UTC)

A visual novel is a type of game. Reading the visual novel article might help :p sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 21:11, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
While the main article also includes things like Key Sounds Label and Key Radio, it also covers all the pertinent information on the visual novels Key produces. The criteria states at point 2: The topic has an introductory and summary lead article or list which is exactly what Key (company) does.--十八 03:11, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. While I'm a big proponent of having the lead article and the topic title being the same, this is a good example of where a topic works where the lead article and title of the topic are different. Rreagan007 (talk) 21:22, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Had some concerns earlier about the topic title, but they've already been addressed. --erachima talk 03:10, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support I do not like the lead, but can live with it. Z gin der 2008-10-02T16:00Z (UTC)
Close with consensus to promote - rst20xx (talk) 22:04, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
