Solid Snake[edit]

This one was recently rewritten from an in-universe bio, and brought into line with WP:WAF, it was failed on GA but improved in response to the problems outlined there, and a massive kerfluffle over the infobox has finally been resolved, after some outside input.

What needs to be done next? Any problems with the prose, sourcing problems, or comprehensiveness problems? I think this one could be a FA without too much more work. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:44, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The claim that the character looks like Mel Gibson at one stage is not supported by a reference and seems original research. I would say the picture resembles Gibson as much as Harrison Ford or Kurt Russell, and thus is a mute point - it may just be that this was the popular male stereotype in the day, and the similarity appears only in retrospective. I'm uncomfortable with the statement remaining in the article without a good source. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 11:00, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure this one is a bland observation thing; many of the Snake images were homages to or ripoffs of action movie scenes and characters. See a comparison pic in Metal Gear (video game). I'll see about scrounging more sources, though. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 20:07, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I rewatched MG Saga and the Mel Gibson thing is mentioned there, so I've sourced that to Saga. The Biehn thing I know I've read off WP so I'm still looking, but I've axed the claim that the Snake design in Snake's Revenge resembles Ahnold. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 22:21, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added the Michael Biehn comparison photo; is that sufficient? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 07:36, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
