Sourcing issues
Hi, I was looking through current video game GANs, and noticed that this article cites two unreliable sources that need to be replaced: although GiantBomb itself is an RS, their database is user-edited; and similarly, Models Resource is a fan-run site hosting user-submitted art asset rips. Just wanted to notify you so you have time to resolve this and aren't hit with a seven-day deadline when someone decides to take up the GA review.--AlexandraIDV 06:41, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Scott the Woz
Scott the Woz is not a notable subject for this article. It's not just a lack of citation. There is a notice at the top of the page in edit mode that specifically states to not mention Scott the Woz. It stating "Any reference to Scott The Woz will be removed, as he's a non-notable YouTuber." There is nothing against the guy, this is just enforced because this article has been vandalised many times in the past and is the reason why it is semi-protected.

 * Edit: Correction on the post above. I would like to clarify that the subject of Scott the Woz is in its own right notable per its article. I was more trying to state that Scott the Woz is not deemed a reliable source per WP:VG/S, which I did not make clear. I was mainly quoting the status in edit mode, a remnant from when this page was semi-protected. Apologises for any misunderstandings I may have caused. Captain  Galaxy  22:20, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
 * fair tbh. ill go talk about scott somewhere else Pravall (talk) 23:40, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That's fine...as long as it's not on Wikipedia. What Captain Galaxy is saying would apply to any article, not just here. Sergecross73   msg me  17:07, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I think I would personally argue that the game has received somewhat widespread popularity as a direct result of it being a running joke in the Scott The Woz series, and has achieved a sort of meme status, I don't think Scott The Woz is entirely un-notable in relation to this game.
 * Days Of Our Lives was a show mentioned repeatedly in Friends, and as a result, Friends is mentioned on the Days Of Our Lives Wikipedia page, I think that this situation is quite similar imo.
 * Tbh I'm not incredibly invested in the idea that Scott HAS to be mentioned here, but I think I mainly just disagree that he's not notable in relation to the game and/or that he should be essentially banned from being mentioned on the page. Johnmichaelsonreal (talk) 10:38, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, if a reliable source reported on Scott the Woz having some sort of noteworthy impact like that on the game, it could be worth a mention. But if it's just your own personal theory, then no, it doesn't belong in the article. Sergecross73   msg me  02:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * your missing the point dude. the only source thats going to call scott notable will be an opinion piece.
 * notability shouldnt be a requirement, it should be an added bonus. Pravall (talk) 17:30, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It would appear you're missing the point, as "notability" or "sources being opinion pieces" is not the issue here.
 * The problem is that, according to the Wikipedia definition, Scott the Woz is not not a usable/reliable source. Wikipedia uses sources from professional publications. Websites like IGN, Eurogamer, GameSpot, etc. The type that have credentialed writers and editorial staff and policies. Generally, Youtubers like Scott don't count, because they're just people just self-publishing their Youtube videos straight to WP:YOUTUBE.
 * So, unless you or someone is able to persuade WP:VG/S or WP:RSN into a WP:CONSENSUS that Scott the Woz is a reliable source (unlikely) or IGN or some website writes a story about how Scott the Woz influenced Chibi Robo (unlikely), Scot the Woz should not be mentioned in the article.

 * I know one other Wiki page that had the vandalism issue due to a internet video, and all of you will probably know what I'm talking about as that had been semi-protected as well. Chaster215 (talk) 00:48, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
