Trish?
Should this article mention the fact that Trish is an unlockable character? -Sherwood-Nightshade 02:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Work needed
Hi everyone - Work needs to be completed to bring this article back to FA status or a FAR may result. Please see the comments at Featured article review/Devil May Cry 2/archive1 for a starting place. That review is currently on hold, but will proceed if no action is taken in the next week or so on the article. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Copied from Featured article review/Devil May Cry 2/archive1; comments can be made below if needed:


 * Comprehensiveness issues
 * Article fails 1(b) (comprehensiveness). This is an article on a highly-publicized 2003 video game. With the Internet plus print sources. There is currently nothing from any print sources (i.e. PlayStation Magazine, Game Informer, Electronic Gaming Monthly, GamePro, and so on), in which there would definitely have been. A video game article like this should certainly have much more than 11KB of readable prose.


 * WP:NFCC issues
 * Article fails FA criterion 3
 * All images currently fail WP:NFCC; that is, none of the fair-use rationales clearly spell out how they increase readers' understanding of the article as opposed to the prose alone; merely saying that the images are "informative" is not enough.
 * To say the least, having both File:Dmc2dantesword.jpg and File:Dmc2dantedt.jpg are not necessary; one of them needs to go, as they are both gameplay images which are showing the exact same thing.
 * On the same reasoning as above, having two pictures of Dante and Lucia (File:Dante & Lucia.JPG and File:Dmc2diesel.jpg) are likewise not necessary, and one of them needs to go.


 * Verifability issues
 * Article fails 1(c) (well-researched and verifiable). There are large portions of unverified content all over the article. Citation formatting is very inconsistent.


 * Prose
 * I would (though weakly) claim that this fails 1(a) (well-written); I can't put a finger on it, but the prose leaves a little more to be determined. Perhaps it's because I was looking for full, complete paragraphs (such as like in the Plot section, which I think is one of the decently-written sections here).

For the reasons stated above, I feel this article does not currently meet the standards for Featured Articles at this time. –MuZemike 23:48, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Dropped the duplicated images, done a brief copy edit. The article does have a little from print sources, EGM, Official PSM, and Play. Geoff B (talk) 00:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure File:Dmc2diesel.jpg is needed either, given that there are possible options for free alteratives (not showing the VG characters, of course.) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 13:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * If additional sources become necessary, the online print archive contains numerous reviews for this game. They are from the following sources:
 * Electronic Gaming Monthly
 * Game Informer
 * GameNOW
 * GMR
 * Official PlayStation Magazine U.S.
 * Play Magazine
 * PSM2
 * Hope they're useful. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 04:20, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
