WP:BRD.
WP:BRD me on how Soletron is no-no. --Niemti (talk) 14:00, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of the site myself, but do we really need to document every time a random journalist finds a character sexy? Sergecross73   msg me   14:02, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Soletron, oy. --Niemti (talk) 14:12, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Right, I was already looking at that. The article says its a social networking and ecommerce website? What's your arguments as far as them being an WP:RS? Anything beyond their mission statement of serving "the freshest content in sneakerhead & streetwear fashion, hot girls..."? >_> Sergecross73   msg me   14:17, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Things lik having former Microsoft sub-boss and Adobe CEO (among other people) on advisory board, which makes them pretty serious as opposed to rather bizarrily Wikipedia-accepted "gaming media" like Rock Paper Shotgun (btw, how Wikipedia-notable is Jim Rossignol, really?). And yes, "hot girls" indeed. --Niemti (talk) 15:36, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * That's great they've got some management people on their board, but what about their writers? Or editorial staff/policies? I mean, Nintendo's got Satoru Iwata in control, but that doesn't warrant using a random Miiverse post as a source, right? Sergecross73   msg me   15:55, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Even ignoring the fact that Soletron is not a standard source for video game articles, all that the writer can say about the character is one line about how she looks. That's not helpful at all from an encyclopedic standpoint, particularly as no one else has written about the sex appeal of the character (and that would seem rather ... insensitive? given the nature of Heavy Rain). If it was a good paragraph or so that explained more about it, then perhaps maybe, but it is literally just a mention in a list without real reason, and thus inappropriate to include. That's the general trend that these "top sexiest characters" lists have - they simply list without and detail of why they were included, as previously discussed at WT:VG, and a reason to avoid their inclusion on WP. --M ASEM  (t) 14:22, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed. It seems even less relevant/helpful considering this isn't even a character article, but rather the article that overviews the entire game. (Not that it'd be great for a character article either.) Sergecross73   msg me   14:25, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Need info on the movie
This section is in dire need of updating. Kinda cute how it states it's been "fast tracked", and now it's been 4 years without any updates. Section should either be rewritten or removed as it is presently not relevant whatsoever, or new recent sources should be found. 91.100.98.27 (talk) 13:12, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Norman’s ending
There a lot of debate to which is Norman’s best ending some say it’s him saving Shaun or some say its him retiring

Anyone else have any thoughts? Bob3458 (talk) 18:45, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Hidden Table
Hiding loose urls and a table template in the article for when you later want to work on it is a retarded decision. This kind of edit belongs in a sandbox. Since reverting you again would breach the 3RR, I suggest you hurry up with finishing the table. Cognissonance (talk) 15:41, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Madison Paige into Heavy Rain
I noticed User:Kung Fu Man redirected this article, then reverted it. I disagree with it remaining standalone and believe it should stay merged for failing WP:GNG. The sources out there are very slim. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:04, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Looking on Google Scholar and Google Books, I witnessed quite a few sources that discuss her objectification and characterization in considerable detail. She's not the most independently notable character, but it seems apparent to me that she reaches the threshold. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 00:29, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose Clearly secondary coverage of her development, and while I agree the reception section needs to use better coverage, that seems to be present with additional sources mentioned by Cukie. M asem (t) 00:33, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Masem and Cukie: I figured I was missing something, and was hoping a fresh pair of eyes might've found something I missed.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:34, 27 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment Would someone care to post said detailed sources, either here or on the article's talk page? I'd be perfectly fine with withdrawing this as long as they are proven, but right now it's still unclear whether these detailed sources are reliable or not. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:52, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
