Trying to clean out some of these older nominations. Namcokid47 (talk) 13:08, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Sorry to say this, but I’m gonna have to fail this. The page is nowhere near good enough for GAN and is at the very least a C class article. There are a large number of issues with it: Namcokid47 (talk) 19:49, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) Almost none of the gameplay is properly sourced, which for a GA is absolutely required.
 * 2) I fail to see the point of having three different images for the different variants when they are basically the same game, as they add almost nothing to the article itself.
 * 3) The lead does not accurately sum up the article and makes almost no note on how it was played or its development cycle or even the multiple rereleases.
 * 4) Plenty of awkwardly-written sentences, mainly in the lead and reception sections. A good example is the first line in the lead as it drags on for too long.
 * 5) Lots of publishers and names lack italics.
 * 6) Lots of the references feature inconsistent date structures.
 * 7) The list for the multiple rereleases doesn’t look good and would be better off as a paragraph or two.
 * I mean, I don't really agree with quick failing the article, none of these things come off as insurmountable issues, and I question whether some are issues at all.


 * 1) From my experience, the game itself serves as the source of information. Otherwise, the manual can be the citation.
 * 2) Easily addressed, though the images are all free use (down there anyway).
 * 3) Lead could be easily filled, and the details can be added in minutes.
 * 4) Awkward sentences can be fixed fairly quickly, especially for such a short article.
 * 5) Fixed in minutes.
 * 6) Fixed in minutes.
 * 7) Can be easily adjusted.

I feel that a quick fail isn't justified by how small and easily addressed the issues are. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 20:13, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

I've since definitely addressed all issues except for two, though subjectively, I think that awkward sentences have been addressed. Gameplay I just need to cite and then all issues will have been addressed. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 20:54, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
