XCOM: Enemy Unknown

 * • [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Good_article_reassessment/XCOM:_Enemy_Unknown/1&action=watch Watch article reassessment page] • Most recent review
 * (non-admin closure) Result: Delisted. A lack of response (as well as lack of article improvement) meant that essentially no-one was interested in improving the article, so this GA review attracted little-to-no attention; a new revamp from an experienced user is a recommended action to the article.

I have listed the article for GAR because I think it fails 1a and 3a. The article is extremely outdated and the entire reception section is a quote farm. While it is fine for a video game article to be promoted to GA merely months after release, Enemy Unknown happens to be an extremely influential title that has brought a new leash of life to a dying game genre. The article's current state, especially the outdated development section which does not incorporate long feature articles like these ones did it no justice. pinging, the original contributor and GA reviewer.

 * just a heads-up for the future: GARs should be located in the talk/GA space. I did the page move for you. Also SNAAAAKE!! is CBANned and Khazar2 is retired, so I wouldn't expect them to respond. JOE BRO  64  18:26, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I believe it's never a new thing for articles about recent things to be promoted to GA or FA status months after the initial release date, but that comes with the consequence of ignoring what happens afterward, the adforementioned influence. New entertainment products get released, have their Wikipedia articles go through the GAN/FAC process months later, but then hardly recieve updates. Articles about old games like JimmyBlackwing's Command & Conquer (1995 video game) do well about the several-years-long aftermath of the game, including significant influence. The UFO: Enemy Unknown article, a failed GAN from 2012, had a well-developed Legacy section for 2012, however it doesn't pay enough attention to its difficult sequel X-COM: Terror from the Deep and its quality should be upgraded too. Otherwise it's seemingly a mostly fine section, but this XCOM one lacks such a thing, and needs it badly. I'm generally not interested in newer games like XCOM: Enemy Unknown, but I'm surprised that they have significantly influenced the games we have on store shelves (and digital ones) today. I guess even people like SNAAAAKE!! turn this into a GA so soon because it's a recent item, but forget about the extreme influence afterward. If this article were not promoted to GA status until 2020, then the development and legacy sections would appear very healthy. «“ I'm Aya Syameimaru! ”I„ 文々. 新聞 “I„ ”» 01:30, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It's been less than two months since my first comment here and little was done to improve the article, we need more wiki-work force. « I ias! :,,.: usbk I » 14:21, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Now no-one's edited this article since my previous comment in this page. I ias! :,,.: yy I 01:26, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delist - Its safe to say that this article needs a revamp. Because of that it should be delisted. GamerPro64  05:52, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delist - I guess so. « I ias! :,,.: usbk I » 12:11, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I guess nobody's going to rewrite the article until maybe after I end this GA review. I ias! :,,.: yy I 04:21, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
