 * Symbol question.svg New (7th), long enough, neutral, no copyvio found via spot check (though the article does have excessive quoting and needs more paraphrase), QPQ needed as a significant contributor to the article (complete restructure/rewrite) with five+ previous noms. Struck the second hook, which comes from a quoted allusion and not a statement. Also striking ALT2 as not confirmed within the source text (should be noted if it's hidden somewhere in the promo videos). MAIN preferred over ALT3. Please ping me if I don't respond. czar ⨹   18:54, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Changes made. ViperSnake151   Talk  23:00, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * , (ping was mainly for the QPQ, but) re: "was stated as being intended to portray diverse"—where was that in the source? czar ⨹   00:49, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Fixed again. Also, the wording of the QPQ rule does not imply this. Its use of "expanded" refers to 5x expansion scenarios, and this article was not created by me. ViperSnake151   Talk  03:47, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg You had at least one substantial cleanup edit, but I'll leave the call on the QPQ requirement to the closer. I don't think it's a big deal and this nom was clearly intended as a non-self-nom czar ⨹   04:11, 8 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg I've credited ViperSnake151 because the article did resemble a press release prior to their expansion. That said a QPQ is required to finish up since more than five noms have been made. Fuebaey (talk) 21:35, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ done, gtg. I'd keep QPQ page on your watchlist as closers usually ask for specific mention of which criteria the nom meets, especially vis-à-vis close paraphrasing checks. czar ⨹   10:11, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
