Legend Entertainment

 * Nominator(s): Shooterwalker (talk) 01:31, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

This article is about one of the top adventure game studios from the 1990s. Their market was niche and their history was short, but they hold importance as the spiritual successor to the acclaimed interactive fiction studio, Infocom. A lot of these types of articles slip through the cracks because the subjects were effectively "gone" by the time the internet hit mainstream. But I see these types of subjects as essential to Wikipedia's mission to preserve knowledge, as readers would otherwise have to cobble the story together from various online and offline sources. I've done the work of assembling those sources, and I believe the article is very well-sourced, thorough, and complete. In the FA process, I'm willing to work hard at the prose, which is within striking distance of the featured article criteria. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:31, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Remember looking at this for DYK months ago -- nice work! Have skimmed, will review in-depth. The big thing that jumps out to me is the nine citations for the acclaimed adventure game studio.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. (I have to imagine people disputed its level of acclaim?) While WP:OVERCITE is "just an essay", it's a fairly accepted one, and WP:CITEBUNDLE strongly suggests you bundle those for readability. Alternatively, you could cut it down to around 3-4 at most.

Procedure comment by Spy-cicle
Per FAC instructions: "An editor is allowed to be the sole nominator of only one article at a time". The editor already has Ur-Quan FAC open (this comes after Featured article candidates/Accolade (company)/archive2, the same nominator, was archived for the same reason).

 * Quite right., if Ur-Quan had progressed to being almost ready to promote, you could ask the coords for an okay to nominate another article but Ur-Quan isn't at that stage yet anyway. Pls just focus on seeing that one through for now. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 12:32, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * That was my mistake and I wasn't aware of the policy until I'd already done this. I'll come back to this once the other FA is done. Thanks for checking. Shooterwalker (talk) 12:57, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
