Sonic the Hedgehog (1991 video game)

 * Nominator(s): TheJoebro64 (talk) 00:18, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

This article is about first installment in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. I have fixed the quotes issue in this article. It is heavily sourced, and has been a Good Article for quite some time. It appears to have no unreliable sources as well. It is very detailed (but not too detailed) and looks almost perfect. For these reasons, I believe Sonic the Hedgehog (1991 video game) meets the Featured Article criteria and should be promoted to this status. TheJoebro64 talk 12:18 PM, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment -, you appear to have had limited involvement in developing this article compared with Tezero (the previous nominator) and others. I don't see where you have communicated with the principal editors about nominating the article. We normally require the involvement of those who built the article since they will be familiar with the sources used, etc. Another big concern is that the opposition from the last nomination has not been addressed. Several major sources were mentioned that have been neglected, and they don't seem to be in the article still. I recommend withdrawal of this nomination. -- Laser brain  (talk)  15:32, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I concur with Laser Brain: this nomination should be withdrawn because the problems outlined in the original FAC have not been addressed. The development section is woefully incomplete -- and in places inaccurate -- because it does not incorporate the wealth of information found in Pix 'n Love's The History of Sonic the Hedgehog.  It also fails to include material on the development and marketing of the game covered in other important sources such as Sega Mage Drive/Genesis: Collected Works and Console Wars.  Until information from these sources is integrated into the article, it fails the well-researched and comprehensive FAC criteria and should not be nominated again.

 * Oppose per above. I was going to comment earlier and echo that this was largely Tezero's work and that it is shy from meeting the comprehensiveness part of the FA criteria. JAG  UAR   22:39, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
