Super Mario Sunshine

 * Nominator(s): SCB &#39;92 (talk) 22:29, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because... it looks good enough to be one SCB &#39;92 (talk) 22:29, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
 * You didn't transclude this FAC to WP:FAC; I will do it now.  « ₣M₣ »  21:11, 16 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Not ready to be a FA yet. It looks good enough for GA, but to be a FA, the article has to be almost complete. There must be extensive searching for new and final sources. Any material that could possibly be useful to add should be considered. It looks like a wonderful article, but I doubt that all required expansion has been done for it to be a Featured Article.

 * There is nothing actionable in this oppose; please see WP:WIAFA. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 03:50, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

In the to do list, it says to expand reception section; should this be done?-SCB &#39;92 (talk) 18:15, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, the todo list hasn't been edited in 3 years, so there is likely more reception now then there was then. My point, though, is that it is impossible to tell exactly what needs more sources. If this is to be a featured article, multiple people need to check all the venues of available sources(print magazines, online reviews, interviews, general coverage), thus making sure the article is indeed complete in its information, and worthy of being Featured. After that, there is copy editing to make sure the grammar is top notch. Like I said, this article is a pretty decent Good Article, but I would not be able to tell at first glance that this would be FA material. It doesn't look comprehensive enough.

Procedural close - nominator is not a significant contributor to the article and does not appear to have consulted major contributors prior to nomination, as is required by the FAC instructions. Nikkimaria (talk) 21:15, 16 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Image Review This article isn't going to get promoted, but I'm going to do an image review on it just because I loved this game so much. The main infobox image is good. The screenshot, however, has sourcing issues. When I clicked on the source link I got "You don't have permission to access /images/Reviews/gamecube/super-mario-sunshine/super-mario-sunshine-3.jpg on this server." That is problematic to me. Also, please stick all the information into a template.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  01:32, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

To the nominator, please read the WP:FAC instructions-- suggest Peer review. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 03:51, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
