 * Notified: CALR, Drat, Nick R, Niwi3, WikiProject Video games

I am nominating this featured article for review because of the following:


 * Issues with specific references
 * IMDB (unreliable source)
 * detStar (notability not established)
 * CheatCodesGuides.com (per WP:GAMETRIVIA)
 * Yamo's Lair (notability not established)
 * "The Rare Witch Project Wiki" (per WP:RS wikis cannot be used)
 * moddb.com (unreliable source per WikiProject Video games/Sources)
 * The refs/links in general could use some looking over


 * Issues with reference formatting in general. Format is not consistent, rarely lists authors of web articles, etc.
 * Several dead links can be replaced, although admittedly there may be some that can't.
 * Entire paragraphs under the Gameplay and Development sections are unsourced.
 * The Reception section is poorly organized and lacking in content overall.
 * File:Perfect Dark Japanese Ad.jpg, File:Goldeneye-in-perfect-dark.jpg too large per WP:NFCC.
 * There's a direct external link which should be a wikilink in the article
 * The article has an overuse of images per WP:NFCC. Not all images are needed to convey the game to the reader.
 * Fair use rationale needs beefing up on most of the images
 * Some image captions are simply "this is what you see in the image" rather than useful captions per WP:CAPTION
 * There are several small paragraphs which can be merged
 * There is no alt text on any of the images

I recommend a demotion to B-Class, as this doesn't pass Good article criteria either. --Teancum (talk) 02:26, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * There has been no pre-FAR talk page notification, as is required by a recent change to FAR procedure. Because of this, I am untranscluding the nomination from the FAR page and removing the template from the article talk page. Please make the notification and if there is no answer after at least a week feel free to retransclude the nomination and replace the template. Dana boomer (talk) 02:39, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
