Characters in Castlevania: Sorrow series
This article was recommended to FLC after a discussion at WT:FAC here. Anyhow, I feel I have addressed the concerns of the previous nomination, and that the article satisfies the featured list criteria. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 01:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * previous FAC
 * Just a question, how can this be a GA-Class article and then go to WP:FLC? The criteria for GA-Class says that lists cannot be GA's.  So this article was reviewed as an article and now is a list?  It doesnt change my Support for this list but I was a bit curious because I think we really need to keep a tight definition of what is a list and what isn't a list.  Good work though!

 * Yeah, per this discussion at WT:FAC, pseudo-lists like this should be considered lists, not articles. Beforehand, they were considered articles, so acquiring GA status was appropriate. As far as I can tell from this point, any character list trying to acquire GA status should be denied and the nominator asked to try for featured list status here.

 * Gotcha, thanks for explaining. Good luck!  Gonzo fan2007  talk ♦ contribs 18:03, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments Looks good, but a few things I noticed:
 * The lead doesn't summarize the whole article (WP:Lead), in fact, it's almost completely in-universe.
 * The External links should be bulleted not numbered.
 * Doesn't the Japanese text thingie usually come in the beggining, not the end?
 * The first setnence should have some sort of bolded title thingie. Not sure what to link to, but something like "The Following is a list of characters ....."
 * Only wikilink a publisher value in an in-line citation the first time it's used. IGN, Gamespy, and Gamespot, and RPGGamer are linked multiple times.
 * The second two "See alsos" are pretty redundant.Drewcifer (talk) 15:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Support Looks good! Although the multiple wikilinks in the citations still needs to be addressed. That's fairly minor though. Great work! Drewcifer (talk) 18:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - There are some unreferenced statements, specifically under the listings for Mina Hakuba, Julius Belmont, Hammer, Celia Fortner, and Dmitrii Blinov. I don't feel like every sentence needs to be referenced, but there should at least be a citation at the end of the paragraphs that's inclusive of the information covered in the paragraph.

 * References added. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 00:32, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Question - why is it some of the character have Japanese names in parentheses and some don't? Geraldk (talk) 00:36, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Added. Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 01:01, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
