I want to know what this article needs in terms of content and comprehensive before I begin making major overhauls to it, because I'd like to ultimately bring it to FAC eventually.

 * Comments by David Fuchs
 * You telling me you can't have a 3 paragraph lead for 23 KB of info?
 * I know you were bugging me about 'shopping a logo, but IMO Samus is actually more representative of the series as a whole anyhow, so it's a better fit. A more substantial FUR would be nice, however.
 * Metroid (series) reads just like I suspect it was created; a chopped up and combined hash of non-notable character articles. It's poorly stitched together and overly long. Covering only the important antagonists from multiple games (metriods, ridley, dark samus, etc.) would be a better route.
 * The story secition looks as though its trying to decide whether it's an integrated list or summaries with subsections. Organizing it in a table like Myst (series) or just streamlining it to prose like Halo (series) might be better options, especially since you then just have a bare link to list of media right below it, which should go regardless.
 * There's some sections which have excessively clunky prose, such as the litany of "also"s in "In other media".
 * Not sure about how defensible the gameplay shots are in development.
 * What makes a reliable source? Why is Overclocked Remix a reliable indicator of music popularity?
 * In short; less story, more real world content if possible. -- Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 20:26, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, will get to this in due time. I have yet to begin editing on this article (I opened this PR to receive feedback on how to proceed first, since I have absolutely no idea). Gary King  ( talk ) 02:12, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
