edit
 

An image used in this article, File:Pacland.png, has been nominated for speedy deletion for the following reason: Wikipedia files with no non-free use rationale as of 17 November 2011

What should I do?

Don't panic; you should have time to contest the deletion (although please review deletion guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.

  • If the image is non-free then you may need to provide a fair use rationale
  • If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale, then it cannot be uploaded or used.
  • If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Deletion Review

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):   d (copyvio and plagiarism):  
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
  • Could you please update the infobox image's fair use information? Possibly provide a source.
  • Isn't it a bit weird to call Sue a new ghost when she first appeared in Ms. Pac-Man?
  • Atari Lynx manual does not clarify that the Power Pellet works in a similar fashion to the original Pac-Man.
  • I dunno if the line about ghosts in vehicles is really that valuable.
  • "Most trip sections end with a large sign saying "BREAK TIME" — jumping at certain points at the end of each section will award the player with bonus points." - This feels extraneous. At least cutting out the bonus point detail would be a good idea, I think. In general that certain objects give points feels like a detail that could be culled.
  • Looking at it, the source doesn't seem to corroborate the notion that the designer is known for Family Stadium.
  • Unless I'm misunderstanding, I can't seem to find in the source that describes Track & Field or explains the inspiration.
  • The article does not explain what "location testing" means. Should use something more obvious, like saying that it was tested in Yokohama. Also, link to Yokohama.
  • The regional art style differences is explained in both Gameplay and Development sections.
