GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
This page was nominated back in 2010, and I do not feel it meets the GA criteria by any means now. Even just briefly skimming through the article I notice plenty of things that make this fail the criteria.

  1. The gameplay section has absolutely zero sourcing and a nice "additional citations needed for verification" template to go with it
  2. Noticeable lack of any kind of development section
  3. Uses unreliable sources, such as GameFAQs
  4. The reception section is a complete mess. It's just a hashed-together laundry list of "[x] said [y]" with barely any attempt at trying to weave them into sentences.
  5. The page was also filed under Sports & Recreation, which doesn't make any sense.

This article does not meet the criteria, and as such I vote to delist. Namcokid47 (Contribs) 20:37, 24 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Wait, you disagree with the instructions, or you disagree that the instructions mandate informing editors involved in the article? - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 23:52, 27 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • No, I disagree with having to specifically notify the editor about the page and just delay the entire process when I should just be reassessing it. This discussion is going nowhere, the page has already been delisted, and I have better things to do with my time. This is the end of the discussion for me.

    • @Namcokid47: Every time, 100% of the time, when you nominate an article for reassessment, you HAVE to tell the involved editors. I'm not talking about it being mandated to inform people of quality issues, I'm telling you that it is courteous. But I am telling you that it is incredibly improper that, twice in a row, you have failed to inform me that you nominated an article for reassessment that I nominated for GA. If you fail to inform me of a GAR again, I will be informing an administrator. - Bryn (talk) (contributions) 23:57, 27 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
    • Abryn has a point. Point 3 of WP:GAR (before initiating a reassessment) states: Notify major contributors to the article and the relevant Wikiprojects. Remember, the aim is not to delist the article, but to fix it. Point 5 of WP:GAR (The instructions for individual reassessment) also states: Notify major contributing editors, relevant WikiProjects for the article, and, if recently GA reviewed, the nominator and the reviewer. The {{GARMessage}} template can be used for notifications by placing {{subst:GARMessage|ArticleName|page=n}} ~~~~ on user talk pages. Replace ArticleName with the name of the article and n with the subpage number of the reassessment page you just created. I am suprised how quickly this article got delisted, we need to give contributors time to fix outstanding issues to GA articles.  Spy-cicle💥  Talk? 01:14, 28 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
