LittleBigPlanet (2008 video game)
- ... that the sales for the critically acclaimed video game LittleBigPlanet dwindled before 2009? Source: [1][2]
Improved to Good Article status by Lazman321 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:13, 15 March 2022 (UTC).
- Comment: Far too much of the article dwells on the removal of the song. It is mentioned in the Lede, Release and Audio, with references 45-50, 82-84. I recommend removing the content from the lead, and at most 2-3 refs in Release to explain why the launch was briefly delayed for CD swap. Does not need to be in Audio because the song ended up not being in the product being sold. Should not be the DYK. David notMD (talk) 11:39, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
- On the contrary, the amount of coverage the "Tapha Niang" controversy has in this article is proportionate to how important it is to the topic. It received much coverage in both the video game journalism media and British media; it resulted in a worldwide recall of the game and the delay of its release; and it was the only major controversy that LittleBigPlanet was a part of, at least until the server issues of 2021 and subsequent takedown. Also, the song itself was not removed from the game; only the lyrics were. Even if the song was removed, the song would still warrant mention in the music subsection because it was the most discussed aspect of the in-game music. I do think it would be interesting enough for DYK, though I can add one more DYK nomination. Lazman321 (talk) 00:27, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: I agree with Lazman321, the time spent on the song controversy is appropriate. Review—

Nonetheless, to meet the concerns of David notMD, the approved hook is ALT2. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) please always ping! 13:36, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Promote ALT2 to Prep 7. I think the article has the appropriate amount of text for the song controversy, and the hook referring to its removal is not used as the hook. Z1720 (talk) 18:51, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
