This article became a Good Article in 2007. Now it has numberous problems to it. Problems include:

The Synopsis is too long and doesn't cite any references or sources.

The Development history section is short and has an expansion tag on it.

Two of the references,ref 7 and 8, need to be fixed up.

There's a possibility I may have missed some other problems, but these problems might show that Deus Ex fails the Good Article criteria. Thanks lots. GamerPro64 (talk) 21:02, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Refs 7 and 8 fixed right quick.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 03:20, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I've attempted trimming the synopsis to bare essentials (and doing that makes me want to go play that game again :-) --MASEM (t) 17:47, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

• Comment Generally, it's thought to be unnecessary to cite synopses, unless they contain interpretative statements. --Malkinann (talk) 21:09, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, it's not usually necessary to cite synopses. My concern with this synopsis is that it wallows in unnecessary details which may cause the article to lose focus. Majoreditor (talk) 03:19, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

The Synopsis seems to be of decent length (not too long), though I've never played the game. I'll have a go at trimming it. — Deckiller 15:56, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Some areas of the synopsis seemed a bit confusing; perhaps someone familiar with the storyline could go through and smooth it out a bit? — Deckiller 16:14, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
