[edit] Captain Falcon

Moving from review to nomination. Nominating due to no response in the CVG & regular Peer Review after reaching GA status. FMF|contact 21:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Object. Not even sure this is a GA, to be frank. Major sourcing issues, hardly anything from third party magazines (which there are plenty) and some entirely unsourced paragraphs. --badlydrawnjeff talk 03:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Object - Needs a thorough copyediting. Here are a few weird sentences (or non-sentences) to get you started:
  • "An eight-paged comic included in the manual of the 1990 SNES F-Zero game."
  • "Based on the video game F-Zero GP Legend, the series presented Captain Falcon's persona basically the sameway done in the video games."
  • "The main reason Port Town High Jump was built was due to the feeling and the casualties."
  • "Very little information known about his personal background."

  • Object Compare to Link (The Legend of Zelda) and you will see why. Jay32183 06:24, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • OBJECT Totally not FA-material. Physical characteristics section reads like the back of a "boullabaseball card" from the promotions connected to the show ALF. Too many stubby sections. Not nearly enough referencing per WP:CITE. Just because there was no response at peer review, doesn't mean it "passed". Not much is going on around there. And Good Articles (I would have never passed this), is only as good as the least demanding judge. This is more a candidate for Good Article review (and removal) than for FA. —ExplorerCDT 09:22, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
    • P.S. I delisted this article from Good Articles. —ExplorerCDT 09:27, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
