[edit] Articles that could be merged

Current articles Merge into Comments
Alien (film) These articles consist mostly of in-universe explanations and excessive fair-use images. They either have no sources or only primary sources, and amount to little more than fancruft and plot summaries. They should be merged into sections on the main film article explaining the film's development and special effects in a manner consistent with WP:WAF.
These articles consist mostly of in-universe explanations and excessive fair-use images. They either have no sources or only primary sources, and amount to little more than fancruft and plot summaries. They should be merged into sections on the main film article explaining the film's development and special effects, or the character list article, in a manner consistent with WP:WAF.
Alien (film series) The article is unreferenced and consists mostly of in-universe explanations. It amounts to little more than fancruft and plot summary. It should be merged into a section on the film series discussing elements of the series' fictional universe and recurring plot elements in a manner consistent with WP:WAF.
Predator (alien) These articles consist mostly of in-universe explanations and excessive fair-use images. They have only primary sources, and amount to little more than fancruft and plot summaries. They should be merged into sections in the article about the creature, explaining its development and special effects in a manner consistent with WP:WAF.
List of Alien and Predator games These video game articles are nothing but plot summaries and galleries of copyrighted screenshots. Most of them are stubs and have been tagged as unreferenced for over a year. It's highly doubtful that any of them could be expanded with encyclopedic content and third-party critical sources. All of the information in them could be nicely summarized in the list article. The only video game article at present that seems to have a good possibility of encyclopedic expansion is Aliens: Colonial Marines, as the game is still in development.

[edit] Articles being reviewed

Reassessed as Start-class. Coming along, but relies almost entirely on 1 source. No need to worry about this one right now. The game is still in development and I'm sure more source material will become available as the release date gets closer and reviews, etc. start being published. --IllaZilla (talk) 16:46, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

For peer review, good article, or featured article status.
