Characters in Castlevania: Sorrow series[edit]

This article was recommended to FLC after a discussion at WT:FAC here. Anyhow, I feel I have addressed the concerns of the previous nomination, and that the article satisfies the featured list criteria. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 01:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just a question, how can this be a GA-Class article and then go to WP:FLC? The criteria for GA-Class says that lists cannot be GA's. So this article was reviewed as an article and now is a list? It doesnt change my Support for this list but I was a bit curious because I think we really need to keep a tight definition of what is a list and what isn't a list. Good work though!

  • Yeah, per this discussion at WT:FAC, pseudo-lists like this should be considered lists, not articles. Beforehand, they were considered articles, so acquiring GA status was appropriate. As far as I can tell from this point, any character list trying to acquire GA status should be denied and the nominator asked to try for featured list status here.

  • Comments Looks good, but a few things I noticed:
    • The lead doesn't summarize the whole article (WP:Lead), in fact, it's almost completely in-universe.
    • The External links should be bulleted not numbered.
    • Doesn't the Japanese text thingie usually come in the beggining, not the end?
    • The first setnence should have some sort of bolded title thingie. Not sure what to link to, but something like "The Following is a list of characters ....."
    • Only wikilink a publisher value in an in-line citation the first time it's used. IGN, Gamespy, and Gamespot, and RPGGamer are linked multiple times.
    • The second two "See alsos" are pretty redundant.Drewcifer (talk) 15:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks good! Although the multiple wikilinks in the citations still needs to be addressed. That's fairly minor though. Great work! Drewcifer (talk) 18:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - There are some unreferenced statements, specifically under the listings for Mina Hakuba, Julius Belmont, Hammer, Celia Fortner, and Dmitrii Blinov. I don't feel like every sentence needs to be referenced, but there should at least be a citation at the end of the paragraphs that's inclusive of the information covered in the paragraph.

Support Question - why is it some of the character have Japanese names in parentheses and some don't? Geraldk (talk) 00:36, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
