Result: Delisted. Concensus is this article does not meet GA criteria. The1337gamer (talk) 18:02, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think this article should remain a GA in the current state it is in. Considering I have too little experience with the matters at hand, I do not feel confident to adress the issues myself. I am pinging the original GA nominator here: @Paulcmnt:. Zwerg Nase (talk) 12:15, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think this should immediately lose its GA status but I'm wondering if it's even notable enough to have its own page on Wikipedia. Nearly half of the sources are dialogue from the game, one is a press release, another is an abandonware website, two are interviews, and the Gameplanet link is dead. I just don't know if this article should still be up. GamerPro64 18:46, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I vote speedy delist, as I can not find many reliable sources for the subject and the article is obviously a mess. I would also vote weak delete when it comes to keeping or deleting the article, as I challenge the subject's notability. ~~Gamingforfun~~³⁶⁵ (talk) 19:34, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have also never heard of the subject until this GAR has been brought up to WT:VG, so I am thinking that this kind of material belongs on Wikia. ~~Gamingforfun~~³⁶⁵ (talk) 19:36, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The place to discuss whether the article is notable enough to exist is at Articles for Deletion. Of course, if the article does not survive an AfD nomination, this GA reassessment is moot, since the article would no longer exist. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:41, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In a GAR case such as this, shall I set up an AfD for this article? ~~Gamingforfun~~³⁶⁵ (talk) 04:23, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Don't bother with AfD (it's worth attempting to redirect "before" going to AfD, which is a last resort). Redirect/merge it to some parent article's section where it is discussed. czar 18:31, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If this article were up for its first GA it would be failed for having multiple maintenance templates - one section is completely unreferenced. There is another referencing issues - Ref#4, a 2008 ref - gameplanet.co.nz - has expired. There also appears to be a copyvio issue with combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Codename:_Gordon. One or the other article - either the WP one or the combineoverwiki - is copied from the other. I would say that the other article is a mirror site, just not one that I am familiar with. And, what is the deal referring to people as First name "Nickname" Last name? Two different people are referred to as such and more than once - Paul "X-Tender" Kamma and Sönke "Warbeast" Seidel...this doesn't exactly sound like an encyclopedia and is more like what one would find in a fan-magazine.

Speedy delist. Too riddled with errors to keep its status for now. Notability can be discussed on different platforms, such as AfD. Anarchyte (work | talk) 06:32, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
