Created by Harobouri (talk). Self-nominated at 11:45, 6 November 2022 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new and long enough and conveys the subject in a neutral manner. Hooks are interesting, sourced (assuming good faith for source behind the paywall for ALT0) and included in the article. Pic in the source is currently not included in the article, and does not capture the subject particularly well, so I would suggest either changing this to the picture included in the article or removing the pic entirely. QPQ achieved. Once the picture issue has been resolved this can be passed. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 15:55, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Giant Drop (Six Flags Great America)Giant Drop – The page at Giant Drop is a redirect to a ride at another location with "The" added to the front of it. The name Giant Drop at Six Flags Great America is unambigious.

@Harobouri and In ictu oculi: queried move request Happily888 (talk) 00:15, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Rephrasing my last sentence: The name Giant Drop is unambiguous. The ride is located at Six Flags Great America and not the one located at The Giant Drop. Harobouri TC (he/him) 01:46, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Harobouri: The two article titles are extremely similar, so the term "Giant Drop" is still potentially ambiguous as the WP:PTOPIC may still refer to The Giant Drop, as the title or redirect of the article should be what is highly likely ... to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term. Therefore, there should be some discussion potentially focusing on which topic more readers are more likely to search for or is more notable. Happily888 (talk) 10:15, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, I think that a disambiguation could be helpful instead of the redirect because the model is also called "Giant Drop," or the pages could just be left as is. Harobouri TC (he/him) 11:26, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Turn Giant Drop into a dab for the two rides. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:12, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I also think the best course of action here is to have a disambiguation page at Giant Drop. There are two rides with similar names, and I don't think either of them is the primary topic of the name "Giant Drop". – Epicgenius (talk) 14:17, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Giant Drop functions best as a disambiguation. Nether topic listed seem to the the primary topic. Xenryjake (talk) 05:54, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
