How this article got Good Article I'll never know. There's many problems about this article, like:

There's lots of Citation needed on the article.
There's a dubious – discuss on the Metroid 2002 (Metroid series) section, whatever that is.
On thay note, why is there stuff talking about people with speedrun records? That's unnessesary!
And there's web adresses being crudly shown on the article.

There is so much problems with this article, it needs a Start-class rating. Please give out your thoughts. GamerPro64 (talk) 18:17, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delist for the following reasons:
- Lead is not in very good shape. Needs some significant cleanup.
- In addition to a significant amount of {{fact}} tags already present, there are also other portions of the content that are completely unsourced. Other portions are clearly original research Would not pass criterion 2.
- Many unreliable sources present in the article.
- Images are not of low-resolution or low filesize and/or have poor fair-use rationales—in particular. Media do not have proper fair-use rationales, as well.
- I don't think all three videos are necessary in understanding the article. Maybe one is fine, but definitely not three, and definitely not in a gallery style (which goes against the MOS).

The biggest thing, however, is the sourcing. MuZemike 01:45, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delist pretty much per MuZemike (talk · contribs). This was made a GA when things were less stringently checked. I'll add that there isn't exactly a shortage of reliable sources available on this topic. I just added some possible ones to a "Further reading" section. —TKD [talk][c] 00:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delist per above. Kinda all that's been said has been said.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 12:07, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
