GA Review
[edit]I am failing this article for GAN because it will change significantly once it's actually released. Please wait for it to be released and for major changes to the article to slow down before nominating it again. Gary King (talk) 05:43, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- I don't see how the article will change significantly, but ok. JAF1970 (talk) 14:28, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- Unreleased games, films, etc. do not pass the the 5. Stable criterion at Wikipedia:Good article criteria because they will change significantly after they are released. A lot more information will be available once these items are released, and there is a set date that this happens, so the article will not have to wait for an indefinite period of time before it can be submitted to GAN.

- Okay, but give the article a once-over - when it's submitted a week from now, what will it need if nothing changes? JAF1970 (talk) 14:40, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- Don't assume nothing will change, because it most certainly will. Just wait a week – the article is in good shape now, for an unreleased game – but the game is still unreleased. Gary King (talk) 15:14, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- I understand that. Just wanted to see if that all things being equal.... JAF1970 (talk) 15:32, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
