Weak Support - Improvement can certainly be made, and looking at the number of views, it actually quite alarming (avg. of 103 daily hits). The only problem is, how do we find more information on something with limited info, almost on the verge of deletion? Redolta📱 ^Contribs 07:15, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – Source searches are providing very little about the video game series itself (e.g. Google News search, Google Books search, Google search). As such, this is unlikely to actually receive much improvement. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:23, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Persuasive writing

Persuasive writing – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 246 daily hits

This article has had two tags at the top of the article, a cleanup tag since 2012 and an "additional citations needed" tag since 2014. Besides feeling sure that more could be added to the article, I notice there is not one single source for what is there. I think this article, if better written and more thorough, could really be of help not only to our readers but also to WP editors (if they bother to read it) in their many discussions on WP talk pages – or maybe that's just wishful thinking. But seriously, with 246 daily hits, that means quite a few readers are looking for some guidance. – Corinne (talk) 20:01, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
