When these two character articles were created and taken to GA, it looks like another editor just added them to the topic box without ever running a formal supplementary proposal; so, I'm running that now. These seem to be major characters in the game and are GAs, so it looks to me like they do indeed belong. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 14:40, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments There is overusage of the term "she" in the Selphie Tilmitt article rather than her identity and the overly short section can be merged with her appearances, also I am not sure about the reliability of FlareGamer, Destructoid, GamesRevolution, WomensGamers.com and 1UP. Furthermore, ref formatting needs to be consistent for the order of last and first names in the article as well as archives or publishers. I have the same issues with Edea Kramer regarding the usage of some of those sources also in that article and the ref formatting, plus merge the third para of appearances with the second one. Besides these issues, I fully support the addition of these articles to the GT! --K. Peake 18:01, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, I didn't work on any of these articles, and I'm not interested in doing so. They each passed at GAN, but if you feel that they need more work to merit that status, then hopefully someone will pick them up here in response to your comments. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 18:10, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I can understand why Flaregamer and WomerGamers.com might not be reliable but I'm pretty sure Destructoid, GamesRevolution and 1UP are helpful reliable sources who always use sources for each article.Tintor2 (talk) 20:00, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I take no issue with the last three sources then, but I am not willing to support this GT if the others are used and those problems persist whether you worked on the articles or not. --K. Peake 07:11, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I lean toward thinking that the presence of Music of Final Fantasy VIII covers that dimension of the topic sufficiently that the topic wouldn't need the song article, but I agree that it would be better to have it, since it seems to be the only notable "single" from the game. The song article apparently didn't exist when this topic was first promoted, so previous reviewers haven't considered it. If a consensus develops that it's needed, then this would need to be replaced by a topic removal proposal, unless and until someone took the song to GA. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 20:49, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with this. I do think the single is notable enough, and only used in this game, it probably should also appear on this topic. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:05, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
