Super Mario 3D Land

Nominator(s): 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 20:15, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating the Super Mario 3D Land article for Featured Article status because it is a well-written, comprehensive, and well-sourced piece that stands out as a high-quality representation of gaming content on Wikipedia. The article thoroughly covers all significant aspects of the game, including its development history, gameplay mechanics, release, and reception. It is well-sourced, and is currently at GA status. Thank you. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 20:15, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:FAC: "Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article before nominating it". Considering that you've made 0 edits to this article, did not consult with major contributors to the article, and your FAC nomination was reverted on the talk page, you should reconsider this nomination if you are not familiar with the subject and its sources.

Oppose from NegativeMP1

Per the concerns posted by Vacant, it is pretty apparent that this is a drive-by. I also wouldn't say it "stands out as a high-quality representation of gaming content on Wikipedia" when there's writing issues I would personally not even allow at a GA level (one-two sentence paragraphs, reception section based more on headlines / game ratings rather than what critics actually had to say about the game, etc.). I recommend you withdraw this nomination. λ NegativeMP1 23:26, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest withdrawal - both procedurally and content-wise, this isn't where it needs to be. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:55, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose this is a drive-by nom. Cos ^{(X + Z)} 19:12, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
