MarioWiki:Featured articles/N1/List of rumors and urban legends about Mario

Support

 * 1) I became interested in this article last month and have worked to try and help it meet the quality of a featured article by going through one section at a time. All the sections now have at least one reference, and almost all references are website links that contain Wayback Machine archive links with them to lessen the chances that a link becomes dead and history relating to the rumor is lost. All references have been formatted to the best of my ability to keep them similar and orderly. The categories are also ordered by either the release date of the game that came out or the exact creation date of the rumor if it is known, to make it more chronological for people who are reading the whole article. Finally, I incorporated the "Other" and "External links" sections into the article itself, and added a longer introduction.
 * 2) This looks good with a sufficient amount of links and pictures. Will support.
 * 3) Very solid article, you have my support.
 * 4) Will this include the SM64 Iceberg either way I shall support this.
 * 5) Per all, these pages tend to be very interesting themselves.
 * 6) Per all.
 * 7) Featuring this could help clear up these misconceptions. Very interesting and well-researched.
 * 8) This was already quite the solid article, but with the new additions, I think it's definitely capable of becoming a featured article!

Oppose

 * 1) This still needs some work. There are some ciatation needed templates on the page that can be worked with.
 * 2) Given that there's still information here needing to be sourced, which is pretty important for an article like this, I don't think it's among the best we have to offer even if it's a solid article otherwise.

Regarding the three citation needed tags, I'm not sure how much more can be done. I had already looked for their sources before nominating the article, and after doing more research, I still cannot find proof that the first two exist. The last one is supported by Glowsquid, who added that information to the Ashley and Red article initially, but only from their memory, as the European WarioWare: Touched! website only shows an error page and is blacklisted from being archived. Glowsquid sent me an SWF file of a portal that was supposed to send you to web links, but I haven't been able to get clicking on the characters in the portal to send me to any website. If someone else wants to try, this is a download link to the SWF. The other two buttons with the game logos on them just send me to http://www.warioware.biz/_swf/twisted/ and http://www.warioware.biz/_swf/touched/, both of which redirect to the main Nintendo website because their sites have been removed already. The WarioWare: Touched! website is looking like it is lost, but I think that we could afford to keep the citation tag up and still feature the article, especially considering how many other sources there are for the other topics. 0blivion 22:04, August 6, 2021 (EDT)
