MarioWiki:Featured articles/N3/Mario (franchise)

Support

 * 1) The series pages are usually quite bad but this is a major exception. The page is exhaustive but concise, well-written, and avoids falling in the trap of shoving too much image and useless tables because it "looks professional". This is the standard every series pages should be held to.
 * 2) I agree. But there is a reason why this is better than the others. This is a franchise which is something bigger than a series. Also there is no duplicate content. It would be a very big standard that other series would have to live by. I don’t think that series pages should live by that standard. They are fine the way they are, but they will never be able to be a featured article, and I’m good with them not being featured articles.

Oppose

 * 1) This page really lacks any form of a list of the games that have been released in the franchise, which in my opinion, is an important element of any series or franchise page, and something I would not want one such page to become a featured article without. While this page in particular doesn't really need such a mega list in my opinion, I am concerned that this article becoming featured will lead to a decision that a precedent exists about not having to mention every game within a series on series pages which I do not want to happen.  If I was guaranteed that no precedent would be created by this article becoming featured that individual series pages (such as Mario Party (series)) did not have to mention all the games within their series, I will remove my vote.

Some sections of the article do need more images in my opinion though 18:27, 22 August 2016 (EDT)
