MarioWiki:Featured articles/N1/Bullet Bill

Support

 * 1) This article is in excellent shape and it is in Wikipedia format, so it should be featured.
 * 2) It has links to most of the sub-species.
 * 3) Overall, this article is pretty good.  It has few contractions, and its format is great.  Therefore, it should be featured.
 * 4) Per all

Oppose

 * 1) Article simply isn't ready yet. Compare it to Banzai Bill, and much more information can be used for its sections, such as level specific appearances and perhaps can use a game-by-game evolution of its appearances in a section for general information. I could do a more specific breakdown if you like but as of now, I don't support.
 * 2) Per Ray Trace.
 * 3) Per all.
 * 4) In my opinion, the article is a bit too long to be featured. Featured Articles should be of a decent length, but newcomers should be able to read an article short enough that they can get a basic idea of this wiki.

You need to at least say why you think the article should be featured. 11:47, October 20, 2021 (EDT)

Here's my issues with the article, using Banzai Bill as a point of reference: (you get the general idea of the platformer appearances)
 * Article lacks a sound cue for when a Bill gets shot out of a cannon. This is an extremely important cue for this enemy, as it often gets fired from off-screen.
 * Super Mario Bros.: Where exactly does it appear in World 5-1? And what other levels does it have subsequent appearances in? What levels where it's fired from a cannon, and fired off-screen?
 * No mention of Super Mario All-Stars when that warrants a section header.
 * No mention of Super Mario Bros. Special, except in appearances and nav template.
 * Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels: What levels does the Bullet Bill appear in? Also needs a reference to All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.
 * Super Mario Bros. 3: Needs level specific appearances, also detailing where it appears in the level.
 * Super Mario World: This is what the sections in this article should look like, where it details their appearances level-by-level, especially for some that appear in some special rooms and whatnot.
 * Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins: Needs level specific appearances, also detailing where it appears in the level.
 * Super Mario 64: It's mostly complete but it doesn't mention how they eventually disappear if shot out for too long. Could use a comparison pic for it and the remake.
 * Super Mario Sunshine: Needs level specific appearances, also detailing where it appears in the level.
 * New Super Mario Bros.: Their level specific appearances could be further detailed.
 * Super Mario Galaxy: Needs level specific appearances, also detailing where it appears in the level.
 * New Super Mario Bros. Wii: Level appearances can use expansion.
 * Super Mario Galaxy 2: Needs level specific appearances, also detailing where it appears in the level.
 * Super Mario 3D Land: Needs level specific appearances, also detailing where it appears in the level.
 * New Super Mario Bros. 2: Needs level specific appearances, also detailing where it appears in the level.
 * New Super Mario Bros. U: Needs level specific appearances, also detailing where it appears in the level.
 * Super Mario 3D World: Needs level specific appearances, also detailing where it appears in the level.
 * Paper Mario: Needs images.
 * Game & Watch Gallery: Linked section headers are not allowed, so those need to be edited out.
 * Mario Party: Needs images
 * Super Princess Peach: Section badly needs a rewrite, has remnants of old wiki writing.
 * Article has repetitive "this appears again, once again, reappears" when it should be written to be less repetitive. Bullet Bills are a series staple, it's known they'll make a lot of appearances.
 * Bullet Bills appear in Roy Koopa's move in Dr. Mario World.

This isn't all of it, I kinda fell after I was done with the platformer sections so...yeah now you get why I have issues with this nomination. 22:09, October 21, 2021 (EDT)

@Banana Barrels: That's not the point of featured articles. The point is to showcase the best articles on the wiki, not necessarily to introduce people new to it. 04:12, November 5, 2021 (EDT)
