MarioWiki:Featured articles/Unfeature/N1/Krunch

Remove featured article status

 * 1) The nomination of Krunch's article happened on August 30, 2020, and passed without opposition. Looking back, though, I feel there is just one problem the article has: the length. One user does try to justify this, stating that it isn't about the size of the article, and I get that. It's by far the best-written essay I've seen for a somewhat forgotten character, and it's not favoritism either. I think any subject, whether it be a loved character, a hated character, or a character people forget about, has the potential to be featured. However, the featured article rules state that length is crucial. I'll quote this: "In this case, although these articles are complete and are written to the best of the editor's abilities, they are too short to be categorized among the best articles in MarioWiki and therefore, are not rich enough in content to be considered featured articles." While everything is well-written (though I think the section regarding DKCR is a bit flowery and overdrawn), the piece isn't "rich" enough to be remarkable. Therefore, I am nominating this article to be unfeatured.
 * 2) Per Wikiboy10. This page, while being really good-written and formally perfect, is... just not too remarkable to be featured (compared to others like Vivian, King Olly or Dixie Kong (for being fair)). Additionally, I'd like to mention the Kiddy Kong page that falls exactly under the category (better than average articles, but doesn't qualify to be featured).
 * 3) I have never supported nomination for this article (this was nominated in a time period where I was inactive so I couldn't give any input) and I also agree that it's not remarkable.
 * 4) Per all.
 * 5) Per the first three; this article is stunningly not standout enough for something that ever got that many feature votes. The only marked-level good aspect of it is the image quantity.
 * 6) Per all; this article is neither especially substantial nor particularly remarkable.
 * 7) It really doesn't stick out enough to be considered a featured article in my opinion, its length, structure, etc is just fairly average.

Keep featured article status

 * 1) This article highlights the love and care our user base has for the deepest depths of our lore and content. For it is a great highlight of where we exceed over all our competitors; we exhaust all our resources and energy to cover any and every subject better than any other entity on the expansive world wide web. Any other site will not show this full commitment and adoration for our subjects, and we must be proud of that and showcase it to the world. Anyone can write a Mario article, but how many Krunch articles can we scrounge and stumble upon? The writing is efficient, thorough and does not miss any crumb or nugget of knowledge. The images are plenty, and the backstory and creation of Krunch is highly detailed and well informed. This article highlights why MarioWiki Dot Com is a powerhouse of a being and why we must take it with the upmost of respect and serious admiration. We mean business. It's not 2006 anymore. We will cover every pixel of Krunch's body. This is the standard we should hold other articles too. It's easy to write the Luigi article. Can we as a community come together to write Krunch level articles? Can we push the boundaries? You tell me.
 * 2) I find this article "represent the best the Super Mario Wiki has to offer" because it is such a remarkably comprehensive entry of this frankly unremarkable character, digging so deep as to not just describe his role in his one video game appearance comprehensively, but also his creation and insanely obscure media no other site would acknowledge the existence. Beside, how can I argue with the sales pitch above?
 * 3) Per Paper Jorge; yeah, it's long, but it's not flowery. It meets basically all the standards and exceeds them, except for being kind of long-winded in a few points. At worst, you'd just need to rephrase some things for the sake of brevity, which certainly feels like it's not too difficult.
 * 4) Per all; going over the article now, though some may claim it's short, it's also not very padded with "flowery" writing; the writing is perfectly balanced. Not to mention the argument for removing the featured article status appears to be "it is unremarkable" and "it doesn't stand out". Yet we have Miracle Book, a small "unremarkable" feature in Mario Party 6, under the featured article system, and characters that only appear in one game (e.g. Koopa Bros.) are also featured. Perhaps we may need to rethink how we handled featured article status for small articles, but for now, this article is long enough to be a featured article.

Comments
I'll admit that the article doesn't look remarkable at first glance and a bit short, but I think the topic does hold merit with what it talks about. But I'll do a through analysis later.

@Paper Jorge: Not sure if you needed to be overdramatic to justify keeping the Krunch article under FA. 14:44, October 8, 2022 (EDT)


 * very offensive to call passion that

@Paper Jorge, @Glowsquid: How does any of your points how that much merit? Neither covers the length, and the only reason for keeping it featured is "good writing". I will admit that the article has a few flaws in terms of writing, and as I said earlier, I think it is the best essay for Krunch. However, the (admittedly unspecific) length rule calls into question here. Wikiboy10 (talk) 22:50, October 8, 2022 (EDT)
