Remove Featured Article Status
- Randombob-omb4761 (talk) This article needs more images (Just look at the template on the article!), it has 6 missing images.
- Baby Luigi (talk) Randomb-bobomb's reasoning is very weak as hell. But regardless, further analysis into the article reveals that the enemy and item tables are incomplete. Tsunami has stated that images should be there if "available", however, having 2/3rds of the sprites available and the others missing means that the results are inconsistent and incomplete. The rule about available images is mostly concerning unobtainable media such as Satellaview games and others. Donkey Kong Land is very obtainable to the general public so no images isn't an excuse for an incomplete table. Besides, Tsunami, ripping sprites don't work that way, especially if a game uses pre-rendered sprites which would be nearly nigh impossible to obtain by manual methods, so extracting image files from the game is an option, and considering how accessible it is to access Game Boy sprites thanks to older technology, it shouldn't be impossible to game-rip the sprites directly from the game.

- Tsunami (talk) Unfeaturing just because there are a few images missing? I know that missing images is an issue on an article, especially on one featured, but still you need to know that editing an image to get the ACTUAL sprite is difficult, especially in a black and white game. The issue can be easily resolved by putting images of the full screen to represent the subject. Done. Also, the oppose you did for Lakitu, that says that it has a rewrite template, well, it isn't totally right to be an oppose in my opinion. One should check a page often when it is about to be Featured. I know that rule 5 says that no templates should be in the article, but in this article the template can be taken down like I said before. But rule 10 says that the images should be of good quality if avaible. You know, sprites are sprites, and they have to be like they are in the game, without missing any pixel. And those sprites are difficult to get. Still, remember that you can easily put images of the game screen to replace sprites that are waiting to be made. And I find that, since this is your only issue found, and I think that the article is well written and stuff, your Unfeaturing propose is (no offense) a bit non-costructive. A Featured Article should have more issues to be Unfearured. Still, this is my point of view. Not all I said can be right and maybe my oppose can fall if you find another GOOD reason for why Unfeaturing this.
- Vommack (talk) In my opinion, that template shouldn't even be there. It looks alright to me.
