Guitar Hero series

I'm nominating this for topic removal status because it needed to have had a peer review done for the articles Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and DJ Hero 2, as well as a supplemental nomination, last month (by August 15). Neither has happened, so it fails FT criteria 1d and 3c, and the wheels should already be in motion for both to get to good article status shortly due to their imminent release.

slightly towards keep the PR requirement is a formalism that is meant to help cleanup the articles within the topic. The two articles look fairly ok (sufficient reffenrences, well organized, decent prose, etc.). The first article looks like it could easily pass GA if one would be willing to put the energy. Unless nobody shows up to deal with the GANs I don't think delisting and then re-nominating it is necessary. Nergaal (talk) 12:00, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delist though this could be rectified. There's no way an article on a not-yet released game could pass GA, so PR's need to be opened ASAP if anyone wants to save this topic. Courcelles 13:20, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As the one basically running this topic, let me suggest something: GH:WOR is due for release in a week and change from today; within a week of that I can get the article to a GA (reviews will be up within that time, enough to complete it), so it makes no sense to PR it right now in that time scale. I will however immediately put DJH2 to PR since that's still a month out. Be aware that likely the DJH2 soundtrack , possibly the WOR soundtrack, will be separate lists that will be made once the games are out (where the soundtrack in th emain articles is replaced with reception). --MASEM (t) 15:21, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As to followup:
- DJH2 in PR has had a few eyes on it, so that's been done
- GH:WOR is now out worldwide , and reviews are coming in. I have now made List of songs in GHWOR, so that will be a third article that I could add when I create a supplemental. The latter probably needs just a few more bits to tidy up to FLC that will come with getting GHWOR up to snuff. But as per normal FT rules I technically have three months to do something with this.
Given that I expect that there will be a list of songs in DJH2 come late Oct, I think that it is reasonable to hold off on the supplement until both the main GHWOR article is through GA and then the list for DJH2 is out (roughly equal timelines). That way, I will be adding 4 articles at once. But any thoughts are appreciated here too. --MASEM (t) 23:01, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That would set a bad precedent. I initially was against the FTRC, but mainly because I was assuming that editors would work on it. The 3months period is supposed to be for giving editors some slack, but with leniency precedents, it seems that many topics get their FLC/GAN started after the 3 months are up. As long as work is actually done I would be fine with the slack, but if the slack is used to wait for those 3 months to be up again... Nergaal (talk) 20:08, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Update: DJ Hero 2's PR closed, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is at GAN, and its list of songs is at FLC. GamerPro64 (talk) 16:43, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sounds good; I'll hold off anything until the FLC runs its course. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:10, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Warriors of Rock passed its GAN. Should it be added to the topic like this was a Supplementary nom? GamerPro64 (talk) 21:57, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this should count as a suppl. nom if not delisted. Nergaal (talk) 23:13, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- - - - Given me one week , after which I know I will likely have to make List of songs in DJ Hero 2, and then I can add all 4 at once for a single sup. --MASEM (t) 22:27, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Ok, the list is created now. I want to get the GHWOR list through the FLC process, after which I'll get this new list through and then create the supplemental nomination for these four articles. --MASEM (t) 20:23, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No need. This FTR can use as Supp nom. Just write the updated topic template/box below. Nergaal (talk) 05:44, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is a supplemental nom going to be posted soon? Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 17:48, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Guitar Hero (4th supplementary nomination)

This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Guitar Hero for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:

Supplimentary nominations. Should I make the separate addition to redirect here to track this? --MASEM (t) 22:57, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good DJ Hero 2 and its songs will have until January 19 to pass GAN/FLC, while the Warriors songs will have until Dec 24 to pass FLC. Nergaal (talk) 18:08, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would merge Guitar Hero (iOS) into the Mobile series. Nergaal (talk) 18:18, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, the DJ Hero 2 songs should probably be merged into the existing FL of songs of DH Hero 1. Nergaal (talk) 18:20, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno yet. If there are no more DJH titles coming, then sure I can see the combination of the setlists along with the DLC. --MASEM (t) 19:33, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm probably speaking out of turn, but DJ Hero 2 still needs a whole lot of work. There are mx tags, the Reception section has no prose at all, and the Post-release section seems unnecessary - all games have bugs, most get patched. There are also instances where the game is referred to in the future tense, so I'm guessing this needs some copy editing as well. --Teancum (talk) 18:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was peer -reviewed before the game's release, and so technically I have about another 2 months to fix it; however, please don't read this that I'm not trying to work on it. I do have to improve it and I'm not trying to skirt that issue; I just have to sit down for an hour or so to bulk up the reception section and then the tense cleanup, and then I'll GAN it. --MASEM (t) 19:33, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support - lets get this one closed down so that we can stay out in front of this topic- I still remember the 4-month-long supp nom that wouldn't die as new games kept being released. --Pres N 22:24, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with PresN. Nergaal (talk) 22:35, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Close with consensus to promote, supplemental articles added. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 03:41, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
