Grand Theft Auto (series)[edit]

I believe that this is a major part in gaming history and should be featured article one day. Many people may need to know about this if they are doing research on controversial games. Please consider it. Toni.Cipriani 19:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - This article has several cleanup tags, and only 4 references. There's a lot of work to be done yet, before it is ready to be featured. Jeffpw 10:47, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Object - It's much like the GA:SA article you nominated, while it is one of the most popular game series it has to meet the featured article criteria which this does not. It's way too listy, unreferenced only 4, no fair use rationales for the images, has two cleanup tags which are for Trivia and popular culture. They're basically the same thing and very encyclopedic as it's just lists. The games have sparked a lot of controversy and should have a separate section for it. I suggest you get a peer review M3tal H3ad 10:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Featured article is based on quality, not subject. Trebor 13:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Two whole sections needs either removing or moving into another section.82.6.164.68 13:19, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I agree. This article does seem too listy, and it seriously looks like it needs some clean-up. Sorry, but a featured article is a featured article because of its quality, not its subject. Cat's Tuxedo 15:21, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OBJECT. all the reasons above. —ExplorerCDT 20:34, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The nominator was blocked for being the sockpuppet of an indef blocked user. i think that means this can be pulled now. The Placebo Effect 01:42, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
