GA Status

I've initiated a discussion on the article's GA status on the nominations talk page. Feel free to contribute. DMT biscuit (talk) 16:48, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GA Reassessment

(citation of decision) The current criteria this is a procedural keep. We cannot expect the current article to have information about gameplay, release, reception, etc., as the game currently has not been released. It does not lack such coverage, because such coverage does not exist. I think a good time to reassess on those grounds would perhaps be November, giving some time for reliable sources to process the game and for this article to reflect those.

Status to be reviewed again in November 2021. --Whiteguru (talk) 05:48, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I did not participate in the GAR, but I agree with your closing determination. The game is scheduled for release in October 2021. By November 2021, I'd expect there would be enough coverage about sales and critical reception for editors to work with, so that is a good goalpost for interested editors to work towards.

Reception

Hello everyone. A couple of days ago I wanted to make a thread here asking for permission to edit the Reception section for this article, but I decided not to because I felt it wasn't necessary. However, after seeing that the reviews for the game have come out, I think adding this discussion here will be beneficial; seeing as how this article has maintained its GA status for over 5 years, perhaps one good way to preserve the quality of the article is to discuss changes made to it directly beforehand, especially on the Reception section as it has the most potential to change within these next few days. Perhaps we should talk about our intentions for editing the section - identifying reliable sources, what constitutes due weight, copy editing, and so on. This way we make sure that this Reception section has the same level of quality as the other sections of the article.

As of writing this, I just cited a Destructoid review on the section; you may check and edit it if you wish. I also left a comment in the Reception section for anyone to add criticism of the game, specifically the EMMI system. GameSpot and Destructoid both talk about them in detail, and I'm sure plenty of other outlets have also talked about it as well. I would add more, but I have schoolwork I need to take care of.

Anyway, have a good day Wikipedia editors. It's only two days from now, but I can't wait until Dread comes out! PantheonRadiance (talk) 19:13, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
