I'm nominating this article for featured article because my other FAC has stalled and has not received any new criticism in a few days, and it also has several Support votes and no Opposes. Gary King (talk) 01:46, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

You have at least four nominations running, and they are all taking large amounts of FAC reviewer resources: please choose two to withdraw. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

• Support - As long as this is still here, I support its candidacy. It is stable, comprehensive, has a very full development section, reliable sources, clear images and is well written. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 15:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
• Support per Judgesurreal777. I have helped with copyediting, mainly in the plot section, but I'm impressed with both how quickly and how thoroughly this article came together. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 18:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
• Support. For my previous Metroid experience, I did some things to help this article (VG assessment, first GA nomination, wrote most of the development, and some overall fixing), and it seems good enough to reach FA level. (and maybe if this passes I'll try to turn Metroid Fusion into a GA...) igordebraga ≠ 19:01, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
• Strong Oppose, as the article has basic problems with prose (ex. "The game opens with a meeting between Samus, three other bounty hunters, and the Admiral of the Galactic Federation fleet." a few sentences in), in-universe language right in the lead, and game guide language in the Gameplay section. Does not meet 1a and requires a thorough copyedit by an uninvolved editor before closer examination is possible. Heavy reliance on IGN and other web sources cause balance concerns. --Laser brain (talk) 22:21, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

No it doesn't; using web sources or book sources does not matter as long as they are reliable, and without an assertion that they are unreliable, there is no reason to think using them is a bad thing. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not speaking to reliability, I'm speaking to balance. Web sources are largely written by web editors that have a close interest and a strong POV about the topics. You need print sources that have an established editorial process to balance that out. I hope this is more clear. --Laser brain (talk) 23:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

If anyone wants it, I have access to a ProQuest archives account and can email someone possible print sources to use. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^(talk) 11:27, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
