Metroid Prime trilogy

[edit]

After slowly bringing Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and then Metroid Prime 2: Echoes to FA status, I now present to you the Metroid Prime trilogy. The articles included in this topic were chosen after this discussion, and Metroid Prime, the topic's lead article, mentions the other two articles in Metroid Prime#Legacy.

All interesting suggestions, and I'm open to doing something different. However, is there one that most of us can agree on? I think that this makes sense; please comment on what you guys think:
Main page Articles
Metroid Prime (series) Metroid Prime · Metroid Prime 2: Echoes · Metroid Prime 3: Corruption · Metroid Prime Hunters
  • A better lead article appears to be desired
  • Hunters has been included because some consider it to be a vital part of the storyline
  • Pinball was not included; it was only suggested by User:New Age Retro Hippie and suggested to not be included by a few others because it does not follow with the series' storyline

Thoughts on that? Gary King (talk) 16:48, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That seems more reasonable to me. But with a series article non-existent and Hunters rated C-class, it might be best to withdraw the nomination for now. (Guyinblack25 talk 17:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC))[reply]
Yeah, I don't plan on keeping this nomination open if we are changing the topic's scope. However, I'd still like more feedback on a new setup before closing this nomination. And perhaps more feedback from uninvolved parties to the current setup. Gary King (talk) 17:11, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I still want Metroid Prime Pinball in, as it's a pinball remake of Metroid Prime (using areas and plot points from it). - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 19:19, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I see it being a good supplement, but I don't see how it adds much to the topic. You pretty much summed it up in a single sentence, and Metroid Prime already mentions it in such a capacity. (Guyinblack25 talk 20:04, 16 December 2008 (UTC))[reply]
Yeah, I don't know how much I would be able to cover Pinball in Metroid Prime (series). I don't think there would be much on it to relate it back to the whole series. Gary King (talk) 20:13, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As per the prior discussion at WT:FTC#Metroid Prime topic, I think Pinball should be included, if Hunters is to be included (once again, plot concerns are subjective). No-one's said they'd oppose if Pinball would be included, just that they think it would be fine without. Conversely, this makes two of us saying we'd oppose if it is excluded. Sorry.
Also, ask yourself honestly, would you be creating Metroid Prime (series) because you feel there is a genuine need for this article, or because it would be easier to get Metroid Prime (series) to GA than all the other already-existent Metroid articles? Because if it's the latter, then I don't think you should make the new article - rst20xx (talk) 20:37, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, Metroid Prime is an official series, per pages like this, and a few times when Nintendo mentions it as a new series in press releases. Gary King (talk) 20:45, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
