Development history of The Elder Scrolls series

[edit]
Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch • Watch article reassessment page • GAN review not found
Result: Delisted A merge discussion resulted in a decision to merge the article into the parent article and the various individual games. This will result in this article becoming a redirect. Redirects can not be Good articles so this is in effect a technical delisting. AIRcorn (talk) 06:00, 1 February 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Promoted in 2007, a quick glande to the article shows that it substantially fails the broadness guideline: it's scope is the development history of the Elder Scrolls series, but it lacks a considerable amount of information for the latest games, Skyrim, its expansions, several spin offs as well as the recently-accounded online game. Also, references are a big mess and I have foudn that several facts stated in the prose are not covered by the sources. As I believe that an individual reassessment is out of my hand for several reasons, I request this community assessment. Regards. — ΛΧΣ21 05:15, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Since this is an overview article and Skyrim is quite well developed it should not be too difficult to add information from there. I wonder if there is an overview that can tie all these games developments together. Otherwise it looks a bit like a glorified dab page. AIRcorn (talk)
  • I think it should remain GA. Per the GA criteria, the article does address the development of Skyrim; it is not comprehensive in its coverage, but it is still just a GA. I'm more concerned that it doesn't discuss possible sequels to Skyrim, though I don't know enough about the game to know whether that would be speculation. --Odie5533 (talk) 13:07, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I made a suggestion that the article be split and merged as it seems to be redundant with other articles. If this goes ahead then the article will be delisted as redirects cannot be given Good status. The discussion is Talk:Development history of The Elder Scrolls series#Merge.
