- Result: No consensus to delist. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:11, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Recently, I've copyedited this article and edited fictional content into present tense. However, this article was promoted to GA status back in 2014, and the article looked vastly different to what it is now. This article may violate GAC criterion 2D, and the copyright violation report can be found here. Note that the top result is a fan site. I also feel that some of the images in the article violate criterion 6B, as the images may not have suitable captions. TarantulaTM (speak with me) (my legacy) 21:41, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Correction: The article's last GA review was back in 2009, not 2014. TarantulaTM (speak with me) (my legacy) 01:18, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- On criterion 2D ("not plagarism" - side note, it's convenient to remind readers which criteria is which): The copyright violation report doesn't look remotely problematic to me. All of the top hits are bloggy sources that don't actually appear to be that close to the article and were published long after the article was made a GA, so they're just copying Wikipedia rather than Wikipedia copying them. For images, "suitable captions" is WP:SOFIXIT territory - I don't see what's so problematic with the existing captions, but if you have ideas to improve them, you should just go ahead & edit them in. Now, it's possible that the article isn't GA and/or just needs a refresher due to looking very different from the promoted version, but I'm not sold the problem, if any, is in image captions or in copyright violation.

- Keep I made a quick check of the article and found no noticeable problems, and as pointed the reasons for delisting are rather weak. Cambalachero (talk) 16:05, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
