GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
I planned to nominate this for a GAN a while back, but for whatever reason I never decided to. This was promoted way back in 2007 and appears to have been nominated by the same person as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, another GA that has been nominated for a reassessment. This one is clearly unsuitable as a GA and does not meet the criteria for a number of reasons.

1. The biggest issue I have is the surprising lack of a large reception section. While I understand that finding reviews for older games can be difficult (especially for the real obscure ones), having one this short is unacceptable for a GA. Even something like Xevious, a rather obscure video game in the West and is about seven years older than MLB, has a better one than this. The only review that is even here is a brief mention in Nintendo Power that doesn’t provide any actual information aside from the casual comment about it being like Bases Loaded.
2. Uses unreliable sources, such as MobyGames and VGMPF.
3. The article is not structured properly nor is it very well written. Not sure why the Development section was placed in front of the gameplay. The development section is also largely unsourced, and I fail to see the purpose of the “Technology” section as it doesn’t make any sense to have in a video game article.

I don’t think this article is up to snuff for the GA criteria, so I am voting to delist this. Namcokid47 ^(Contribs) 20:41, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

• Delist - Most of the article is sourced to the game's AllGame page, which has been a dead link since 2014 and there is no way to verify the information. I'm not even sure if the article passes notability to be honest, and it's going to be difficult to expand the reception section. --Niwi3 (talk) 14:07, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
• Delist The article in the current state doesn't even establish notability per WP:GNG, let alone being on a GA level right now. Development section is mostly about similar games before it, cited unreliable sources in Moby and a wiki, major parts of Gameplay and Technology (or whatever that represents) are unsourced. I have fixed the AllGame reference. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 21:47, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
