I doubt in the time that this takes to clear I will have DJ Hero, Band Hero, or anything new on GH: Van Halen to GA though still in the timeframe to bring these up, but GH5 is getting close. I can hold off on this as long as that's ok with the FTC reviewers. And ok, I need to get the revamped version of Guitar Hero: On Tour series up to GA.... --MASEM (t) 21:02, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
DJ Hero, Band Hero and Van Halen articles all just need to be peer reviewed and put in the topic and it will be up to date, so I'll support if that happens, great work on this ever growing topic! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 01:56, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. 3.c. means PR, the GAs don't need to come til later, so I think we should get those done now before the sup nom finishes. Having said that, Guitar Hero: On Tour series does need to be GA, but I see it's currently nominated and it's already part of the topic so I think it would be fine to close this sup nom before that GAN is concluded, on the assumption that the GAN will pass :) (if it doesn't, we can readdress at that stage) rst20xx (talk) 15:13, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Please have consistency with section names and orders. I don't care how you do it as long as they're the same. For the game articles, pick either Gameplay then Development or Development then Gameplay. Technical issues or Reception first? Reywas92Talk03:04, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am waiting on someone to do the PR - all the quality review areas (PR, GA, FA/FL) have been really lacking in participation of late and there's little I can do about that. --MASEM (t) 04:34, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Because they are branded by Activision as Guitar Hero games. Sure, you can argue they don't have to be included, but given that the gameplay and approach are similar, cmpared with the Zelda games, it would be improper to exclude them. --MASEM (t) 04:34, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also on the new format (which is fine here), is there a way to put in the list of songs for the articles that include those as well (eg like Smash Hits) so that it's clear there's a list of songs for it but not a separate article? Band Hero and Van Halen will likely be this way too. --MASEM (t) 17:11, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm that's complicated. Firstly it's worth pointing out that before the new format, the lack of mentioning a list of songs for Smash Hits etc already existed. The issue with mentioning the songs for Smash Hits is that we need to make clear somehow that they're not in a separate article. I think the best solution is to mention in the same pipe that the list of songs is in the article, like this:
Comment/State of affairs - I've updated the book. Unfortunately time has passed such that DJ Hero and Band Hero need to be GA soon. The latter is at GAN, I imagine the former isn't far away. But I think both will need to be GAN before this can close. Also, as I said, Guitar Hero Mobile series needs updating for GH5 - rst20xx (talk) 17:21, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Got the GH5 Mobile stuff added (there is hardly anything but I did get the setlist and at least one critique of the game there). Band Hero's close to GA, but again, I'm at the whim of how fast GA is being processed (I just had a 2month old entry get cleared...) --MASEM (t) 18:35, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Once that article is created, then Masem will have 3 months to get it peer reviewed and added to the topic. But for now, the article does not exist (the link is just a redirect) and until there is more known about the game, things will stay this way - rst20xx (talk) 17:52, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This means the most amazing thing. It means that for the next 4 days, this topic will have no overdue retention periods! I might take advantage of that and close this sup nom ASAP :P but DJ Hero also needs to become GA ASAP! rst20xx (talk) 01:49, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Close with consensus to promote - I'll use the third topic box here. I think I prefer the second though so if you want to swap it across, Masem, please do - rst20xx (talk) 15:16, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You know, I think the second should be ok. It's apparent that all these games have songs lists, so if they aren't listed as a separate list, then they should be implied as part of the main article. Also, to note, I've taken the PR on DJ Hero and now made it up to GA standards and a GAN, so progress continues. (Now to find someone to help proof GH3 to get it FA before too long..) --MASEM (t) 17:10, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
