Luigi's Mansion

Support

1. Paper Plumm (talk) Firstly, is Luigi's Mansion detailed? Every aspect of this game is covered thoroughly but in a way that isn't at risk of over explaining. There are relevant images for every single aspect and even colour coded links matching up with the areas for locations. In regard to appearances the article has a long and detailed list discussing its preceding and future references as well as a discussion on manga and potential future movie appearances. In addition, it passes the manual of style with flying colours and has no improvement tags or red links. Its intro paragraph does a solid job at introducing the topic. Speaking from a non-rule standpoint I truly feel this article has gone above and beyond and until I hear your objections, I truly see no reason why this can't rejoin the Featured Article family.
2. Killer Moth (talk) Page is very detailed and well written.
3. Tails777 (talk) Agreed. Detailed and shows everything that needs to be shown.
4. Wonder Time! (talk) Per all.
5. Yoshi18 (talk) Per Paper Plumm. Sure, why not?
6. Nelsonic (talk) Per all.
7. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) - Wish I was able to get more models other than the Flying Fish, but I think I and the others did well on this one.

Oppose

1. RHG1951 (talk) The "Obstacles" section lacks images and as EvieMaybe mentioned, the Hallway article which this article links to does not exist. As for Ray Trace's comment concerning the "Reception" section, I think it should expand upon the thoughts of reviewers beyond a single line (e.g. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars § Reception). Additionally, a review looking at the game in retrospect and in comparison to its sequels would make for a good expansion as well. The latest review listed is Nintendo Life's review from 2010, which predates Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
2. Camwoodstock (talk) We have one thing we'd want to see before we feel comfortable featuring this: fixing the sourcing issues over on the List of Luigi's Mansion pre-release and unused content. That page is quite possibly a warzone for those, and if you could resolve it, it would be genuinely huge. We don't want to feature this article if it's at risk of there having been another "experiment" incident.
3. Mario jc (talk) While obstacle images have been added, the quality of them is not that good since it's hard to see the objects in a number of them.

Comments

A bit of a silly question; is it like, overkill if we were to raise concerns about the List of Luigi's Mansion pre-release and unused content page in this? Every other subpage for the game itself, and the page for the game itself, are all up to code at worst and actively show some brilliance not seen elsewhere on the wiki--those color coded links are incredibly smart!--but the pre-release and unused content page has always been notoriously... iffy, mostly on the citation front, and it gives us a bit of pause to support the article itself being featured. ~Camwoodstock ( talk ☼ contribs ) 00:04, April 11, 2025 (EDT)

i want to point out, some of those color-coded links are hiding redlinks under them. i do not know enough about luigi's mansion to fix them, but i don't think i'd support a featured article in that state. — eviemaybe (talk / contributions) 00:31, April 11, 2025 (EDT)

Thanks for both of your feedback! I want to make sure this article is worth its spot in the Featured Article section so I will gladly get this done. Could I ask for a bit more clarification for what you want citation wise, Camwoodstock? From a cursory glance I couldn’t really find what you’re describing. As for those missing hallways I’ll get right on those! User:Paper Plumm 13:33, April 13th, 2025 (EST)

In terms of sourcing, a few of the bullet points lack proper citations, and a lot of the images lack any citations at all. Making those hallway articles would be greatly appreciated, by the way! ~Camwoodstock ( talk ☼ contribs ) 13:44, April 13, 2025 (EDT)

Reception section should be expanded on. Ray Trace^(T|C) 00:55, April 11, 2025 (EDT)

Similar question for you Ray, could you please specify what you would like done? User:Paper Plumm 13:39, April 13th, 2025 (EST)

I can't elaborate right now but take a look at reception sections for other featured articles, namely Mario Party: Star Rush or Super Mario World. Ray Trace^(T|C) 18:15, April 18, 2025 (EDT)

The Hallway (Luigi's Mansion) article has been created as of today. If someone could work on the other things mentioned in RHG's oppose vote, that would be great. Power Flotzo (talk) 16:34, April 17, 2025 (EDT)

Yes!After hours of combing through World of Longplays footage to find highly specific frames, making 15 ever so slightly different image templates, and properly adding said images to the article, I did it! The obstacles section now has images! One more grievance pegging this article down and your complaint is invalid RHG1951, mwahahaha! Oh, and I see you've elevated your comment to opposition Camwoodstock, sorry I'm taking so long, I got distracted with all the stuff RHG threw at me, didn't realise I took so long you decide to hold the status hostage! I'll get to it when I'm done with their stuff, and if anyone has any more issues they'd like to add to the pile, do it soon, my sanity is slowly dwindling. If anyone wants to help as well so I don't lose my sanity doing this entirely on my own, that'd be amazing too! Anyways your girl has to do some studying, see ya when the next peg falls!

Hey now, we wouldn't call it hostage. Not a problem if it takes a bit, you've got quite a bit of time before the end of the nomination anyways. ~Camwoodstock ( talk ☼ contribs ) 19:47, April 27, 2025 (EDT)

Oh yeah, may I implore what is this spectre of an incident you call the "experiment"? User:Paper Plumm 20:14, April 27th, 2025 (EST).

Some vandal added fake screenshots and those stuck around for months before they removed them out of the blue, with the only clarification being an edit reasoning along the lines of "The experiment is over. Thank you for your participation." Combined with the already poor track record with Luigi's Mansion articles specifically... Yeah. You can see why we're so picky about there being a blatant "please source this?" tag on a page when someone had already pulled that with it. ~Camwoodstock ( talk ☼ contribs ) 20:41, April 27, 2025 (EDT)

I really chose the worst article to try to start off nominating huh? I had no idea I was stepping into a field of land mines of bad issues. This genuinely is like the first big project I’m taking on (ignoring me being poll Chaiperson) here at the wiki. I have no clue what I’m doing I spend like five days writing and planning out these articles, and then somehow I still botch them. At least it isn’t Middle School me levels of bad. Dear stars if you saw the spotlights I worked… User:Paper Plumm23:45, April 27th, 2025. (EST)

Hey @Camwoodstock, do you maybe know how the vandal is called and when this happened> Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 13:39, April 28, 2025 (EDT)

You should just be able to go to the history of List of Luigi's Mansion pre-release and unused content and CTRL+F "experiment". We're not dignifying them with the satisfaction of us saying their name. ;P ~Camwoodstock ( talk ☼ contribs ) 14:01, April 28, 2025 (EDT)
