Kanon[edit]
This article has gone through a large amount of revision in the past few months, and especially in the last few weeks until it was finally granted Good Article status on January 18 2007; I was the major contributor during this time. While I feel that it statisfies the Featured Article criteria, I know that the issue on 1.b may be the biggest thing that prevents this article from achieving FA. While this visual novel has never been translated into English, its understandable to look for Japanese sources and reviews, however on the case of reviews, much of them are either too difficult to find, or simply are just too few on the internet to track down. If the magazines were in hand then it would be easier, but sadly that is not the case. On another note, this article has had a peer review, though this was during the stage when it was going for GA. The issues brought up in the peer review were dealt with and resolved.

- Commment THere are several entire sections with no refs.Rlevse 11:36, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Object Many portions are deficient in inline citations.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Object As per Dwaip and looking through the article, I think it needs a few more citations. However I think it satisfies the 1.b. part, its the sourcing that concerns me. Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs) 00:14, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment With the issue on the number of citations, would this include the plot and characters sections as well? I can't image how many sources could be cited for those sections if any. I do see your point on other subsection in the Adaptations section however.--(十八) 05:45, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- There are some media related FAs which do not have any citations in plot, for example, Tenebrae (film). However, adaptation section surely needs citations. Also, please provide further information on sources (publisher, authorship etc) whenever available. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 07:31, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I suppose the article should be featured on February 1st to maximize its impact on sales of the PSP release for that date? Wikipedia lives to serve. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.186.60.198 (talk • contribs)
