• Featured list candidates/List of Hulk video games/archive1

Nominator(s): Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 03:10, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

In the world of video games, the Marvel Comics character Hulk has appeared in a couple handfuls of standalone titles and in several others within an ensemble. As far as covering those appearances goes, this list has reached the full current extent of that purpose; each and every relevant entry is included, all details are adequately and reliably sourced, and the information is laid out in two clean and navigable tables. Special thanks to Buidhe for his input and assurance that the list is now ready for this candidacy. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 03:10, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

• Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. The {{Video game titles}} template has a `caption` parameter, so visual captions can be added by putting |caption=caption_text in the template; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |caption={{sronly|caption_text}} instead.
• Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. --PresN 01:34, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Done. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 01:51, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Comments

• "doppelgangers of She-Hulk as enemy characters.[39][13]" - refs are not in correct order
• If the FF game doesn't feature the Hulk, is it really a Hulk game?
• A handful of the bullet points are complete sentences, so need full stops
• Think that's all I got! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:42, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

  @ChrisTheDude: The Hulk does appear as a potential mini-boss between levels in FF, but I haven't found any solid secondary sources to back it up. Even that aside, I would think the inclusion of a major Hulk supporting character would be sufficient for an entry. Other than that, the other points have been addressed.

Comments Support from Gerald Waldo Luis

This article almost looks great, with a few comments:

• Image needs alt text.
• Plus, I think that file should have a border, with a caption stating that it is the logo of the '62 comic book; the logo isn't representative of the entire Hulk franchise.
• Remove the bold in "Hulk" per MOS:BOLDLINKAVOID.
• "in Marvel Comics' Marvel Universe." Isn't this kinda repetitive?
• "Several companies have developed entries in the franchise, including Adventure International, Probe Entertainment, Attention to Detail, Radical Entertainment, Edge of Reality, and Amaze Entertainment." Why does Radical Entertainment get two citations while others get one?
  • To cover both of Radical's games; each of the others only had one. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 19:44, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

But apart from that, sources look good, and the list is fine as usual. GeraldWL 18:38, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Taken care of. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 19:44, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Aight looks good now. Support. GeraldWL 20:51, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Comments from Aoba47

• Couldn't the opening two sentences be combined to: The Hulk is a fictional Marvel Comics superhero who first appeared in the comic book series The Incredible Hulk in 1962? Something about the current format seems choppy to me.
• This is more of a clarification question, but was there a reason given for why this character did not appear in video games for a decade (.e. between 1984 and 1994)?
  • None that I've seen. I can only speculate that Marvel was still new to the video game scene and more popular properties like Spider-Man and X-Men were safer bets at the time. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 16:59, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
    • That makes sense to me and thank you for the response. Aoba47 (talk) 01:03, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
• I have a comment for the last sentence of the lede. Four citations in a row seems like citation overkill to me. Is there a way to avoid this (i.e. citation bundling, etc.)?

Wonderful job with the list. My comments are relatively nitpick-y and once everything has been addressed, I will be more than happy to support this FLC for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 14:39, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

That oughta do it. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 16:59, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for addressing everything. I support this FLC for promotion based on the prose. Aoba47 (talk) 01:03, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

• Disclaimer: I haven't checked references and will be claiming credit at the Wikicup.
• I think duplinking the game systems might be useful, but that's up to you.
• No other comments, so will support on the basis of prose. Look forward to seeing the GTC. AryKun (talk) 13:16, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Source review passed (though this may be the only video game article I've seen that italicizes game names in ref titles, which is something other projects do but which is uncommon in this area); promoting. --PresN 14:43, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
