GA concerns
editI am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are outlined below:
- Most of the article is the character's in-universe actions in the book and the TV show, and I think this should be reduced.
- There is no information on the character's reception, instead focusing on Dinklage's performance
- The creation and development sections contain very long block quotes, bringing concerns about copyright. These should be summarised as prose.
- There are some unreliable sources, such as PR Newswire, Daily Express, and the International Business Times that should be removed.
Is anyone interested in addressing these concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 21:25, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

- I agree that the article would benefit from improvements, but I think it's borderline-to-acceptable in terms of the GA criteria. The article could be more concise, but given the length of the story I think it's acceptable regarding the "focus" criteria. (Maybe the family tree should go?) It would be nice for the reception information to be better-organized, but it actually is present scattered throughout the article, so I'm not sure it fails the breadth criteria either. (I'm least certain about this one -- maybe it does need to get pulled out into its own section.) The single citation to PR Newswire looks fine to me as WP:ABOUTSELF since it's just supporting an award nomination. The International Business Times also looks fine to me because it's an interview with the producers being cited as such, though it could possibly be removed as part of making that section more concise. I removed the Daily Express citation since there was another source supporting that info. So I don't have concerns about the RS criteria. To my eye, the biggest problem is a tendency toward repetition and an unencyclopedic tone, but the prose is certainly grammatically correct and understandable by a broad audience. Overall, I am torn, but I don't quite lean toward a delist. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:15, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delist work is not ongoing to address the concerns, and I think if this was at GAN it would be failed due to the orange banner and overreliance of in-universe information. If someone is willing to step up and address these concerns, I am happy to strike my delist. Z1720 (talk) 15:53, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
