Sorry, but I agree with Hahnchen here. There is basically four sentences of original prose in the main body, two in the lead and a tabulated list. While I acknowledge ViperSnake151 has written the bulk of the prose in another article relatively recently (and should at very least be given a DYK credit), it is likely to be pulled from prep because of a lack of originality (see Rule 1a). Also for future reference, avoid starting list articles with "This is a list of...". Most readers would infer that from the title. Fuebaey (talk) 18:55, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
List of Xbox 360 games compatible with Xbox One edit
- ... that Xbox One has gained backwards compatibility with selected Xbox 360 titles?
- Comment: As noted in history, some content adapted from original content added to the Xbox One article on 15 June 2015 (and before) by ViperSnake151 and others.

I don't think so; as you have noted some (most) of the text comes from the Xbox One article. It's laudable that you been upfront about it, but your reward is to have your nomination rejected for not containing enough original text (I encourage you to seek a second opinion though; I'm a renowned bitch) Belle (talk) 23:36, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- The content is original and (mostly) new; just not necessarily all written by me. I didn't see any reason to reinvent the wheel and have differing prose between the articles. –xenotalk 02:00, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- (I meant to edit this in on the 18th but looks like I forgot to click save): I'd be happy for ViperSnake151 to have or share credit on the DYK, since he first broke the news to the parent article. –xenotalk 18:52, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
Go on then; I've softened over the weekend (my stance on the item's eligibility, not physically). Length OK, age OK, neutral, no copyvio etc. Hook not knicker-wettingly exciting but not the dullest one we've ever had, and it's cited. QPQ not required as far as I can make out (I'm probably wrong, but Xeno looks like a long time listener, first time caller). Sort out the credit among yourself/ves.

This would be better as a pure list, not a DYKable article. The history section is a mirror of Xbox_One#Backward_compatibility and unnecessary for a list. If I search for a list of games, I expect a list of games, not an announcement timeline and erroneous technical detail (you don't emulate a ported game). - hahnchen 23:09, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
