Topic Image[edit]

I think the image should be changed to Image:Gamepad.svg in order to cover all articles in the topic. It isn't a big deal, but does the Wii image really relate all 5 game consoles? --haha169 (talk) 01:09, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Topic Expansion[edit]

There are several minor systems that are in the category for 7th generation video game consoles, which should eventually be included in this topic. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 03:00, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody has ever heard of those before, including notable cite websites. Therefore, it makes it difficult for those articles to pass GAN, at the least. --haha169 (talk) 20:37, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Topic Improvement[edit]

Obviously, getting the main article to FA would be awesome, and the rest of the articles to FA as well. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 03:01, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would be simpler to first pass XBox 360, then the two handhelds. Being the nominator for the main article's GAN, I find the current situation to be quite...bad. I don't think the main article is in shape to pass FAC anytime soon. --haha169 (talk) 20:36, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Remove?[edit]

Should we remove this from the featured topics? Two of the articles are no longer GA. Spiderone 16:14, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The first of the two articles' retention periods runs out on the 15th October, so we can't nominate it for removal before then, but unless the articles are brought to GA sharpish, I expect the topic will then get removed - rst20xx (talk) 19:43, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
