Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass (
final version) received a
peer review by Wikipedia editors, which on 29 October 2022 was archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.
Did you know nomination
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Comment: Other variations on hook could work, main goal was specifying that the DLC was criticized for looking worse than the original, eight years after the original released.
There was apparently consensus to merge Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. If the DLC has boosted its notability, then Deluxe should be an article again, and this should be merged into it. However, that requires consensus for it to actually be standalone, and there appears to be none. Additionally the DYK hook would be a fail anyway as it comes off as non-neutral.

Looking at
the merged article it was a clearly half-baked article over the essentially same game as the original. The Booster Course Pass has more notability and significant coverage than the original. I'm not opposed to a merge, but it seems weird, given that the Booster Course Pass is arguably more notable. The hook may seem non-neutral, but trust me when I say I could not find a single source that mentioned the graphics of the Booster Course Pass and didn't refer to them as "worse" than the original.

More notable or not, the DLC is intrinsically a sub-aspect of MK8 Deluxe and is not part of the original game. While notability is sometimes not inherited, the fact that MK8 Deluxe is required to use the DLC makes it part and parcel, IMO. Especially since the article talks about comparisons between the base "Deluxe" game and the DLC itself.

For ALT3, maybe some bit could be included about how this was done because of criticism?
I personally think this article is good for DYK, so tell me if there is anything else I can do, and also please give feedback on the hooks, if necessary.

Not a DYK reviewer but still, I would prefer ALT2 in my opinion. ALT3 feels a bit empty and just sounds weird, although maybe at the end it could state "in response to criticism received by fans?". ―
