Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||||||||

I've initiated a discussion on the article's GA status on the nominations talk page. Feel free to contribute. DMT biscuit ( talk) 16:48, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello everyone. A couple of days ago I wanted to make a thread here asking for permission to edit the Reception section for this article, but I decided not to because I felt it wasn't necessary. However, after seeing that the reviews for the game have come out, I think adding this discussion here will be beneficial; seeing as how this article has maintained its GA status for over 5 years, perhaps one good way to preserve the quality of the article is to discuss changes made to it directly beforehand, especially on the Reception section as it has the most potential to change within these next few days. Perhaps we should talk about our intentions for editing the section - identifying reliable sources, what constitutes due weight, copy editing, and so on. This way we make sure that this Reception section has the same level of quality as the other sections of the article.
As of writing this, I just cited a Destructoid review on the section; you may check and edit it if you wish. I also left a comment in the Reception section for anyone to add criticism of the game, specifically the EMMI system. GameSpot and Destructoid both talk about them in detail, and I'm sure plenty of other outlets have also talked about it as well. I would add more, but I have schoolwork I need to take care of.
Anyway, have a good day Wikipedia editors. It's only two days from now, but I can't wait until Dread comes out! PantheonRadiance ( talk) 19:13, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
Result: With no recent substantive changes, issues still outstanding and no opinions raised to the contrary, I will be delisting the article as a GA. — CR4ZE ( T • C) 01:29, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
As already discussed at the article's talk page, the game is now out in the wild and with several weeks to bring it up to standard, unfortunately it still fails 3a. With no substantive rewrites since release, and major contributors indicating they'd support a delist, I think this is pretty cut-and-dry. The decision (with which I disagreed) to close the previous GAR has aged quite poorly, as the exact concerns raised by the !delist votes have played out as expected. I will keep this open for a few days if there is disagreement, or if this inspires someone to take up the challenge. — CR4ZE ( T • C) 04:40, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I think Vaporware Video Games Category must be removed because the game released.-- أبو الشاي حليب ( talk) 06:15, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
LucianoTheWindowsFan suggests to split
Metroid Dread into
Metroid Dread (cancelled video game) and
Metroid Dread (2021 video game) as the latter has now appeared.
Please discuss the proposal below, and
LucianoTheWindowsFan, please also provide your reasoning for the split.

Support splitting of both articles. Considering that the version of the article that talked about Dread as a cancelled game already reached GA status before it finally got announced as a new game, there shouldn't be any doubts or uncertainties about its notability and/or lack of information about it. I'd also support even turning "Metroid Dread (cancelled video game)" into a fully-fledged Development of Metroid Dread article to touch upon how the game was in development hell for a decade and a half.

Just noticed this game has special editions and amiibos released specifically for this game. Why don't we put a release section and mention those because ALL other Nintendo games do that. Even Samus Returns! NakhlaMan ( talk) 05:31, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
