I feel I don't really need to explain this article's notability, but it's good to have a reminder just in case. The Creative Gene is notable because it passes WP:NBOOKS with multiple reliable sources covering Kojima's book, including reviews and articles from The A.V. Club, Paste Magazine, Siliconera, Kotaku and Vice. This demonstrates notability through criteria #1 of the guideline. Also, seeing as how Kojima's historically significant in the realm of video games, this book should automatically pass #5 of the criteria as well.
As for the article's prose itself, this was the first book-related article I wrote, and I tried my absolute hardest to make sure it adheres to the book guidelines along with avoiding any sort of plagiarism in adherence with Wikipedia's policy on copyright. One concern I do have is the "Premise" section. Specifically, the first source in the article is an excerpt from the book published by Wired UK. While I made sure to cite the source each time I extracted quotes from the book, I'm a bit unsure if it constitutes close paraphrasing. The passages from the book were encased in quotations which denoted that the material came specifically from the book, not to mention WP's MOS states that sources aren't even necessarily needed for the premise of a book. So this shouldn't automatically qualify as a close paraphrase of the book, as I wrote in my own words, cited when necessary in accordance with proper attribution, and followed the close paraphrase guidelines when it was hard to find a different way to write a particular point. In general I don't believe in plagiarism and always cite material when necessary.
Anyway, let me know if you have any questions about the article; you can just ping me here. I may consider making this a GA in the near future if I can find a couple more sources, so any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, PantheonRadiance ( talk) 04:00, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Putting my hand up for this one. We're definitely lacking in coverage for video game books (especially non-fiction) so I'm glad to see so much love put into this one. Expect a review shortly. – Rhain ☔ ( he/him) 00:27, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Great work with this! It's really well written and referenced, and was a pleasure to read. All of my comments are fairly nitpicky, with several probably outside the scope of GA—most are personal suggestions that you're welcome to disagree with, and anything written like this is purely a personal suggestion that can be safely ignored without impacting the review. Putting this on hold for now, but I imagine this will gain a green plus before long. – Rhain ☔ ( he/him) 02:10, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
So I think I went through most of your suggestions a bit earlier than I anticipated. I also added Shincho Bunko in the infobox, and a See also section with The Selfish Gene in it. For the latter, I felt it relates to the book both in its similar title and its discussion of memes which Dawkins coined (and also found an IGN Italy source which mentions both works - in Further Reading). But if there are any more comments or concerns you have, then I’ll be available these next few days to address them. Thanks, PantheonRadiance ( talk) 05:10, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
