Merge to FFVIII and Chocobo articles - I do not believe the article has sufficient notability for its own article, and should be merged into those two articles and taken out of the topic.

Remove Chocobo World. It's just a minigame, not very needed (unlike the directly-related articles such as world and characters).

Comment - So Chocobo World was added to the topic, just because it achieved GA status, and not for the relevance to the topic? And now that it's lost that status, you're voting to remove it from the topic? This looks a lot like cherry picking. -

Comment -
Chocobo World has been flagged as requiring further citations, yet it is not clear at first glance (hunting for citation-needed flags) what is missing. What the article does need is a lot of cleanup to meet standards, particularly in the following areas:
Referencing - references need to be brought up to date
Development - merge in Audio section, expand.
Story - expand using information from existing cited sources
Gameplay - link through to existing cited sources and fill in the blanks as needed. Compact where possible.
I think these are minor issues that can be resolved to bring the article back up to GA status. It's a bit of work, but it's definitely doable in a short timeframe. The major delay would be getting the article relisted as GA to meet FT criteria.

Comment - I have proposed a merger of Chocobo World with Final Fantasy VIII. Chocobo World wont improve because it doesn't have enough reliable sourcing to get back to GA status, and will make a nice paragraph within the main FFVIII article.

Observation - Chocobo World wasn't even released as a stand alone game if memory serves me right. As a result, it really shouldn't have its own article. What about incorporating Chocobo World into
Minigames of Final Fantasy instead of
Final Fantasy VIII. After all, it is more of a minigame than a stand-alone game and doesn't belong in the main FFVIII article just as
Triple Triad doesnt. -

Update I have added Chocobo World as a section of minigames of Final Fantasy. I left out the audio, reception, and development sections because there were no citations and are not very notable. I am archiving the Chocobo World talk page and adding it to the minigames of Final Fantasy talk page. The chocobo world article has been changed to a redirect page and now points to chocobo world in the minigame article. Feel free to alter the chocobo world section if you wish. Chocobo World needs to be removed from the topic now. I dont know how to do that though. --

Keep now that Chocobo World is gone, all issues are addressed. I have put the reception section from Chocobo World into the Minigames article- it's useful content, and notable. --

Keep: Of course I'm nominating for keep. Should we wait for a consensus before removing chocobo world from the topic and closing this assessment? After all, its basically a no-brainer. There is nothing to contend about now. --
