thread_title:  GA Status 

message: * (citation of decision) The current criteria this is a procedural keep. We cannot expect the current article to have information about gameplay, release, reception, etc., as the game currently has not been released. It does not lack such coverage, because such coverage does not exist. I think a good time to reassess on those grounds would perhaps be November, giving some time for reliable sources to process the game and for this article to reflect those.

thread_title: GA Reassessment

message: 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)

thread_title:  Request 

message: 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. Felix QW (talk) 19:38, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't remember suggesting a split for Metroid Dread. Was it some confusion? LucianoTheWindowsFan (talk) 19:41, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It is listed with your signature at WP:Proposed splits; however due to a lack of volunteers the backlog there is now 2 years, so you actually proposed it in June 2021. Unfortunately, the template that used to be provided at WP:Proposed splits did not actually ask the proposer to list a reason for the split, making it very hard for me now to moderate a discussion on the proposal independently.

replies: text: Ah yes, I did it during its announcement months before the GA reassessment nomination. LucianoTheWindowsFan (talk) 00:28, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

text: Oppose. The project has been referred to as a "revival" after it was revealed in 2021, and most of the development section for the game lists key details that would go onto appear in the final product. Anonymouseditor2k19 (talk) 21:44, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

text: Oppose - I've been meaning to give my opinion on this subject after coming across with it. No, i oppose to split the page. All of the info regarding the previous incarnations of Dread can be introduced here without issue. Roberth Martinez (talk) 02:02, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

text: Oppose. Now that the game is made after years of development hell the info regarding the game before its revival are not significant enough to warrant its own article, and it can be relegated to being mentioned in this very article. NanaOn-Sha (talk) 12:28, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed split 

message: 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)
