Just like Lady Dimitrescu, I would am about to fix most of the sources and add a bit (if I can find more) and send it the article to GAN. Thank you for the creation. GlatorNator (ᴛ) 13:25, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notability concerns[edit]

I'm not going to make any actions as of now, but I noticed this article being a GA candidate and went to check its notability. I have some major concerns about whether it passes WP:GNG. This article from PCGamer is used as a major secondary source, but it is largely quoting fans or the game's developer (WP:PRIMARY). I couldn't particularly find independent commentary on him there. The Shacknews article is also a simple announcement, with only a small statement that, "His sudden state as Dead by Daylight’s first openly gay character might be jarring to some that have been playing the game for a long time, but for many, it will likely come as a welcome surprise, or not affect much at all." It doesn't even really nail down what its author's opinion is.

Ultimately it's really hard to find any sources that are not mostly or entirely primary and I'm not sure any exist. The article has been built up almost totally based on primary sources, so like many fictional articles, it's going into FANDOM territory. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:11, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, for the record, to GlatorNator, I certainly don't think a similar issue exists with Lady D. There are entire articles solely about her and her significance to LGBTQ representation amongst other things. I think it really shows what true SIGCOV looks like in an article and contrasts with the lack of coverage in this one. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:19, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense. Striked. GlatorNator (ᴛ) 16:33, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
