Ruddy Road

Remove featured article status

1. YoYo (talk) The page looks extraordinarily average to me, in content and length. The page basically boils down to a table of content that is similar information being repeated over and over again, and there are links that lead to pages that do not even exist on it. Space is not used efficiently here, and there are many smaller things like enemies being listed without their quantities for example. I do not believe this article at all represents the "best the Super Mario Wiki has to offer" (am I structuring this right?)
2. OmegaRuby (talk) While it may seem like a benchmark for how the locations of 'Color Splash should be formatted, I do agree - the page is pretty average and on par with the rest of the locations of the game. It's a fine article, but not worthy of being showcased alongside the best of the best this Wiki has for readers.

Keep featured article status

1. Paper Plumm (talk) When looking at requirements that define an article to be featured Ruddy Road not only succeeds at passing every requirement to be a featured article it excels at it. Every inch of what is in this level is covered quite thoroughly. The issue that seems to be plaguing those discontent with its status is that it is too similar in structure to other articles that are not at featured status. So, are we to raise our standards of what make a featured article solely because it's from a series of articles that are all of good quality? If say this level of quality was applied to say an area from another Mario game yet all others of it were bad would that be enough to justify it being featured status? An article does not need to shine out from the crowd for it to be considered featurable.
