Talk:Big Joe

Nomination for featured status
Big Joe is a character with a good balance of substantial (and surprising) lore with a high number of appearances for an NPC, and this page covers both. It has a range of images with different functions, and although the screenshots aren't necessarily complete with respect to his appearances, I think the gallery fulfils the purpose of showing the various angles of the character visually. As a featured article, the article highlights a fan-favourite character and gives Xenogears some love.

I'm undecided on whether it should be public or hidden. The fact that Big Joe has so much lore is often considered a spoiler; however, it's below the entire story section, so anyone going that far down the page would presumably not mind that much about spoilers.

 * One issue I have with the page is that the "lore" section is formatted entirely differently than basically any other page on the wiki. But once that's fixed, I see no issue with this being a featured article. LocalTheorist (talk) 22:16, 16 August 2023 (EDT)
 * Big Joe might just be a case where an exception makes sense. The lore section is meant for stuff that isn't part of the character's main arc, but still somewhat interesting, and that's exactly what we've got here. He just has so much of that, in such detail no less, that a bullet list wouldn't be appropriate here. Personally, I'm fine with it the way it is. I think this article is feature-worthy. Doesn't have a ton of images, but for Xenogears it's probably enough. Plus this was the very first mainspace article on the wiki - excluding the main page, of course.
