This article became a Good Article in 2007. Now it has numberous problems to it. Problems include:
:The Synopsis is too long and doesn't cite any references or sources.
:The Development history section is short and has an expansion tag on it.
:Two of the references,ref 7 and 8, need to be fixed up.
::There's a possibility I may have missed some other problems, but these problems might show that Deus Ex fails the Good Article criteria. Thanks lots. GamerPro64 (talk) 21:02, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
:::Refs 7 and 8 fixed right quick.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 03:20, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
::I've attempted trimming the synopsis to bare essentials (and doing that makes me want to go play that game again :-) --MASEM (t) 17:47, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Generally, it's thought to be unnecessary to cite synopses, unless they contain interpretative statements. --Malkinann (talk) 21:09, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
::Agreed, it's not usually necessary to cite synopses. My concern with this synopsis is that it wallows in unnecessary details which may cause the article to lose focus. Majoreditor (talk) 03:19, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
:::The Synopsis seems to be of decent length (not too long), though I've never played the game. I'll have a go at trimming it. — Deckiller 15:56, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
:::Some areas of the synopsis seemed a bit confusing; perhaps someone familiar with the storyline could go through and smooth it out a bit? — Deckiller 16:14, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
