*I would support this, but why we don't check something more mystical, like the Chaos Emeralds or the Master, wouldn't that be more interesting? [[User:Luma.dash|Luma.dash]]
 
**Voting for this article won't stop either of those articles from being featured. You can start fact-checking and typo-fixing on them if you want to nominate them. {{User:Shadowunleashed13/Sig}} 15:09, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
 
*Sonamyfan, I hope you do realize that you're supposed to vote based on the quality of the article, not of the game. {{User:Shadowunleashed13/Sig}} 14:15, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
 
*Any article nominated is of sufficient quality that I also go with what the article about not just the quality of the article, if I find no problems I will give it my support. {{User:Sonamyfan666/Signature}}
 
*Sonamyfan, your vote literally does not make sense. You're rejecting a good article only because of the game the character originated from. Not only is that biased, but that's also assuming that the article is trash. Either give a valid reason or your vote will be removed for being biased. - {{User:BlueSpeeder/Signature}} 20:01, July 10, 2015 (UTC)
 
*No it's not as I said before any article nominated then I believe it is of sufficient quality to be featured. So Instead I look at other things such as what the character/object is from or if we had one just like it for selection. So how is that biased Blue? Featured articles will get people to read more pages about what the featured one is about so rather then let a stain like 06 or Lost World get coverage why not let it go to say something more dersevering like Sonic Underground or Sonic and the Black Knight. {{User:Sonamyfan666/Signature}}

It's a nice long page with lots or references, and factual information about Amy.
