Archie Comics was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||

Just saw the split idea in recent changes. It's probably a good idea as the current article size exceeds article size guidelines, and as the comment said, the article is about two different things - the company and the "archieverse" (is that a word?). What say you? Totnesmartin (talk) 08:36, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Make an article titled Archie franchise. WesleyDodds (talk) 02:41, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the ((Split)) tag as it appears the article is already split. Archie Andrews (comics) deals with the character Archie Andrews and related fictional matters, while Archie Comics deals with the company that publishes the comics. Some mention of the content of the comics is appropriate, and that is done in the Archie_Comics#Archie_Andrews section. The article now needs some work done to tidy it up - perhaps reorganise the sections, reduce the embedded lists, and source the statements. SilkTork *YES! 09:54, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
There used to be (perhaps still is) an adult comic book where the title lettering and characters were drawn in a similar style as Archie comics. It was originally called "Cherry Poptart", but I think, the artist had problems using the name "Poptart" and was then available as "Cherry". Should this be included with the section that includes Harvey Kurtzman?Jtyroler (talk) 03:59, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
So this article says John Goldwater created Archie, while the Archie Andrews (comics) article says it was Bob Montana. So, which is it? (Actually, I have a pretty good idea, but I'd like to avoid an edit war.)—Chowbok ☠ 21:47, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
"It starts with "Chick" Showing off for his new next door neighbor, the famous Betty Cooper." I have an issue with this phrasing. Betty may be well-known as a comic strip character, but the way this sentence is worded, it sounds like she's a celebrity within the context of the story. I think the words "the famous" should be removed. Anyone disagree? WaxTadpole (talk) 04:12, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
I don't know how you, Tenebrae, considered a restoration of your jumping to a conclusion that isn't there, an edit-war. So, I don't know why you would want me "Go to the talk page rather than edit-war, please" other than to show what a fool you are. There were NO spelling errors that you corrected. You correct tense changes that needed to be made (that is grammar; but failed to carry through out the article), and made personal style edits "The" inside Wikilinks to outside them & changed them to lowercase and changed other capitalization. But you caused your own error that AnomieBOT needed to fix: "(Fixing reference errors and rescuing orphaned refs ("tcj" from rev 553525956)". There isn't any redundancies, history indicates the various superhero attempts. Even if you consider them to be redundancies then you left plenty on your own. The superheroes section would be about its top heroes. Given that there were many attempts and some difference in leading heroes & teams in each of the attempts, the article needs to mention the various attempts. Spshu (talk) 18:15, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
With the pre-Silver Age return of superheroes in the late 1950s, Archie Publishing launched its "Archie Adventure Series" line with a new version of the Shield and the Fly and The Jaguar, two new characters.
Archie's Silver Age relauch of its superheroes under the Archie Adventure Series imprint and then the Mighty Comics imprints began with a new version of the Shield and two new characters the Jaguar and the Fly.

… broad-stroked imitation of the successful Marvel Comics style, with writer Jerry Siegel (co-creator of Superman) doing a hokey rendition of Stan Lee. Since they were touching on all the genre's cliches of the time, naturally, within a few months the heroes got together to form their own version of Marvel's Avengers.

Common nouns such as “university” and “president” should be capitalized only when used as part of a full name for a person, place or thing: The University at Buffalo is a research institution. The university is among the nation’s top research institutions. President John B. Simpson served as an administrator in California before coming to Buffalo. The president is a native of California and completed his bachelor’s degree there.
Perhaps a section called Pop Culture is needed but somehow we need to link the comic to its internet spawn. i.e.:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_search_engine And: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veronica_(search_engine) Internal links are not to be found. I had to exit Wikipedia and Google search to find these Wikipedia sites.MisterHOP (talk) 09:08, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
I think that it would be easier to read (or just more helpful) if the characters appeared in one point form list. Does anyone else agree with this opinion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dixon H. (talk • contribs) 23:12, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
