Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates

Featured and good topics in Wikipedia

A featured topic (FT) is a collection of inter-related articles in which at least half are featured articles or featured lists. The remaining articles must be at least good quality.

A good topic (GT) is a collection of inter-related articles that are of a good quality (though are not necessarily featured articles) with a less stringent quality threshold than a featured topic.

This page is for the nomination of potential featured and good topics. See the featured and good topic criteria for criteria on both types of topic.

Before nominating a topic, nominators may wish to receive feedback by listing it at the Featured and good topics talk page. Nominators must be sufficiently familiar with the subject matter and sources to deal with objections during the FTC/GTC process. If you nominate something you have worked on, note it as a self-nomination. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the articles of the topic should consult regular editors of the articles prior to nomination. Nominators are expected to respond positively to constructive criticism and to make an effort to address objections promptly.

The featured and good topics coordinators Aza24, MaranoFan and Kyle Peake determine the timing of the process for each nomination. For a nomination to be promoted to FT or GT status, consensus must be reached for a group to be promoted to featured or good topic status. If enough time passes without objections being resolved, nominations will be removed from the candidates topic and archived.

To contact the FGTC coordinators, please leave a message on the FGTC talk page, or use the {{@FGTC}} notification template elsewhere.

Nomination procedure

To create a new nomination use the form below (e.g., Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Saffron/archive1) and click the "Create new nomination" button.

Once the nomination page is created, remember to transclude it in the appropriate section below, to leave nomination templates on the talk pages of the articles nominated for the topic. For detailed instructions on how to nominate topics or add articles to existing topics, see Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Nomination procedure.

Supporting and objecting

Please review all the articles of the nominated topic with the featured and good topic criteria in mind before deciding to support or oppose a nomination.

To edit nominations in order to comment on them, you must click the "edit" link to the right of the article nomination on which you wish to comment (not the overall page's "edit this page" link).
If you approve of a nomination, write '''Support''' followed by your reasons. Supports that clearly evaluate the criteria will be weighted more than those that do not.
If you oppose a nomination, write '''Oppose''' or '''Object''' followed by the reason for your objection. Each objection must provide a specific rationale that can be addressed. If nothing can be done in principle to fix the source of the objection, the objection may be ignored.
- To withdraw an objection, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.

For a topic to be promoted to featured or good topic status, consensus must be reached that it meets the criteria. The FGTC coordinators are usually the ones to assess this consensus and close FGTC discussions. If there is a consensus to promote, the promote instructions are located here. If enough time passes without objections being resolved (at least one week), nominations will be removed from the candidates list and archived. Nominations will stay here for ten days if there is unanimous consent, or longer if warranted by debate.

Pokémon Stadium 2

Contributor(s): Pokelego999, Andrzejbanas, Cukie Gherkin

I was a bit torn up about whether or not to make Pocket Monsters Stadium the primary article, since it's the first game in the series and a series article isn't possible. I decided on Stadium since it is arguably more well-known, but I'm willing to swap this around if need be. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 15:54, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contributor(s): Statik N, Chchcheckit

First, I want to thank Statik N for getting Spit up to GA status in 2017; although the article has been largely rewritten since (in my longwinded and still ongoing attempts to get it to FA status), this GTC would not exist without the initial effort. Second, I want to thank the GA reviewers: Tbhotch (Spit), BarntToust (Oracle), Voorts and MFTP Dan (Until the End), Cambalachero (Funeral for Yesterday and I've Failed You), History6042 (In the Black), and Dxneo (Fire).

Working on this has been both the best and worst part of my life thus far, and I would not be here today without Until the End and Funeral for Yesterday, who in 2023 respectively gave me the strength to fight against a shit life situation I was in, and give me the confidence to be/express my true self and not accept living in constant grief. Regardless of what media has and will likely continue to define them by, Kittie were always more than just one album; as evidenced by this GTC, they made six more, all of which are at GA status now (discography also FL) and cover the relevant scope. --Chchcheckit (talk) 21:34, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speak Now

Speak Now is the third studio album by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on October 25, 2010. Solely written by Swift, Speak Now was conceived as a loose concept album about the unsaid things she wanted to deliver to the subjects of her songs. The album blends country pop, pop rock, and power pop music styles, incorporating acoustic instruments, electric guitars, dynamic drums, and orchestral strings. Speak Now peaked atop the charts and received multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States.

Then I'll Be Happy (EP)

Then I'll Be Happy is a collaborative extended play (EP) by the American musicians Glaive and Ericdoa, released on October 6, 2021, by Interscope Records and Listen to the Kids. After teasing collaborations with each other on social media, the best friends and frequent collaborators released two singles for the EP. The EP moves away from the hyperpop sound the duo was known for in the past, favoring a more traditional pop sound.

First Coast News

First Coast News is the newsroom of television stations WTLV (channel 12) and WJXX (channel 25), the NBC and ABC affiliates in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. It is owned with the stations by Tegna Inc. The First Coast News brand was first used by the stations on April 27, 2000, in the wake of Gannett's acquisition of WJXX the month before and consequent expansion of what had primarily been WTLV's news department.

The two stations share a common newsroom, which also has its own article (which in turn is partially transcluded back into their articles). This is a unique structure for US television articles, but it's one likely to be repeated in this very market if I do WFOX-TV + WJAX-TV + Action News Jax. WJXX was the first to become a GA in 2022, but it was not possible to write WTLV as a GA until last year due to newspaper availability restrictions. It was just promoted today. --Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 18:13, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor Who (2005–present)

Doctor Who is a British science fiction television show which began in 1963 and resumed airing in 2005, after having ceased broadcasting in 1989. The revived version of the show, though a continuation, made many changes from the original series, most notably longer episodes and more self-contained episodes, interspersed with occasional multi-part stories, structured into loose story arcs, instead of multi-episode serials of shorter length. 14 series and various specials have been broadcast as of February 2025, with another series close to broadcast.

Contributor(s): Alex 21, Chompy Ace, DoctorWhoFan91, Glimmer721, OlifanofmrTennant, TheDoctorWho

A number of editors have improved the articles relating to the revived series to GA status. This topic is a comprehensive set of all of its series and quasi-series up till now, which together meet the criteria listed at WP:GT?.(~~Series 15 is at PR, but it's basically done, so I'll formally close it by tomorrow~~ edit-peer review done) They have similar layouts and are connected through, links, categories, and templates.

It's related bcs you are editing 20 pages which are linking correctly via a redirect. And the 20 pages don't need to be changed with haste, bcs they are temporary until this passes or fails. You bring up MoS to say that those changes were needed-but we are not in article space, the pages were talk pages. I WP:IARed it for the time being, bcs only one editor brought it up at the moment. Maybe my mistake was not realising you would throw a temper tantrum once again, and leave 19 passive aggressive edit summaries. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 21:01, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
