Featured and Good topics in Wikipedia A featured topic is a collection of inter-related articles that are of a good quality (though are not necessarily featured articles).A good topic 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 good and featured topic criteria for criteria on both types of topic. If you would like to ask any questions about your topic and the featured topic process before submitting it, visit Wikipedia talk:Featured topic candidates. Before nominating a topic, nominators may wish to receive feedback by listing it at Featured topic questions. 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 topic director, GamerPro64, or his delegate Juhachi, 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. You may want to check previous archived nominations first: |

Nomination procedureTo create a new nomination use the form below (e.g., Wikipedia:Featured 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, and to create appropriate books (see Book:Jupiter for a good example). For detailed instructions on how to nominate topics or add articles to existing topics, see Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Nomination procedure. Supporting and objectingPlease review all the articles of the nominated topic with the featured topic criteria in mind before deciding to support or oppose a nomination. Following the creation of the book, NoomBot will create a book report (see example) containing details about cleanup issues (only those that have been flagged with cleanup templates, so it may not pick up everything), and various tools to inspect external links or resolve disambiguation pages. It can be a good idea to check the report and inspect links to see if certain articles need some cleanup (doing this before the nomination is even better).
For a topic to be promoted to featured topic status, consensus must be reached that it meets the criteria. 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. |

Updating to include the most recent Category 5 (Patricia) and removing a storm that was downgraded to Category 4 (1959). Both are GAs so the ratio of GA/FA doesn't change and the topic can retain Featured status. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 21:27, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support. As the GA reviewer for Patricia, I can attest that it fits the criteria to be included in the topic. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:02, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support - looks good, agree with both the addition and the removal. --PresN 18:44, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

It's very close to a featured topic, and with some more Spanish research, I'll likely get Bret to featured status, but that could take some time. Otherwise, the topic should be good enough to be a good topic, and I hope you all think so too. Every article is good or featured, and there won't be any additions anytime soon. TD 1 is notable enough that it likely won't be merged, so are all of the others. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:16, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Over the course of the last couple of years I've been sporadically working on Star Trek articles, and this is the first time that an entire season has been taken to Good Article status, so hopefully this should be the first Good Topic for the Star Trek Wikiproject. The featured article comes from a time prior to my work on the project. --Miyagawa (talk) 17:18, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

When I nominated this topic for GT last year, I felt pretty confident that it was finalized, and that no more articles would be created. I was wrong, as it turns out! ProtoDrake proved himself again a master of finding Japanese sources to build a GA for the free-to-play mobile game Rise of Mana, and when Square Enix went ahead and released another mobile game in the series this February, IDV and Judgesurreal777 outdid themselves in creating an article for the mobile game Adventures of Mana the day after it was released, and getting it to GA within a few weeks. (Also, I got Seiken Densetsu 3 to FA in a slow-moving attempt to get the topic to FT level).
Anyways, we now have 2 more GAs that need to be added to the now-once-again-complete topic. I won't say that we'll never be here again... but it should, at least, be a while. --PresN 18:18, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

This nomination is to add two additional storms that formed in the off-season over the past two years. As both are now good articles, the topic should be expanded to include them. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:59, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
- Obvious sup, though the topic has more TS than H. Nergaal (talk) 05:41, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support no concerns, although some of these really should be sent to FAC. Titoxd(?!?) 09:24, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Already a Good Topic. This is to add the above GA to the topic. There is also List of songs in Guitar Hero Live which would eventually need to be added but I have not had a chance to get that up to spec for GLs (though it's close, and really only needs a bit of reception info and source cleanup to process at GL), however, it's also not on the same timing issue as it was created much later after the game article. --MASEM (t) 01:06, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- To add just now I've brushed up and put List of songs in Guitar Hero Live into the FLC queue, though don't know how that timing will work with this. --MASEM (t) 01:29, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- Seems like a fine addition, but TBH List of songs in Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s should be FLRCed and merged. Nergaal (talk) 05:08, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- If we are talking about that, and considering this is likely to stay a Good Topic (rather than Featured), would you recommend the same on GH: Aerosmith and GH: Metallica? (Of the other games, the track lists for DJ Hero are a bit hefty and make sense to keep separate). And to do this, I would just need to take the FLs to FLR to delist before merging? --MASEM (t) 04:09, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- Update - List of songs in Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s has just been demoted from FL status. What's going to be done about that? GamerPro64 01:28, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

All of the articles are good, and there shouldn't be any additional articles, mostly due to lack of information. However, it's not inconceivable that 3B and 4A could get them, especially if local sources are used. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:03, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

I am nominating this topic for removal as it has passed its retention period for Spectre (2015 film), which has not achieved at least GA status more than three months after its release, so the topic is no longer complete, thus failing criteria 1(d). GamerPro64 16:00, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
Comment: The article in question is currently at GAN. ツ FrB.TG (talk) 19:48, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

I am nominating this topic for removal as it has passed its retention period for Repentless, which has not achieved at least GA status three months after the album's release, so the topic is no longer complete, thus failing criteria 1(d). GamerPro64 19:51, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
