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.

Huon Peninsula campaign

From the lead: "The Huon Peninsula campaign was a series of battles fought in north-eastern Papua New Guinea in 1943–1944 during the Second World War. The campaign formed the initial part of an offensive the Allies launched in the Pacific in late 1943 and resulted in the Japanese being pushed north from Lae to Sio on the northern coast of New Guinea over the course of a four-month period."

A chance encounter today led to this nomination. I saw the Sattelberg article at the On This Day anniversaries section, and learnt to my pleasant surprise all of the articles in the campaign were GAs. I didn't include the Battle of Madang in this topic because I believe it fits better in the Markham, Ramu and Finisterre campaigns topic.

The red rock hares are four living species of rabbits in the genus Pronolagus found mostly in southern Africa. They are characterized by their red-furred limbs, grey-furred heads, short ears, and brown tails. These last two features are their most notable difference when compared to other African hares and rabbits. Red rock hares are largely nocturnal, feed on plants, and live among rocky kopjes. One fossil species in the genus is known.

Madonna videography

American singer Madonna has released 83 music videos, eleven concert tour videos, two documentary videos, four music video compilations, two music video box sets, four promotional videos, and four video singles. Nicknamed as the "Queen of Videos" or "Queen of MTV", her music videos were often considered by critics as works of art, depicting various social issues. Her early videos also received a significant academic attention.

I did it here: Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Victorious 2.0: More Music from the Hit TV Show, the right place to discuss the topic. If the supporters showed an empathic support, it is up to them, but we have had several albums that have not been promoted to GT or being demoted from GT due to them lack of all blue-link related articles. In fact, in the nomination, only one person mentioned it: "Support While the cover song could be added, better just recognize what's done already", deliberately going against the purpose of good topics. Victorious shouldn't be an exception for the rules set. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 21:13, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just thought it made sense only putting the songs made for the show. Besides, the one other blue link on the track list that you highlighted doesn't even mention Victorious in the article. igordebraga ≠ 19:01, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The song is a cover of the Simple Minds original, it doesn't have its own article. The song's article doesn't have anything remotely related to the topic, the Victorious show/album isn't even mentioned in the article. Thus it's inclusion in the topic would be out of place. I reference the Taylor's version topics, which despite the album having covers of her originally published songs, are not included in the topic as they don't have their own articles. There's a similar case with the Chemical Romance album topic, it doesn't include a cover of the brief Romance guitar piece for the same reasons. Idiosincrático (talk) 00:42, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are saying too many things at the same time. First, cover versions don't requiere their own articles, so I don't get the point. Not every cover becomes as relevant as the original song to have an independent article. But in itself, it is not a reason not to mention the versión in the original song. The article not discussing the song is not a reason not to discuss the song? I found sources discussing it (this also applies to Vol. 1 since you pointing that discussion here instead of discussing it there individually), so I don't see why the article cannot discuss it. The Taylor's Versions are irrelevant here. The TV albums are reworks of the original album. Taylor Swift is covering her own albums, so it is a new product. Thus, those re-releases are new topics that, at the time, didn't mean to be part of the original idea. You would have a point with Romance if Islands (The xx song) and Love Don't Live Here Anymore weren't part of other topics. What seams to be happening is that it exists a generalized idea that since "X" is a cover version that wasn't as important as the original version, and "X" is one of many other versions recorded by others, then nominators don't want to included those songs accordingly on the topic, despite (in the case of albums) they were meant to be part of the final product and were most likely promoted by the artist. Tbhotch^™ (CC BY-SA 4.0) 01:46, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Islands has a section about Shakira's cover, ditto Love Don't Live Here Anymore for Madonna's. As one enters the song article from the album topic, it's clear why it's there. The Simple Minds one doesn't even mention Victorious. It's on a whole different level of importance/relevance, and thus it doesn't seem essential. igordebraga ≠ 14:11, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I_Want_You_Back#Victorious_version has its own section too. I'm sorry but you can't have both. You can't go to Vol. 1 and say that you oppose the delist there because of the same reasons at Vol. 2 and contradict yourself here saying that there is no subsection here, therefore it also has to be kept. Lacking it's subsection is not a reason to not include it. It simply means no one has worked on it. Tbhotch^™ (CC BY-SA 4.0) 16:45, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I notified it at the topic's page, the venue where such discussions take place. Reviewing the nomination, no one mentioned the cover, indicating it was completely overshadowed, not discussed. You are also confusing WP:NOTABILITY with WP:NOTEWORTHYness, since I_Want_You_Back#Victorious_version does exist and shows how notable/noteworthy the cover was. Just to cite an example of many delisted/not promoted album good topics, refer to Wikipedia:Featured and good topic removal candidates/Celebration (Madonna album)/archive1.

Delist: While I sympathize heavily with Shoot for the Stars here, I don't really like the precedent being of "we don't need to GA covers", given how out-of-control that can become. Say if, one day, She's So Unusual gets put up for GT. Would a nominator be able to say that the articles for "Money Changes Everything" and "When You Were Mine" don't need to be GAs, simply because they are covers? Or that a GT for Use Your Illusion II wouldn't need "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" just because it was originally written by Bob Dylan? Of course not. While the Victorious cover of "I Want You Back" may not be as well-known as the original, it's clearly known enough that it has its own subsection in the article for that song, and the Victorious version has even charted in the US.

Now, I'm not entirely sure how I would approach a case like "Don't You (Forget About Me)", where the song in question doesn't have a dedicated subsection in the article. Maybe there really isn't anything to write about the Victorious cover of that song, and thus it can slip by like any other song from an album which doesn't have a dedicated page. In this case, however, I find myself agreeing with Tbhotch's assessment that this particular topic is incomplete as it stands. Leafy46 (talk) 22:56, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
