This page lists active nominations for future featured articles. For general information about the featured article process, consult Fanlore:Featured Articles.

Nomination Criteria

When thinking of pages to nominate, try to focus on pages of interest that are well-developed (though not necessarily "finished" or perfect) and will spark interest in visitors and would-be editors.

A Featured Article nomination should fit the following minimum criteria:

  • The article should be thorough and have a solid amount of information about the topic.
  • It should follow Fanlore policies.
  • It should have a good first (or first two) paragraph(s) introducing the topic well. (These are used to spotlight the article on the main page.)
  • The article should not be flagged with Template:Stub, Template:ExpandArticle, or have headers with no content in them.
  • The page should be up to date, or as up to date as it can reasonably be.
  • It should not have been previously featured on the Fanlore main page.

For more detailed criteria, refer to Featured Article Nomination Requirements.

Adding a Nomination

To add a nomination, add a subsection with the format below in the 'Current nominations' section of this page. Featured Article Nomination process has additional information. 

===[[Page title]]===

Nominated by [[User:Username|]] on DATE. As of this writing, the page has a good intro and is reasonably comprehensive, with no content flags.

Please try not to truncate this - if the page doesn't fulfil one or more of the criteria listed above, consider whether this can be addressed before nominating the page.

Voting on a Nomination

Check out the sections below and add your approval, rejection or other comments. Make sure to bold the main word(s) in your vote: 'yes,' 'no,' 'hesitant yes,' and so on.

If you have reservations about the quality of a nominated article, explain your concerns as specifically as possible, with tangible suggestions, so others will be able to address your points. We encourage editors to follow up on their own suggestions, but improving a nominated article is not the sole responsibility of the original nominator or commenter. All editors are welcome to fix problems that have been flagged up and say the issue has been resolved.

An article needs at least four affirmative votes to successfully qualify as a Featured Article. A user voting 'hesitant yes' (or 'nearly', etc.) should clearly outline the edits needed to turn their vote into a full yes. A hesitant vote can be counted as an affirmative once these suggestions have been addressed.

If an article acquires three or more negative votes with no votes in favour, it may be disqualified before the three month voting period has ended. Nominees with split votes or active conversation will remain active at the discretion of Fanlore Policy & Admin.

Please don't forget to sign your comments ("~~~~" will insert your name and date)).

Some example votes with comments: 

* '''Yes.''' That looks great! --~~~~
* '''Yes.''' Good one! --~~~~
* '''Hesitant yes.''' Maybe that intro could be fleshed out a bit more? It doesn't really explain much. --~~~~
* '''No.''' This needs more [[PPOV]]. --~~~~

Please do not remove any nominations, or edit content signed by other users. Fanlore Policy & Admin and gardeners monitor this page and will archive or move nominations to the list of upcoming nominations as needed.

Dusttale

Nominated by Walker21232123 on December 7, 2024. As of this writing, the page has a good intro and no content flags. A Undertale AU would be interesting to be a feature article.

Yes -- WhatAreFrogs? (talk) 20:38, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
Hesitant Yes I put some suggestions on the talk page. https://fanlore.org/wiki/Talk:Dusttale Mrs. Potato Head 21:02, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
Nearly Good amount of content; however, I'm not familiar with the fandom and I feel that this page doesn't adequately explain the context or content of the AU for readers who are not already familiar with the fandom, and there are sections which need cleaning up/explaining. For example, I'm not sure what it refers to by the "takes" section, and the lede doesn't make it clear that there was originally a fanfic which inspired a fangame which then inspired the mass adoption of this AU in the fandom. - Castille (talk) 03:58, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
Maybe: it does to be a well filled out artilce, but I must admit as someone who does not know the fandom I found some of it a little confusing at times. If the intro could be made a little more newbie friendly I think it might be a good feature. -- Kingstoken (talk) 18:41, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Blank Space (Doctor Who vid)

Nominated by Kingstoken on December 20, 2024. As of this writing, the page has a good intro and no content flags. I thought this fun Doctor Who vid might be a good feature.
