Fanlore:Featured Article Nominations
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. (Add other comments here)
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.

Current Nominations
Invader Zim
Nominated by PictoChatCyberBully on 2025-03-25 07:49 (UTC). As of this writing, this article has a good intro and is reasonably comprehensive, with no content flags.
- Yes: -- Kingstoken (talk) 09:49, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Yes: -- SecurityBreach (talk) 17:15, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
- Yes - but there's a messed-up reference at the very bottom of the page. I'm not sure what it's meant to be or where it's supposed to go. Sobqjmv sphinx (talk) 21:34, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- I fixed the reference at the bottom of the page and moved it to the correct spot in the article, I think -- Kingstoken (talk) 14:24, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
Fannish Hotlines
Nominated by MPH on March 9, 2025. I think it's a fun page for a wide-reaching topic about the monetization of fans and fandom. It displays pre-internet marketing that looks so crass and obvious but possibly only accentuates some things today that will make people in the future roll their eyes, plus... 1980s hair! MPH 22:47, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
- Yes: so strange to think that you would have to explain to the younger generation what "900" numbers were -- Kingstoken (talk) 19:22, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Maybe: My main issue with the article at the minute is that it's very US-centric. Even the way the lede is written assumes the reader is a USAmerican by going straight into talking about 1-900 numbers, and only mentions right at the end that 1-900 is US-exclusive and that other countries had their own. I'm wondering if there's any examples outside the US we could add? I'm also curious about more recent instances of this and how they've changed? A quick search brings up this article Doctor Who Series 13: promotional team releases the Doctor’s phone number in 2021. -- OfMonstersAndWerewolves (talk) 22:51, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
Run Boy Run
Nominated by Kingstoken on March 12, 2025. As of this writing, the page has a good intro and no content flags. I thought this one might a good one to feature, it a good example of a metavid that is trying to highlight some of the issues in canon.
- Yes: I added some wikilinks, and am voting "yes." Nice choice. MPH 14:36, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
The Draco Trilogy
Nominated by Sobqjmv sphinx on 14 March 2025. As of this writing, the page has a good intro and is reasonably comprehensive, with no content flags.
- Yes Always an interesting topic. (I reworked the intro, added a bunch of wikilinks, explained some more.) It would be great if we could find some fanart. MPH 14:30, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
Sidney Crosby
Nominated by Sobqjmv sphinx on 15:49, 17 March 2025 (UTC). As of this writing, the page has a good intro and is reasonably comprehensive, with no content flags.
- Almost: I reworked the intro and moved the professional dates and things to its own section, as they aren't fannish. Then I added a small bit about it being Hockey RPF, and some fun bits about tropes. I think the intro could use one more addition to both make it longer, and to perk it up fannishly. It's not a fandom I know at all, but perhaps more fanart than the one at the bottom of the page? MPH 16:16, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Not Quite Yet: I agree with MPH about the intro, but also I think the artilce needs more fannish content overall, like it seems like a lot of the tropes sections talks about Crosby will do this or Crosby will do that and then throws in at the end saying this will be incorporated into fics. I want to know more about fannish interpretations of him, is there any disconnect between the RPF version of him and his public persona? Also, is there anything else fans do in the fandom around Crosby? I'm pretty sure it can't just be RPF. -- Kingstoken (talk) 17:52, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
