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.

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)
Not yet, needs updating with his recent fall from popularity due to politics as well as more example notable fanworks and other fannish content Cesy (talk) 06:42, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
Yes: I know nothing about Hockey or this person, but the article looks extensive. -- WhatAreFrogs? (talk) 20:32, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Equilibrium (Star Trek: TOS story by PSW)

Nominated by Kingstoken on April 13, 2025. As of this writing, the page has a good intro and is reasonably comprehensive, with no content flags. I thought this might be a good feature, I don't think we have ever featured anything McCoy focused. (I know we had a Trek FA at the beginning of the year, but if we approve this one I think there would be about 6 months between them.)

Yes MPH 01:39, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
Yes -- WhatAreFrogs? (talk) 20:32, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
Yes: Good choice! SecurityBreach (talk) 17:46, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Sleeping Beauty (Disney)

Nominated by Kingstoken on April 28, 2025. As of this writing, the page has a good intro and is reasonably comprehensive, with no content flags. We've had a dedicated editor working almost exclusively on the page for this small fandom and I think it should be featured.
