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.

Past Nominations

Current Nominations

Composite Sonic the Hedgehog vs Composite Son Goku

Nominated by RottKFan on August 29, 2024. As of this writing, the page has a good intro and is with no content flags. Writing a page about a death battle fanfic is not so easy as nearly all the featured pages about fanfic are not about death battle genre fanfic.

Not Yet: I feel like this needs a little more work before featuring. As someone who doesn't know the fandom or the context I found the intro confusing. Plus it only has two reaction/reviews and in no way explains why this fic is influential -- Kingstoken (talk) 08:57, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
Not Yet: The fic type seems to have an enthusiastic fandom having had a quick look at the Fandom.com link, so would be an interesting piece of fandom to have an article featured on, but I feel like this article needs a fair bit more information, both context and fandom, to be ready. Cookies and chaos (talk) 12:11, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Hesitent Yes Feels a bit short to me -- WhatAreFrogs? (talk) 20:48, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Bad Things

Nominated by Kingstoken on October 14, 2024. As of this writing the page has a good intro and no content flags. This is a meta vid from Teen Wolf fandom that might make an interesting feature.

Yes. Mrs. Potato Head 02:09, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
Yes Rossi (talk) 14:44, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Hesitent Yes Are there any comments/reactions from 2017 or later and a current total number of views that could be added? -- WhatAreFrogs? (talk) 20:48, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
Added YouTube views, and a comment from 2022 -- Kingstoken (talk) 21:20, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Tarsus IV

Nominated by Kingstoken on November 7, 2024. As of this writing the page has a good intro and no content flags. This is a trope in Star Trek fandom that might be interesting to feature.

Yes - I'm curious as to who Hoshi Sato is/was since they're mentioned a couple of times on the page, but that's not critical to the page being a feature. Rossi (talk) 15:43, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Hoshi Sato is a character from the show Star Trek: Enterprise, we don't have a page for them yet, but here is their entry on Memory Alpha -- Kingstoken (talk) 17:22, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Yes Looks quite extensive, but same with SPN, I feel like we had a lot of ST articles features this year already? -- WhatAreFrogs? (talk) 20:48, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
I checked and we've had two Trek featured articles this year (Banned from Argo and The Third Verdict), three if you include the Shore Leave convention. so maybe we could push this one til next year? -- Kingstoken (talk) 21:02, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Crab Sandwiches

Nominated by Mrs. Potato Head 03:56, 16 November 2024 (UTC) on November 15, 2024. This is a classic long Starsky & Hutch story known for being both very well-written and extremely sad.

Yes: that does sound really sad -- Kingstoken (talk) 11:17, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
Yes: a friend of mine knew Dawn and says that she was one of the best fanfic writers of S&H and Professionals in the last forty years. I think this page would be a good tribute and it is good to have S&H featured prominently on fanlore.GeoffA (talk) 11:33, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
