==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 [[:Category:Fanlore_Policies|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 [[Fanlore:Featured Articles#Featured Article nomination requirements|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. [[Fanlore:Featured Articles#Nomination process|Featured Article Nomination process]] has additional information.
<pre>===[[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)</pre>
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:Fanlore Policy & Admin|Fanlore Policy & Admin]].

* '''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]]. --~~~~

==Current Nominations==
===[[Barbara Gordon/Dick Grayson]]===
Nominated by [[User:Kingstoken|Kingstoken]] on December 4, 2024. As of this writing the page has a good intro and no content flags. It has been a little bit since we featured anything from the Batman fandom, so I thought this one might be a nice choice.
: '''Yes''' [[User:Mrs. Potato Head|Mrs. Potato Head]] 21:51, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
: '''Yes''' -- [[User:WhatAreFrogs?|WhatAreFrogs?]] ([[User talk:WhatAreFrogs?|talk]]) 20:38, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
: '''Yes''' Looks good — it would be nice to see more fanart images on the page but this isn't a dealbreaker. - [[User:Castille|Castille]] ([[User talk:Castille|talk]]) 03:58, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
: '''Yes''' [[User:Faal|Faal]] ([[User talk:Faal|talk]]) 10:13, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
===[[Vila Restal]]===
Nominated by [[User:Mrs. Potato Head|MPH]] on December 4, 2024. As of this writing the page has a good intro and no content flags, though I would like to add a few more fan comments and fanfiction examples. Vila is an interesting [[Blake's 7]] character, an underdog with everyman characteristics.
:'''Yes''' -- [[User:Kingstoken|Kingstoken]] ([[User talk:Kingstoken|talk]]) 00:00, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
:'''Yes''' -- [[User:Erimia|Erimia]] ([[User talk:Erimia|talk]]) 00:45, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
:'''Yes''' -- [[User:WhatAreFrogs?|WhatAreFrogs?]] ([[User talk:WhatAreFrogs?|talk]]) 20:38, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
: '''Yes''' - [[User:Castille|Castille]] ([[User talk:Castille|talk]]) 03:58, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
===[[Dusttale]]===
Nominated by [[User:Walker21232123|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''' -- [[User:WhatAreFrogs?|WhatAreFrogs?]] ([[User talk:WhatAreFrogs?|talk]]) 20:38, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
: '''Hesitant Yes''' I put some suggestions on the talk page. https://fanlore.org/wiki/Talk:Dusttale [[User:Mrs. Potato Head|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. - [[User:Castille|Castille]] ([[User talk:Castille|talk]]) 03:58, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
