A featured topic (FT) is a collection of inter-related articles in which at least half are featured articles or featured lists. The remaining articles must be at least good quality.

A good topic (GT) is a collection of inter-related articles that are of a good quality (though are not necessarily featured articles) with a less stringent quality threshold than a featured topic.

This page is for the nomination of potential featured and good topics. See the featured and good topic criteria for criteria on both types of topic.

Before nominating a topic, nominators may wish to receive feedback by listing it at the Featured and good topics talk page. Nominators must be sufficiently familiar with the subject matter and sources to deal with objections during the FTC/GTC process. If you nominate something you have worked on, note it as a self-nomination. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the articles of the topic should consult regular editors of the articles prior to nomination. Nominators are expected to respond positively to constructive criticism and to make an effort to address objections promptly.

The featured and good topics coordinators Aza24, MaranoFan and Kyle Peake determine the timing of the process for each nomination. For a nomination to be promoted to FT or GT status, consensus must be reached for a group to be promoted to featured or good topic status. If enough time passes without objections being resolved, nominations will be removed from the candidates topic and archived.

To contact the FGTC coordinators, please leave a message on the FGTC talk page, or use the {{@FGTC}} notification template elsewhere.

Nomination procedure

[edit]

To create a new nomination use the form below (e.g., Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Saffron/archive1) and click the "Create new nomination" button.

Once the nomination page is created, remember to transclude it in the appropriate section below, to leave nomination templates on the talk pages of the articles nominated for the topic. For detailed instructions on how to nominate topics or add articles to existing topics, see Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Nomination procedure.


Supporting and objecting

[edit]

Please review all the articles of the nominated topic with the featured and good topic criteria in mind before deciding to support or oppose a nomination.

  • To edit nominations in order to comment on them, you must click the "edit" link to the right of the article nomination on which you wish to comment (not the overall page's "edit this page" link).
  • If you approve of a nomination, write '''Support''' followed by your reasons. Supports that clearly evaluate the criteria will be weighted more than those that do not.
  • If you oppose a nomination, write '''Oppose''' or '''Object''' followed by the reason for your objection. Each objection must provide a specific rationale that can be addressed. If nothing can be done in principle to fix the source of the objection, the objection may be ignored.
    • To withdraw an objection, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.

For a topic to be promoted to featured or good topic status, consensus must be reached that it meets the criteria. The FGTC coordinators are usually the ones to assess this consensus and close FGTC discussions. If there is a consensus to promote, the promote instructions are located here. If enough time passes without objections being resolved (at least one week), nominations will be removed from the candidates list and archived. Nominations will stay here for ten days if there is unanimous consent, or longer if warranted by debate.

Since joining the National Football League in 1921, over 1,800 players have played at least one regular season or playoff game for the Green Bay Packers. Many of the players were acquired through the NFL draft, with others being signed as free agents. Many Packers players have been recognized by the NFL, by the team itself and by news agencies for their on-field performance, which includes setting numerous NFL and team records. Packers players have helped the team become one of the most successful in NFL history.

Cohesive and complete topic about people who have played for the Green Bay Packers. All of the articles are included in {{Green Bay Packers}}. Meets all other criteria. -- « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:36, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good topic nominations

[edit]

Yeezus is the sixth studio album by American rapper Kanye West. The album took an experimental route on its release in 2013, incorporating an array of genres that included industrial, electro, and punk. Despite a divided public response, the album was widely acclaimed by critics and also topped the charts of seven countries worldwide. "Black Skinhead" and "Bound 2" were released as the two singles in 2013, both of which received music videos. Numerous album tracks were also promoted such as "On Sight" and "New Slaves", while West also embarked on The Yeezus Tour across North America, Europe, and Australia from 2013 to 2014.

Contributor(s): K. Peake and STATicVapor

Although the album and "Bound 2" were brought to GA status by STATicVapor years back, I have slowly but gradually worked on the other songs and tour to get them into this same status. This began with "Black Skinhead" as long ago as 2019 and the other album tracks were promoted over time, completed by the last nominee of the tour this very year of 2025! --K. Peake 10:08, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]


Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a group of American superhero films produced by Marvel Studios based on characters that appear in publications by Marvel Comics. The films include Iron Man 3 (2013) with Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man, Thor: The Dark World (2013) with Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) with Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) with Chris Pratt as Peter Quill / Star-Lord, Zoe Saldaña as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Vin Diesel as Groot, and Bradley Cooper as Rocket, the crossover film Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) with Downey, Hemsworth, Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle, Paul Bettany, and Anthony Mackie reprising their roles, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Pietro Maximoff and Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff, and Ant-Man (2015) with Paul Rudd as Scott Lang / Ant-Man. Evans appeared the most in the phase, starring or making cameo appearances in four of the films. The six films of the phase grossed over US$5.2 billion at the global box office. Phase Two, along with Phase One and Phase Three, constitutes "The Infinity Saga".

It's been a little while since the first phase of films was promoted, but I'm finally back with Phase Two of the MCU. Like Phase One, the topic encompasses the main phase article, plus each of the six films. -- ZooBlazer 17:00, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]


The 1956 World Professional Match-play Championship was a professional snooker tournament held from 9 January to 10 March 1956, with the final at the Tower Circus in Blackpool, England. It was the 1956 edition of the World Snooker Championship, first held in 1927. There were four participants. Fred Davis won his eighth and last world snooker title by defeating John Pulman 38–35 in the 73-frame final.

The topic includes all four players who participated in the Tournament. I don't think that there is any article missing. It would be a subtopic of World Professional Match-play Championship. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 11:23, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Graduation is the third studio album by American rapper Kanye West. The album became a large commercial success, reaching number one in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The impact was not left unnoticed as it was later certified seven-tuple platinum in the US, becoming an influential album across mainstream hip hop at large! The accompanying singles were released from 2007 until 2008 and brought much chart success for West, particularly one of his biggest hits "Stronger". Numerous album tracks also received significant attention, while West trekked across the world on the album's Glow in the Dark Tour.

Contributor(s): K. Peake and Bruce Campbell

After the main article in this topic became a GA from Bruce Campbell, I have worked a tireless one-man job on the singles, album tracks and tour since late 2022! They have now all become GA's, demonstrating a dedication from me in taking West's work from way back in 2007 into GA status across the board! --K. Peake 16:31, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Saint Kitts and Nevis at the Olympics for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:

  1. Saint Kitts and Nevis at the 2024 Summer Olympics

Getting the process going as Saint Kitts and Nevis at the 2024 Summer Olympics became a Good Article on 13 January. Armbrust The Homunculus 08:35, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The fourteenth series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who premiered on 11 May 2024, and aired through to 22 June. The marketing for the series refers to it as "Season One", following the production changes and the acquisition of Doctor Who's international broadcasting rights by Disney+. It is the fifth series led by Russell T Davies as head writer and executive producer and the first since his return to the show, having previously worked on it from 2005 to 2010. This series is the fourteenth to air since the programme's revival in 2005, and the fortieth season overall. The fourteenth series was announced with Davies' return for its 60th anniversary in 2023 and beyond, with Bad Wolf becoming a co-producer.

Me and TheDoctorWho have slowly gotten this topic over the past year and now its done, something something Alexander wept --Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 18:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The 2022 specials the British science fiction television series Doctor Who are three additional episodes that follow the programme's thirteenth series. The trio of specials comprises the show's yearly festive special, an Easter special, and a centenary special, which celebrated the BBC's one-hundredth anniversary. They are the final episodes to feature Jodie Whittaker in the titular role of The Doctor, the first woman to hold the position, and also sees the departure of Mandip Gill, who portrayed long-term companion Yasmin Khan, as well as Chris Chibnall, the Doctor Who showrunner.

Contributor(s): TheDoctorWho, OlifanofmrTennant

Over the last few months, myself, along with OlifanofmrTennant have improved this small series of articles to bring them up to GA standard. While a short topic, it comprehensively covers an overview of the specials as well as a more in-detail look at the three specials in their respective episode articles. Therefore, I believe this would make a great addition to Wikipedia's good topics. --TheDoctorWho (talk) 16:23, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mana series (3rd supplementary nomination)

[edit]

This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Mana series for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:

  1. Visions of Mana


Contributor(s): ProtoDrake, PresN

PresN created the Mana series topic in 2015, and believed it completed, but over the years it has been added to twice. Now, the latest series entry Visions of Mana has released and I managed to get the article through the GAN process within the three month limit, so it can be added to this topic. I didn't think I'd be so enthused about this game, but I have been, and I'll be more than happy if it can join its fellows in this topic. Also pinging @Judgesurreal777 and IDV: as they contributed to the first supplementary nomination with their work on Adventure of Mana. To those who weigh in on this nomination, thank you. --ProtoDrake (talk) 11:38, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hold until Echoes of Mana becomes GA TeapotsOfDoom (talk) 20:32, 12 November 2024 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE— jlwoodwa (talk) 03:22, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Again, support promotion- Echoes, having just been created, has 3 months to be promoted, and Zxcvbnm isn't showing much haste in working on it. This nomination should be closed as successful, and we can reconvene in February to either add Echoes or start an FLCR. --PresN 03:30, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Agree with PresN. I'm satisfied that the added content in the Secret of Mana article on the remake is sufficient. We can revisit in 3-6 months on the progress of Echoes, and either merge it back or start a FLCR. (Although in the name of saving buearucracy, just merge it back if it's not that close to GA-able.). SnowFire (talk) 22:02, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I can understand revisiting it months from now, but merging it back would be blatantly violating WP:WIAFT where it states "A topic must not cherry-pick only the best articles to become featured together." Merging something that nobody would have thought twice about being an article if it wasn't preventing a Good Topic is blatant cherry-picking.
    Honestly the page is probably GA-ready already, so if anyone wants to try reviewing it or state what remains to be done before it can be a GA, let me know. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 15:07, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    At a glance the development section is practically non-existant. Everything under it is just release info. The reception section while good at a glance inst great if you really dig in. I'm hesitant to say weather this would survive an AFD. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:56, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It would easily survive an AfD, even without much development info it got SIGCOV in Nintendo World Report, RPGFan, The Escapist, and Siliconera. I did notice an interview about the game I missed, so Development should be getting bulked up a bit shortly. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 12:38, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Leaving aside the ADF surviving assertion, there are about two thirds interviews by volume in the sources left on that article's talk page that I dug up and left about/on the main topic page in case someone wanted to create the article. So if someone actually wanted to, they could turn that article into something sound. --ProtoDrake (talk) 14:02, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Topic removal candidates

[edit]

Fails criterion 3.b as Tuvalu at the 2024 Summer Olympics is not a WP:GA, isn't being worked on, and is past the three month grace period (the Olympics ended on 11 August 2024). The article's recent GA nomination also failed. Armbrust The Homunculus 08:47, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Parachutes

[edit]

I really hate to be *that person* (especially since I don't really linger around the Topics space too much), but I regrettably don't think that this qualifies as being a Good Topic anymore due to the creation of pages for "Sparks" and the Parachutes Tour, the former having been created almost one year ago and the latter having been created almost two years back. While both articles have seen relatively consistent and recent editing by User:GustavoCza (who has also created the articles in question), neither seem like they are currently in any shape to be nominated for GA, and in any case it seems to be well beyond the three month grace period allotted for in WP:GTCRITERIA. I'm terribly sorry if I've made a mistake somewhere here. Leafy46 (talk) 02:06, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guitar Hero was demoted on 31 July 2024, there is no effort to change that, and without it the topic fails criterion 3.b. Armbrust The Homunculus 09:09, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delist – real shame this, hopefully someone works on the lead article soon. Idiosincrático (talk) 09:54, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm concerned that the GH article was delisted with no comments, and given I was the one that progressed it and the topic through GA and FL, got no notification of it (I have a huge watchlist so that could easily fall through). I'm not disagreeing with the issues about the article's problems but they were all readily fixable if I had been notified. --Masem (t) 13:49, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist: That's a bummer, I always thought this was a pretty cool / great topic. Hopefully someone steps up to work on it, and I'd be happy to let it be on hold if someone was interested in doing so, but alas, no sign of that at the moment. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:29, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails criterion 3.b as UEFA Euro 2024 final is not a WP:GA, isn't being worked on, and is past the three month grace period (the match was played on 14 July). Armbrust The Homunculus 09:00, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
