FT articles to be considered[edit]
I am planning to take Satyajit Ray who was an Indian filmmaker for FT where his article is FA and has got 2 FLs (filmography and awards). One of his directed film Pather Panchali is also an FA. Can his films be included under FT? Please explain. - Vivvt (Talk) 08:30, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
- Think of it like a pyramid- the top level is Satyajit Ray. The next level down is filmography and awards (of Ray)- the articles/lists directly having to do with Ray. A third level would be the articles/lists having to do with the second-level articles and lists- so, the movies that make up his filmography, and anything (there's probably nothing) related to his awards. You can make a topic that's just the top two levels- that's three articles, so it's big enough to count. You can also make a topic that's the top three levels (or just the filmography and the level below that, if you wanted)- but if you do so, you'd have to include every film with an article that's part of his filmography. Up to you if you want to do that. --PresN 13:15, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

- My question was mainly related to his films. Do we have to bring in all the movies at the same time or one my one? Also, only one of his 39 films is FA and rest are not even GA. - Vivvt (Talk) 15:29, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
- It would have to be all the films or none of the films- you don't get to pick just the ones that are convenient. If you don't want to wait until you get 38 GAs (and no one would blame you for that!), then the topic wouldn't include any of the film articles themselves, just the list of them all. That said... now that I actually look at his article, the three-article topic as proposed wouldn't work either. You described him as "an Indian filmmaker", and he certainly was foremost that... but I'd be uncomfortable supporting a topic nomination titled "Satyajit Ray" that included nothing about the books/stories he wrote- given that there's 3 nonfiction book articles, 4 character articles, and a article about his written works (semi-focused more on the characters rather than the works themselves?), it's clear that his written works were a major part of his life, even if not the biggest part, so I'd want to see a "Satyajit Ray bibliography" list as a part of the topic as well- perhaps the "Literary creations of Satyajit Ray" article could be turned into one? --PresN 23:42, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

A query[edit]
Leonardo DiCaprio is a good article, and his filmography and accolades are featured lists. However, DiCaprio owns a production company, Appian Way Productions, which does not have an article of its own as it's produced a few films, and it would be too soon to create an article about that. I want to ask if it is okay to exclude that from the topic. -- Frankie talk 14:19, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
- The feature topic criteria only apply to articles that currently exist, so it's okay to exclude it for now.--十八 20:04, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
User indef blocked after !voting[edit]
Hi, DoDung2001 !voted at Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/York City F.C./addition2, but was indef blocked shortly after. Is this !vote still valid? Mattythewhite (talk) 10:26, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
- Is there a reason as to why he was blocked? GamerPro64 14:07, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
- For edit warring using a sockpuppet. Mattythewhite (talk) 14:10, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
- I think that's enough reason to strike his vote. Thank you for bringing this up. GamerPro64 14:21, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Former article part of an existing topic[edit]
Hurricane Easy (1951) is part of the Wikipedia:Featured topics/1951 Atlantic hurricane season, but the article was recently merged. I forget how to remove it as part of the topic, whether it needs a formal removal candidacy, or just a mere update to the topic. The topic still passes the good topic criteria, so nothing should be majorly changed. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:11, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

I was wondering what is the status of the above FT since one of the articles was demoted from featured status? —IB [ Poke ] 19:28, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
Okay so since the article was demoted on March 13, the article has three months to reach at least GA status before it will have to be taken for review and possibly demoted.Scratch that this topic was demoted years ago. GamerPro64 19:37, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
