Wikipedia:Featured topic removal candidates

Removing Good and Featured Topics in Wikipedia If you feel a topic on Wikipedia:Featured topics or a topic on Wikipedia:Good topics should no longer be there, then this is the place to nominate it for demotion. Only topics that do not adhere to the good or featured topic criteria should be listed. Objections raised must be actionable. Do not nominate topics that have recently been promoted (such complaints should have been brought up during the candidacy period on Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates), or topics that have recently survived a removal attempt—such nominations are likely to be removed summarily. Once a topic has been nominated on this page for ten days, it will be removed from the list of featured topics if the consensus is to remove, and added to the list of former featured topics. All discussions will be logged at Wikipedia:Featured topic removal candidates/archive.

Nomination procedure Place {{FTRCmain|ExampleTopicName|X}} or {{GTRCmain|ExampleTopicName|X}} (as appropriate) on the talk page of the main article of the topic, where X is the desired archive number. From there, click on the "add a comment" link. Add ===ExampleTopicName=== and the topic's box copied from Wikipedia:Featured topics/ExampleTopicName. Below it, write your reason for nominating the topic. Note which of the featured topic criteria that the topic fails to meet. Place {{Wikipedia:Featured topic removal candidates/ExampleTopicName/archiveX}} (again, where X is the desired archive number) at the top of the list of nominees on this page by first copying the above, clicking "edit" on the top of the page, and then pasting, making sure to add the name of the nominated article. Supporting and objecting Please read all the articles of the nominated topic fully 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 to remove, write '''Delist''' followed by your reasons. If you oppose of a nomination to remove, write '''Keep''' followed by the reason for your objection. Each objection must provide a justification why the topic does not violate the listed criteria. If you want to delay the nomination while another nomination takes place, such as adding new items to the topic or nominating member articles for Good Article status, write '''HOLD''' with a link to the relevant nomination and this nomination will not be closed until after the other one. To withdraw a support or objection, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it. Consensus must be reached for a topic to be removed from featured status. If enough time passes without objections being resolved, nominations will be removed from the candidates list and archived. As a general guide, new topics will remain on here for at least 10 days to allow for comment, and must have at least 4 remove votes (although consensus and lack of major objections are also important) for removal.

Topics nominated for removal

Gwen Stefani albums

Since the article for her most recent album, This Is What the Truth Feels Like, failed its GAN recently, I am nominating this topic for failing to meet criterion 3.b and 1.d. GamerPro64 02:05, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

I will be working heavily on her newest album to bring it to GA–status within this week, but I've been really caught up with the GA Cup. Is there anyway you could allow me a little time to improve it? Thanks, Carbrera (talk) 02:31, 26 June 2016 (UTC).

Sure. If you're able to improve and nominate it soon. If it fails its next GAN, this topic is going to be demoted. GamerPro64 02:36, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

• Demote unless the new album can become GA, though I doubt that'll happen anytime soon given how many problems I saw with it while reviewing its GAN. Snuggums (talk / edits) 02:39, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

James Bond films

I am nominating this topic for removal as it has passed its retention period for Spectre (2015 film), which has not achieved at least GA status more than three months after its release, so the topic is no longer complete, thus failing criteria 1(d). GamerPro64 16:00, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Comment: The article in question is currently at GAN. ツ FrB.TG (talk) 19:48, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

• Demote unless the Spectre article passes its GAN. Snuggums (talk / edits) 02:29, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Just wait, even if the review is taking a while to start. igordebraga ≠ 01:38, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
• Remove (regretfully) The topic is incomplete, and the GAN nomination for Spectre (2015 film) became stale a month ago. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 17:26, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
• Director comment - While there is consensus to demote this topic, the GAN is still going on, albeit stale. Once the nomination is done with, then we can decide the fate of the topic. GamerPro64 01:26, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
