Featured and good topics in Wikipedia

A featured topic is a collection of inter-related articles that are of a good quality (though are not necessarily featured articles).

A good topic 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. If you would like to ask any questions about your topic and the featured/good topic process before submitting it, visit Wikipedia talk:Featured and good topic candidates.

Before nominating a topic, nominators may wish to receive feedback by listing it at Featured and good topic questions. 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 Gog the Mild 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 FTC coordinators, please leave a message on the FTC talk page, or use the {{@FTC}} 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.

I'm Breathless[edit]

I'm Breathless is an album released on May 22, 1990, by Sire Records to accompany the film Dick Tracy. The album contains three songs written by Stephen Sondheim, which were used in the film, in addition to several songs co-written by Madonna that were inspired by but not included in the film. Madonna starred as Breathless Mahoney alongside her then-boyfriend Warren Beatty who played the title role, Dick Tracy. After filming was complete, Madonna began work on the album, with Sondheim, producer Patrick Leonard and engineer Bill Bottrell. In support of both I'm Breathless and her previous album, Like a Prayer, Madonna embarked on the Blond Ambition World Tour where a section was dedicated to the songs from the album.

Midnights[edit]

Midnights is the tenth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. With an understated synth-pop and electropop sound, Midnights is a concept album about nocturnal ruminations. Released on October 21, 2022, the album was Swift's fifth to sell over one million US first-week copies, and its songs made her the first artist to monopolize the entire top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100.

Damita Jo[edit]

Damita Jo is the eighth studio album by American singer Janet Jackson. EMI Music Japan released it first in Japan on March 22, 2004. Damita Jo debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 and was considered a disappointment by the media compared to Jackson's previous efforts. To promote it, three singles were released: "Just a Little While", "I Want You" and "All Nite (Don't Stop)", while "R&B Junkie" was issued as a promotional single. Jackson's performance at the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show prior to the album's release, which ended in Jackson's breast being accidentally exposed by surprise guest Justin Timberlake, had a major effect on the album's commercial performance.

Avengers films[edit]

The Avengers are a team of fictional superheroes and the protagonists of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise, based on the Marvel Comics team of the same name created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1963. Founded by S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury, the team is a United States-based organization composed primarily of superpowered and gifted individuals, described as "Earth's Mightiest Heroes", who are committed to the world's protection from a variety of threats. Initially arranged as an ensemble of core MCU characters consisting of Tony Stark / Iron Man, Steve Rogers / Captain America, Thor, Bruce Banner / Hulk, Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow, and Clint Barton / Hawkeye, and later expanding to 16 members. The Avengers are central to the MCU's first 23 films, collectively known as the "Infinity Saga", which included four Avengers films: The Avengers (2012), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019). The franchise is the sixth highest-grossing film series of all-time, grossing more than US$7.7 billion at the worldwide box office. The Avengers are set to return in Avengers 5 (2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027). Both will be part of the MCU's Phase Six, concluding the "Multiverse Saga".

Endgame

The Avengers is the biggest franchise within the MCU, so it felt like after four films, and two more announced, it was past time to make a GT of some sort. Due to there not being an article dedicated only to the Avengers franchise, making Avengers the lead article was the next best option. As a result, the accolades are included as they encompass the films and the actors/individual characters. -- Zoo Blazer 00:12, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Avengers (Marvel Cinematic Universe) should be a topic because it is a notable franchise. However, I think the collection of articles is incomplete; for example, there are articles covering the soundtracks and box office records which aren't included and are fundamental to the completeness of the films mentioned. Instead, I'd like to suggest that this topic include only the four current Avengers films, and that each film have a respective subtopic. For example, the Avengers: Infinity War subtopic would include its accolades, box office records, soundtrack and production. These subtopics can also be noted on the phase topics as well. This way, every article concerning the topic is covered and we still get an Avengers topic. Let me know if this doesn't make sense. Idiosincrático (talk) 05:17, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The soundtracks wouldn't make sense here as the scope is more about the team (which is what the lead article is) since it can't be entirely about the films without a dedicated article. The soundtracks have nothing to do with the team/characters. Subtopics could maybe work, but just an FYI, from what I've heard, the box office records lists are frowned upon at FLC, so they could likely ruin some topics since they probably will never get promoted. -- Zoo Blazer 05:26, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the Avengers (MCU) article is about the fictional superheroes and protagonists (like the lead says), should this topic not instead list the roster of characters within the team; ie. Tony Stark, Thor etc? I get that "the Avengers is the biggest franchise within the MCU", but there is no article about the 'Avengers film franchise'; Avengers (film series) redirects to List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films. Topics like Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase One films, in my opinion, are more than enough coverage for the film series alone. Instead, sub-topics for each individual film is more appropriate. These said sub-topics should include both the soundtracks and any respective box office list/article; a topic constitutes a complete grouping of every article/list related to the lead article (so long as the article/list exists). The reason why the box office records lists are unpopular is because they're not encyclopaedic and content-forking, this was discussed here with no consensus to delete in 2018. This was done at the time of film release, a nomination to delete or merge now would be probably be more successful. Idiosincrático (talk) 06:50, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think I will narrow this down to just the films as you suggested above. -- Zoo Blazer 07:28, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think Idiosincrático is right that the Avengers character article should probably by part of a character topic with the individual character articles. I don't think it makes sense to treat it like an Avengers film franchise topic. These films all fit well in the Phase topics that we are already planning. - adamstom97 (talk) 12:26, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support nice effort. And given that somehow there are a lot of separate articles for the MCU incarnations of the characters, the top article can even be used if there's ever an "MCU Avengers members" topic. igordebraga ≠ 18:46, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support on the narrowed down GT of including the Avengers films only. Pseud 14 (talk) 15:15, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trauma Center[edit]

Trauma Center is a simulation video game series developed and published by Atlus between 2005 and 2010. Beginning with Trauma Center: Under the Knife for the Nintendo DS, the series continued for four more entries; a Wii remake Second Opinion, and three original titles for DS and Wii. While now a dormant series, each entry saw positive reception and sales, with many gaming journalists praising each entry's controls for utilising hardware-specific elements.

I'm nominating this GT because I ended up doing a GA clean sweep of the series. I believe all of them cover each game in as much detail as is suitable for their quality level. While there would normally be a series article, there has been little to no commentary on the series as a whole despite its popularity during its period of release. Due to this, the series article has been redirected, and for this topic the lead article is the debut entry. The series is unlikely to see any additions in the near future, so the topic should remain stable. --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:31, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Although the matter of a series article can't be helped in this scenario, the articles are all clearly related and linked together by a designated template, and since all the articles within are GA-class, the topic qualifies for promotion.

Support My second opinion is that this topic is in full health. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:11, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hold Scratch that, I think there's some latent GUILT in the patient that needs to be treated. Er... I mean potential for another article. Specifically, the series article is quite viable and probably shouldn't have been redirected just to fast track a Good Topic. Hardcore Gaming 101 goes over the series as a whole as a decent chunk of their review of the original Trauma Center, besides this retrospective that was already mentioned in the article. Combined with this overview of the series in Nintendo Power, I think it's absolutely salvageable and GNG passing. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:21, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I have to disagree. Again the commentary there seems too localized to specific titles over talking about the series as a whole. The main problem with the series article was it was parroting stuff from the articles. There was little to no overarching commentary, and the sources you've provided don't really solve that issue. --ProtoDrake (talk) 23:49, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Based on these three sources, I must agree with ProtoDrake. Hardcore Gamer's two articles are specific-game reviews, as is the Nintendo Power article. They describe the series in order to give context to the item they are reviewing. Only the USGamer (VG247) article is about the series as a whole. These three sources suggest the potential for a series article, but they would not be enough. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 08:20, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SIGCOV states that "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Being specifically about the series as a whole has nothing to do with it really. So unless you are saying these are all trivial, that shouldn't apply. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:08, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am just suggesting that all of the information in these sources are summarily covered in the respective game articles. Only one of them features reception for the franchise as a whole. We could put together a somewhat functional article to encompass the franchise, but there's not really any reason to do it with these sources. The Gameplay and Legacy sections on Under the Knife have it covered. This might change if more retrospectives on the franchise as a whole are found or written, though. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 13:37, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reason would be ease of navigation and to give people a proper landing page for learning about the Trauma Center series. At MOS:VG it is stated that as long as a series page "describe[s] the series as a whole in broader terms, such as what the games have in common. This could include general gameplay, and recurring elements such as characters and locations", and there are at least 3 entries, its existence is merited. The question should be why it shouldn't exist, and there appears to be no special reason in this case to inconvenience readers. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:09, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you joking? It also says "Avoid creating a series article that only repeats what sources say about the individual games, and instead base the article on what reliable sources say about the series as a whole.". Except that there aren't reliable sources that talk about the series as a whole, and you've been unable to produce them. --Pres N 13:24, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To straight-up copy-paste my reply above, because it seems like it got ignored, Hardcore Gaming 101 goes over the series as a whole as a decent chunk of their review of the original Trauma Center, besides this retrospective that was already mentioned in the article. Combined with this overview of the series in Nintendo Power. These are the sources I have produced that prove a series page is possible and passes GNG. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:11, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking bluntly, yes it's possible, but it'll also look like a giant echo chamber and that in my opinion is one of the worst kinds of Wikipedia articles. Speaking personally, and I may have to go back over some of my own contributions in light of these opinions, I dislike whole articles that just reproduce word for word, or with arbitrary variations. That's why I did the redirect. There was barely anything original, and even with those small bits you've found, they'll still be barely anything original. --ProtoDrake (talk) 14:47, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, if what you are saying is true, I am doubtful any franchise article would exist - it would be required to only have navboxes connecting them, because any blurb describing the game, film or other media would be classified as an "echo chamber" and "repetitive content". Sometimes repetition is required to describe something in another article in which it appears. I am a bit flummoxed as to how that is a bad thing as long as it's not just a straight copypaste of the entire article. Sometimes people want a quick summary, other times a long examination of the subject. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:08, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I'm gonna chime in a say that for the time being, it's best having all the series info in the article for the first game. Look at Knightmare on MSX for example. I condensed everything related to the trilogy into the legacy section, including the follow-ups, cameos, the unreleased stand-alone sequel, etc. I do feel that Trauma Center has potential to have its own series page more than Knightmare, not gonna lie, but i do agree with Drake's approach here.
