Wikipedia:Featured and good 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 and good 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, the discussion will be assessed for consensus by one of the FGTC coordinators, who will close the discussion. If there is consensus to remove, it will be removed from the list of featured topic, and added to the list of former featured topics. All discussions will be logged at Wikipedia:Featured topic removal candidates/archive. The removal instructions are located here.

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

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

3 articles

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

Alucard

With the article Soma Cruz going from a Good Article to being merged into List of Castlevania characters, it occurred to me how flimsy this topic is. Without an article with the main character, all it consists of is a game and its sequel as well as a side character you don't play as. I don't see this as being an interrelated topic and think it should be demoted. GamerPro64 05:02, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Alucard is a character primarily known for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I do think there's a potential Good Topic here with that game, Alucard and Inverted Castle if they all reach GA standards, but that has yet to happen. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:03, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Remove: Yeah, doesn't seem like enough is there. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 14:05, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Remove Alucard shouldn't have been here to begin with, and that leaves only 2 articles, which is too few. QuicoleJR (talk) 12:58, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remove: Incomplete without the latest entry. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:02, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Changing to support addition with Engage promoted. Good save! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 12:37, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@QuicoleJR: Do you think you'll get a chance to work on Engage soon? You said you were interested awhile back, but it's fine if it fell through the cracks. If you don't think you're going to get to it, mind if I take a look at getting the article to GA? SnowFire (talk) 00:39, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be fine with you giving it a go. I'll try to help a bit, but it's not really my current priority. QuicoleJR (talk) 00:41, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hold to give SnowFire a chance. QuicoleJR (talk) 12:35, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've nominated Engage for GA. We'll see if it passes. SnowFire (talk) 21:52, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Defer to Engage's GAN. CLYDE ^{TALK TO ME}/_{STUFF DONE} 04:07, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Engage passed GA recently; thanks to User:Cukie Gherkin for the review. I've updated the template to include Engage. @Armbrust:. SnowFire (talk) 18:09, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, all articles under this umbrella are GAs. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 18:12, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Everything looks okay now. Support adding Fire Emblem Engage to the topics. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 18:45, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

God of War franchise

~~Fails criterion 3.b as God of War Ragnarök is not a WP:GA, isn't being worked on, and is past the three month grace period (game was released on 9 November 2022)).~~ Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 22:22, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delist per nom. Obviously, this can be renominated if Ragnarök is brought to GA. JOE BRO ⁶⁴ 00:53, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Remove~~: Incomplete without the latest title. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 01:26, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Pausing vote now that the missing title is nominated at GAN. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 23:10, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delist per rationale. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 18:55, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~I've decided to momentarily withdraw my vote pending the outcome of Ragnarök's current GAN. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 04:35, 23 February 2023 (UTC)~~[reply]

Now that Ragnarök's a GA, changing my vote to "Keep and add Ragnarök" Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 19:16, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw my vote since there is a pending GAN. I will wait for its outcome MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 19:20, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The notion that God of War Ragnarök "isn't being worked on" was false, but with that being said, the article is currently up for GAN. --JDC808 ♫ 03:54, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JDC808: Well, at the time this removal candidate started there really wasn't that much editing to the article that would indicate it being worked on. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 17:35, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wait until Ragnarök's GAN has run its course. DecafPotato (talk) 01:48, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hold to let the GA nomination finish. QuicoleJR (talk) 18:18, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hold for the GA nomination. It's good to see this being worked on. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:36, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hold until the Ragnarök GAN is completed. -- Zoo (talk) 19:34, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and add Ragnarök now that it has become a GA -- ZooBlazer^talk 17:21, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Armbrust, TheJoebro64, Bryanrutherford0, MarioSoulTruthFan, Shooterwalker, QuicoleJR, and DecafPotato. A couple of the other editors here have already noticed, and although it took a bit longer than intended, God of War Ragnarök is now a GA. --JDC808 ♫ 21:14, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support adding Ragnarök to the topic. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 13:38, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
