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 director, GamerPro64, or his delegates Aza24 and Bryan Rutherford, 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 director and delegates, 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 delegates 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.

Featured topic nominations[edit]

Nebula Award (1st supplementary nomination)[edit]

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

  1. Nebula Award for Best Game Writing
  2. Andre Norton Award

Ray Bradbury Award

This topic was made back in 2012 when I got the main article and (then) five categories up to GA/FL. Since then, two changes to the awards were made in 2019, which never got reflected in the topic: a category on Game Writing got added (FL'd this year), and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association retroactively made the Andre Norton Award (FL 2012) and Ray Bradbury Award (FL 2020) official categories instead of the "other awards given at the same event" status that they had. Somehow I completely missed that the topic was getting out of date, so I'm fixing that now. I actively maintain this articles, so the topic should be good to go. --PresN 14:07, 25 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Jupiter[edit]

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass more than two and a half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined, and slightly less than one one-thousandth the mass of the Sun. Jupiter is the third brightest natural object in the Earth's night sky after the Moon and Venus, and it has been observed since prehistoric times. It was named after Jupiter, the chief deity of ancient Roman religion.

Once the article on the fifth planet lost its FA status in 2021, the related topic fell along. Last year it became a Good Article, and the one article that was raised up as a possible omission when the topic was promoted back in 2009, Jupiter in fiction, was itself promoted to GA. Another that completes all the blue links on the left side of Template:Jupiter, Impact events on Jupiter, also became a GA. So everything for an overview is here, leaving out a few specific parts (all the other moons, the Great Red Spot, the poles). --igordebraga ≠ 07:33, 14 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Roman–Seleucid war[edit]

The Roman–Seleucid war was a Hellenistic period military conflict between two coalitions, one led by the Roman Republic and the other led by the Seleucid king Antiochus III. It gradually escalated from a cold war style conflict over which empire will exert its influence in Greece and Asia Minor, to an open confrontation. The fighting took place both on land and at sea, with the Roman led coalition emerging victorious and turning Asia Minor into a buffer zone.

2004–05 Liverpool F.C. season[edit]

The 2004–05 season was Liverpool Football Club's 113th season in existence and their 43rd consecutive season in the top-flight of English football. Liverpool finished in fifth place, 37 points behind eventual winners Chelsea with a record of 17 wins, 7 draws and 14 defeats. Liverpool fared better in cup competitions. Although they were eliminated by Burnley in the third round of the FA Cup, they reached the final of the League Cup, which they lost 3–2 to Chelsea. Despite their lack of success domestically, Liverpool were successful in the UEFA Champions League. They won the competition for the fifth time, defeating Italian team AC Milan in the final.

Sacnoth[edit]

Sacnoth is a video game developer founded in 1997 by former Square staff including composer Hiroki Kikuta. The company is best known for the Shadow Hearts series, which spun off from the 1999 video game Koudelka. They are also known for their work on two Neo Geo Pocket Color titles Dive Alert and Faselei!. Initially independent, they were acquired by Aruze in 2002, going through two name changes being being folded into Aruze in 2009.

Contributor(s): ProtoDrake, PresN

All of the articles have been passed for GA, and all articles are related to the developer. They are a developer which was recognised in a limited capacity, and their Shadow Hearts series has become a cult classic. As Sacnoth ceased to exist in 2009 and its staff have moved on to other things, no further titles are likely to appear and the topic will likely remain stable going forward. PresN brought the article for its founder Kikuta up to GA in 2010, while I ended up working on both the developer article and those of their developed games. --ProtoDrake (talk) 20:40, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm not 100% on the scope here - you're excluding the founder (Hiroki Kikuta), so presumably it's "games by Sacnoth", but also exclude the Shadow Hearts series page + subtopic link to Wikipedia:Featured topics/Shadow Hearts. Wikipedia:Featured topics/Action Button Entertainment includes its founder, while Wikipedia:Featured topics/Games by Quantic Dream and Wikipedia:Featured topics/Looking Glass Studios video games make the topic explicitly just the games, so there's precedents to choose from. --PresN 18:54, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I've adjusted it. Sorry about the confused messages, not feeling myself. I've adjusted it to cover Sacnoth the company, including its founder and games/series. Hopefully that fixes the scope problem. --ProtoDrake (talk) 20:30, 13 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dreams and Nightmares[edit]

Dreams and Nightmares is the debut studio album by American rapper Meek Mill, released on October 30, 2012. The album was crafted by Mill to reach newfound cohesiveness and represents two parts; his dreams through performance and nightmares from the come-up in his neighbourhood. Critical response was mostly positive to Mill's venture into the mainstream, which was echoed by it reaching number two on the US Billboard 200. The album was initially promoted by Mill with the Dreamchasers Tour, and a decade later, he performed a 10th anniversary concert.

I worked these articles up from almost nothing in early 2023, starting with single "Believe It". Half a year later, all of the articles have achieved GA status! It is quite a strange timeline that the two last ones were the album and its title track. The article for the track was actually created by me, being a somewhat important moment for hip hop that helps drive this GT itself. --K. Peake 19:31, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Comment: Great work on the articles! Usually an album topic like this would be expected to include an article about the associated tour (the Dreamchasers Tour). Is there some special reason to think that this tour wasn't notable enough for its own article?

Thanos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)[edit]

Thanos is a fictional character portrayed primarily by Josh Brolin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). He is depicted as an alien warlord from the doomed planet Titan with a universe-spanning agenda to wipe out half of all life to stabilize overpopulation and prevent what he views as life's inevitable extinction. To do this, he sets out to obtain the six Infinity Stones, cosmic gems with the power to achieve his goal. With the help of his adopted children, Thanos fights against the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and their allies, in the Infinity War, succeeds in assembling the Stones, and disintegrates half of all life in the universe in an event that is known as the Blip.

Thanos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
3 articles
Infinity Stones
The Blip

I've been able to get all of the articles to GA over the last few months. With how big the MCU is, I figured I'd try to find a good subject for a Good Topic as there hasn't been one since the films got delisted a while back. It felt like Thanos was as good as any with his actions in the most recent Avengers films. -- ZooBlazertalk 17:18, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Comment: Not sure I'm seeing a topic here. Would it make sense to put these three articles, and no others, in a Category:Thanos? If not, then they're probably not tightly connected enough to cohere as a GT. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 18:14, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @Bryanrutherford0 If a new category has to be created, it would probably have to be Category:Thanos (Marvel Cinematic Universe) or something along those lines to differentiate it from the comics character. -- ZooBlazertalk 18:32, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Sorry, I'm not saying that there should be such a category; on the contrary, I'm saying that there probably shouldn't be such a category, which makes me suspect that there probably shouldn't be a Good Topic about Thanos, either. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 19:23, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @Bryanrutherford0 Just curious, is it not good enough that all three are in the larger Category:Avengers (film series)? With how big fhe MCU is, we pretty much can only do topics like this which covers the character and the two big things tied to his film appearances that currently have articles.
    Would adding Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame into the nominated topic make any difference since that's where Thanos, the Stones, and the Blip all had their big roles and/or origins? -- ZooBlazertalk 01:48, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Friendly oppose. While it's good work improving the topic and the art of how broad a topic needs to be to "qualify" as a potential FT/GT is vague, I think this is on the side of too narrow. I think that at minimum, Thanos himself needs to be the centerpiece of the topic, not necessarily the MCU version. And yes, I know that comic-Thanos is both far less famous and notable than the MCU version while simultaneously having all the usual comic-character issues of there being just tons of sometimes contradictory plot to go over in an article, so I understand it's a potentially tough assignment. It wouldn't hurt to have Jim Starlin and Infinity Gems as GAs as well, although those could be argued. SnowFire (talk) 03:59, 25 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Oppose per Snowfire and Rutherford, these articles imo should be reserved for broader topics, seeing as articles are limited per no. of topics. The nomination imo falls into the content forking guidelines.

@WP:FTC director and delegates: Can one of you please archive this? I'm withdrawing the nomination and just going to focus on other potential topics instead. ZooBlazer 00:48, 8 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Milton Grant[edit]

Milton Grant (1923–2007) was an American disc jockey and owner of television stations. After a career in radio and television in the Washington, D.C., area, where he made his mark as a disc jockey and hosted the regionally influential The Milt Grant Show on TV from 1956 to 1961, he turned to broadcast station management. He founded Washington's WDCA-TV in 1966; he sold it in 1969 but remained general manager until 1980. He then owned TV stations primarily by way of three vehicles: a partnership with Sidney Shlenker that started two highly successful stations in Texas; the Grant Broadcasting System, which lost its three stations in bankruptcy; and Grant Communications/Grant Broadcasting System II, which operated in midsize and smaller markets and continued in business after Milton Grant's death until 2014.

Broadcast stations owned by Milton Grant
16 articles
Contributor(s): Sammi Brie

The proposed Good Topic consists of Grant's biography, his eponymous TV show (which is independently notable), and all the operating television stations he owned in part or full (WLAX and WEUX share an article). This is the second GT in broadcasting (KTXA is also in the ON TV GT) and a third is planned which will have some of these articles. --Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:17, 8 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Oppose: Is the various stations' association with the guy significant enough to merit their inclusion in a topic together? Five of the articles don't contain even a single mention of Milton Grant, and in most of the others he's just mentioned in passing as one of various owners in the station's history. On the other hand, the stations where you say he established his notability (WINX, WOL, and WTTG) aren't included. This topic doesn't seem well focused on this man's life and notable work to me. Sorry, it's clear that an enormous amount of work has gone into promoting all of these articles; I just don't see a shared topic. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 20:27, 8 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @Bryanrutherford0: These are the stations he owned (he never owned WTTG or the radio stations), and some of them have very significant association with Grant. Grant built WDCA, KTXA, KTXH, and WBFS, and comprehensively rebuilt (in terms of programming and/or facility) WGBO (as in "Grant Broadcasting"), WPSG (as WGBS — Grant Broadcasting System), WNYO (which had been a Christian station for years), and KGCW (which was off the air when he bought it). Grant's station ownership tenure is unusual in that he owned stations in four discrete eras (WDCA; KTXA/KTXH; the Grant Broadcasting System; and then the smaller stations he owned at his death). All of them except WDCA used the same logo style—even the tiny Fox affiliate in La Crosse/Eau Claire, Wisconsin. KLRT-TV is probably the most fringe, as he never ran the station (he owned 25%), but I wanted to cover my bases and had substantial material left over from KASN to improve it. I designed the GT scope in such a way as to include Grant, his eponymous show, and the TV stations he owned. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:35, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    If that's the scope you want, then the name of the proposed topic should be changed to something more like "broadcast stations owned by Milton Grant", and the Milt Grant Show should be cut, since it has nothing to do with any stations he owned. Even then, again, it doesn't seem like his ownership was important to all of these stations, since his name doesn't come up at all in their articles. Sorry to be a downer! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:33, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I've gone ahead and made the changes to focus it on the broadcast stations, but I fundamentally and thoroughly disagree with your assertion that "his ownership wasn't important". Here, I will go through, fundamentally, and tell you the things that happened under Grant at each of these stations... Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:16, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • KGCW: This station was off the air and bankrupt when acquired by Grant in 1995. Grant put it back on the air in 1996 using the resources of KLJB.
    • KLJB: Grant owned this station for 20+ years, during which time it started a local 9 p.m. newscast. The newscast was outsourced, which spawned a whole company, Independent News Network.
    • KLRT: Probably a fringe inclusion since Grant owned 25 percent and was not involved directly in its operation, but for completeness it is here as he did own some of it.
    • KTXA and KTXH: The first stations owned in part or whole by Grant since the 1960s. Grant's "full-grown" model to independent stations was perfected here, aided—in hindsight—by economic tailwinds. KTXH in particular was enormously successful.
    • WBFS: This was the station in what later became Grant's home market (he moved to and died in Fort Lauderdale) and heralded the start of the Grant Broadcasting System—whose bankruptcy and collapse was said to have ended an independent stations bubble.
    • WDCA: Grant put the station on the air in 1966; while he sold it in 1969, he remained general manager until 1980 and was instrumental in its programming policy and management.
    • WFXR (and WWCW, which simulcast for most of their history under Grant): Among the quieter pickups, but important nonetheless. Grant reached a deal to have a newscast for the station.
    • WGBO: That's G for Grant. This was the worst-performing of the Grant Broadcasting System stations by a country mile and helped drag the whole thing into bankruptcy.
    • WLAX: See above but a decade after WFXR.
    • WNYO-TV: Grant engineered the license swap that returned this facility to being a commercially run station after it was made Christian in 1990. His relationship with The WB, started in Buffalo, resulted in him receiving The WB affiliations in three of his other markets.
    • WPSG: This was WGBS, as in Grant Broadcasting System. It had existed prior to 1985 but was a non-factor with subscription TV programming. It was essentially a new station in facilities and programming.
    • WZDX: On the quieter side, but after GBS failed, this station marked his return to station ownership and was built up considerably under him.
    Okay, I'm not interested in this getting belligerent. I'll just say that your bullet points above pretty much all seem to be reasons why these stations were important in Grant's business life, rather than reasons why Grant was important in the histories of the stations. I still don't see a topic. Sorry! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 14:16, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Support: I reviewed a number of the articles (including Grant himself) and find that Sammi has justified the inclusion of these stations. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 14:22, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Oppose. I've given this some thought over several days, and have come to the conclusion that I can't see how these form a unified topic of closely-related articles. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 14:50, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Oppose. Since this is still open, if it helps consensus, I think this is too weak a connection to make a GT. Especially since they weren't owned by Grant personally, but rather his company. Sets an awkward precedent, because ownership can and does move around over time and is traded back and forth between holding companies. Corporate owner just isn't very high in the mind when people think of a station, either. It's still some amazing work, but maybe a regional connection would work better? e.g. {{Buffalo TV}} might work as a GT. SnowFire (talk) 18:32, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Clearly a high number of good articles providing good coverage of climate change and the corresponding energy sector. This could alternatively be under the umbrella of "Energy in Turkey" with climate change being a subsection. --Arcahaeoindris (talk) 14:15, 8 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Arcahaeoindris Thank you for nominating this. @Bryanrutherford0 I would much prefer the title to be “Climate change in Turkey”. The only reason I have brought the energy articles to “good” is because (as in most countries) energy is the biggest of Greenhouse gas emissions by Turkey. I don’t know whether having an energy good topic hinders having a climate change good topic in future but if there is any chance it might I would rather scrap this. Having covered energy I am now moving on to non-energy climate change related topics such as Agriculture in Turkey. As I understand 3 articles are enough for a good topic how about the title to be “Climate change in Turkey” and articles Climate change in Turkey and Greenhouse gas emissions by Turkey and Energy in Turkey with agriculture to be added later if promoted?

The theme running through the articles in this nomination by Arcahaeoindris is definitely energy and not climate change. If you, Chidgk1, would also like to propose a Good Topic about Climate Change in Turkey, then my question would be, what is the scope of articles that should be included, and why? Typically we would want to see the topic reflect the contents of its corresponding category (in this case, Category:Climate change in Turkey) under FT criteria 1c) and 1d). Maybe that category needs some cleanup to reflect a more appropriate scope for the topic? Prepare a convincing defense of your proposed topic scope, and then you'll have a strong proposal for a GT. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 18:49, 11 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks for info - I need to do a lot more work before proposing that. But can you tell me whether an article being in this proposed energy GT would be any hindrence to it also being in a future climate change GT? Chidgk1 (talk) 19:18, 11 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Not to me. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 00:14, 23 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
In that case I have no objection to this proposal Chidgk1 (talk) 19:03, 26 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Bioenergy in Turkey and Renewable energy in Turkey still need to be GA's, though. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:53, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I intend to bring renewable energy to GA but not bioenergy as it is not important enough Chidgk1 (talk) 08:44, 20 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Added Renewable energy in Turkey as this has just achieved GA status. @AirshipJungleman29: @Chidgk1: @Bryanrutherford0: any further thoughts on this? Would be good to conclude this. Arcahaeoindris (talk) 11:39, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Still looks to me like it needs Bioenergy in Turkey. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:44, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I doubt bioenergy in Turkey has much potential for helping to fix climate change. In 2020 Ege Uni said at https://www.aa.com.tr/en/energy/geothermal-biomass/biomass-can-meet-one-third-of-turkeys-annual-power/29862 it would need government incentives. I can't see the government incentivizing this in future but if anyone knows better please let me know at Talk:Bioenergy_in_Turkey Chidgk1 (talk) 14:00, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I suspect Turkish Airlines of greenwashing https://www.aa.com.tr/en/energy/turkey/turkish-airlines-launches-flights-using-sustainable-aviation-fuel/34554. But if the sugar beet could be increased in price a lot due to SAF demand this might help solve the obesity problem so would be great - we shall see.

@ZooBlazer: I'd intended to bring it to GA sooner, but...stuff happened. I've been doing some tidying/trimming/expansion. If I could get it to GA in the next week or two, would that suit? If not, then we can follow previous procedure for when XV didn't make GA in time. --ProtoDrake (talk) 20:45, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
