Nominator(s): igordebraga ≠, Gary King (talk)

Since the Metroid series fulfills the current and future required quantity of Featured material (Prime = my work, with some help by User:Judgesurreal777; Prime 2 and List of media: both me and Gary King; Prime 3: mostly Gary King), the series article is a GA since 2007 and the rest of the games reached GA status this year, seems like it is a worthy addition to the Featured Topics. (if you ask why "titles" and not "series": Samus Aran is still B-class) igordebraga ≠ 22:15, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

"rest of the games reached GA status this year", as in all of them by mostly me in the past month? I should probably have made it more obvious that I was aiming for a full FT, which I'll remember for next time. I was planning to bring every article in the topic to FAC; I think that they are all FA-worthy already, but the process itself takes too long that by the time they are all FA, the topic would have been nominated at least a dozen times by the same people.

Support -- Seems to be complete.--₮RUCӨ 01:07, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't know it was still incomplete.--₮RUCӨ 23:09, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

• Comment Guys, can't you all just wait for the entire series to be a topic? I'm almost done with Samus's article; this topic has been nominated so many times already my head is spinning. Please, have some patience. Gary King (talk) 03:43, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

  Oppose In any case, I don't think that List of Metroid media belongs here if it's strictly just titles. And if that is removed, then this article needs one more featured item. Gary King (talk) 03:55, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

  Also, regarding this on my talk page, Samus Aran can't be added to this nomination in a supplementary nomination just yet, as another featured item would be needed in the topic in order to add another article. I don't get why we can't just come to FTC with all the articles ready in one shot, especially when the topic is so close. Gary King (talk) 04:25, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't know. There is a featured topic that started with just the games, then had anything else added... And there's another, but the process was less well-received. igordebraga ≠ 15:05, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

• Oppose, List of M Media shouldn't be in a "titles" topic; and it's not nice to steal someone's baby. --PresN 04:56, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Conditional Support -- if List of Media is removed. Sorry, Gary King, but it seems your "baby" has been attacked too many times recently. You can still, however, continue to promote the articles to FA, you don't have to wait until they're all FAs to nominate. Lucky, that's 27% FAs. --haha169 (talk) 05:33, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

It has to be 33% FAs to be a featured topic.

No, just starting on April 1st. And there's no deadline.

• Weak oppose. If only one more article is needed to make this a complete topic on the series, making a titles topic seems pointless - adding the final article will require another disussion and a retitle and refocus. If people want credit for FTs, they should be working on promoting more articles, nomninating without the prinicpal editor will just make people secretive. Do we want people doing all their work off wiki and nominating everything in one go to prevent premature nominations?YobMod 09:29, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
• Comment - I, too, would be inclined to wait - what's the rush? Let the topic become complete first! Also I have concerns about the place of the media list in the topic - rst20xx (talk) 09:36, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

• Comment There is no deadline, and it is courteous to at least ask the primary contributor before starting an FTC. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:33, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
• It's just that I had much input in most of these articles. But since you question the list of media, I removed it. igordebraga ≠ 15:05, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

• Oppose Not sure how valid it is under the criteria, but given that only one more item (and the re-addition of List of M media) is needed to make the topic complete, and the fact that this wouldn't qualify for FT (27%) come 1 April (33%), I think we should wait.

Withdrawing. Will restart as a GT nomination after Samus passes the GA. igordebraga ≠ 18:12, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
