A featured topic (FT) is a collection of inter-related articles in which at least half are featured articles or featured lists. The remaining articles must be at least good quality.

A good topic (GT) 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.

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

Iltis-class gunboats

[edit]

Following on from my last nomination here, this is the next "chapter" of this planned GT encompassing all of the gunboats built or acquired by the German navies. Thanks to everyone who reviews the articles and this topic! Parsecboy (talk) 14:10, 14 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Horizon is a science fiction franchise primarily consisting of action role-playing games developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Set in a 31st-century post-apocalyptic United States, the series is characterised by a world overrun by animalistic machines. The overarching narrative follows Aloy, a young Nora tribe huntress, as she uncovers the secrets of the ancient past and attempts to stop recurring extinction-level threats. The franchise began with Horizon Zero Dawn (2017) and its expansion The Frozen Wilds (2017), followed by the sequel Horizon Forbidden West (2022) and its expansion Burning Shores (2023). The series has since expanded into other genres with the virtual reality spin-off Horizon Call of the Mountain (2023) and the family-friendly Lego Horizon Adventures (2024). It continues to expand with Horizon Steel Frontiers, an upcoming MMORPG, and Horizon Hunters Gathering, a co-operative multiplayer game, alongside a feature film adaptation of Zero Dawn currently in development. The franchise is one of Sony's best-selling first-party properties, with over 40 million units sold worldwide. It has received positive critical reception, earning numerous industry awards and praise for its visual fidelity, unique worldbuilding, and tactical combat mechanics.

Over the last couple of months I got most of the articles promoted to GA and helped get Zero Dawn promoted to FA with OceanHok, who was also responsible for getting Forbidden West to GA. I plan to eventually make this a featured topic (The Frozen Wilds is currently at FAC), but that will obviously take some time to accomplish. -- ZooBlazer 20:25, 11 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Support Excellent work improving coverage across the entire franchise! You should be proud. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 05:14, 13 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Tomodachi Life

[edit]

Tomodachi Life is a series of social simulation video games developed and published by Nintendo. The games feature customizable casts of Mii avatars, who reside on an island, as they autonomously form interpersonal relationships and request help with problems while the player serves as an external observer. It began with the Japan-exclusive title Tomodachi Collection (2009) released for the Nintendo DS, whose development initially stalled when its preliminary character-creation mechanism was adopted for use on the Wii console to create the Miis. A direct sequel, Tomodachi Life (2013) released for the Nintendo 3DS, marked the series' international debut. An online controversy arose when users discovered Miis were unable to enter same-sex relationships; Nintendo ultimately apologized and pledged to add more inclusive gameplay in a prospective sequel. In the years after, other-Mii centric titles released that incorporated simulation elements or were otherwise tied into the Tomodachi Life games. These included Miitomo, a social networking mobile applicaton, Miitopia (both 2016), a role-playing game for the 3DS, and an enhanced remake of Miitopia (2021) for the Nintendo Switch. Following a decade-long hiatus, the main series returned with a new installment, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream (2026) for the Switch. Among other customization additions, players were now given the option to select their Miis' romantic preferences, permitting same-sex pairings.

As one of my favorite, somewhat nicher, Nintendo franchises, I've been helping to promote all Tomodachi Life-related articles for GA-status throughout the past few months. I'm happy to nominate them for a GT. TheBrickGraphic (talk) 11:38, 6 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I saw BrickGraphic improve these articles in real time, and it was amazing to see Monathephantom (talk) 12:13, 6 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Fifteenth Doctor

[edit]

The Fifteenth Doctor is an incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a millennia-old alien Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, with somewhat unknown origins, who travels in time and space in their TARDIS, frequently with companions. Usually, at the end of each incarnation's life, the Doctor regenerates; as a result, both their physical appearance and personality change. The Fifteenth Doctor is portrayed by actor Ncuti Gatwa, who is the fourteenth actor to portray the character in a leading role. He first appeared in 2023's "The Giggle" and was portrayed by Gatwa in the show's fourteenth and fifteenth series, with his final appearance being in 2025's "The Reality War", after which the character regenerated into an unknown character portrayed by actress Billie Piper.

Contributor(s): Pokelego999, TheDoctorWho, SkywalkerEccleston, Olliefant

This is a nomination that focuses on the Fifteenth incarnation of the Doctor and the various topics associated with him, in line with similar GTs for the Doctor Who project in the past. This includes the character article, both series featuring him as the lead (With all of his episodes in relevant subtopics), his debut episode not part of his series, his actor, and the two companions who appeared in his run as major supporting characters. I believe this should be an exhaustive topic of everything significant pertaining to the character. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 18:35, 3 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Ohuede dynasty

[edit]

The Ohuede dynasty was a short-lived ruling house in the late Ogiso era of Igodomigodo (the early state that preceded the Kingdom of Benin), lasting from c. 1110 AD – c. 1130 AD. It emerged after Ogiso ('king') Ehenneden died without an heir, leading the Edionnisen ('Great Nobles'), who were kingmakers that perform the legal duty of crowning a new Ogiso, to trace succession through collateral branches of the Oriagba line, leading to the accession of Ohuede from the Ihinmwirin lineage. His brief reign established guild-based agricultural organisation and reinforcement of hereditary succession rules. He was succeeded by Ogisos Oduwa, Obioye, Arigho, and Owodo. The dynasty reinforced the principle of primogeniture, but its period was mostly affected by political instability and economic decline. The dynasty collapsed following Owodo's deposition by the Edionnisen after accusations of grave misconduct, ending the Ohuede line and also contributing to the final dissolution of the Ogiso monarchy.

I am happy to nominate these series of 6 articles which I have extensively researched on and improved all to the GA status. Thank you for looking and considering. --Vanderwaalforces (talk) 00:51, 18 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Support although is there anything that could be used as the topic image? igordebraga 16:08, 19 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Igordebraga Can we use the one in Owodo; File:Ikhaladerhan.jpg? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 10:08, 20 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Vanderwaalforces: I put it there, see if you like it. igordebraga 14:42, 20 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The North East Line is a high-capacity Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) line in Singapore. Operated by SBS Transit, the 20-kilometre (12 mi) line runs from HarbourFront station in southern Singapore to Punggol station in the northeast via Chinatown, Little India, Serangoon and Hougang. Completed at a cost of S$5 billion, the line began operating 14 of its 16 stations on 20 June 2003. Buangkok station opened on 15 January 2006, and Woodleigh station began operations on 20 June 2011. A one-station extension to Punggol Coast station was completed in 2024. Alstom rolling stock – C751A, C751C and C851E – runs on the line, which is fully automated. The stations are wheelchair-accessible, and most are Civil Defence shelters designed to withstand airstrikes and chemical attacks. There are 19 artworks displayed across its 17 stations as part of the MRT network's Art-in-Transit programme.

Glad to nominate this for good topic for this list of NEL stations. I reworked most of these articles, though a few were done by a few other users.--ZKang123 (talk · contribs) 11:29, 13 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Topic removal candidates

[edit]

Casino Royale (2006 film) was delisted from Featured Article status on March 7 and there is no noticeable work to get it back to at least GA status, so unfortunately it fails criterion 3.b. -- ZooBlazer 06:18, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Co-nominator of the topic here. I started a cleanup of Casino Royale yesterday exactly because of the retention period and just sent it to the GAN. Hope it gets a review soon. igordebraga 18:01, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

2003 Pacific typhoon season was demoted on 13 February 2026, it's recent GA nomination was withdrawn due to a lack of time to do the necessary improvements to the article, and without it the topic fails criterion 3.b. Armbrust The Homunculus 20:53, 18 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

2 Pallas was demoted on 10 February 2026, there is no effort to change that, and without it the topic fails criterion 3.b. (Additionally 10 Hygiea was also delisted shortly after.) Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus 06:41, 11 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
