  • Comment - can we get a little navbox down the bottom of each page? Actually, this comment applies to other extrasolar system GTs as well, sorry I forgot to suggest this sooner but it shouldn't take much work to do one for all of them - rst20xx (talk) 01:50, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Confessions "Yeah!" - "Burn" - "Confessions Part II" - "My Boo" - "Caught Up"

This is the third album of Usher and its five released singles. The album was successfullu as its singles. All are in good status. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 10:41, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - impressive work to be sure, but while looking into this nom I came across Ride (song). While the song was never on the album (or never officially released for that matter!), I still feel that as it is related to the album, it should be included in the topic, or else the topic is not comprehensive. Having said that, it seems to me that this song is probably not notable to have its own article, in which case you can get the article AfDed. But until the status of this article is resolved, I feel I must oppose - rst20xx (talk) 15:37, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I solely worked on this series and nothing in the sources this song was mentioned. It was only a leaked track and I feel it will be AfDed. --Efe (talk) 06:11, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • There are no reliable sources so, if this get deleted, its hard to mention it in the article. Also, because of no significance, it would look like a trivia. --Efe (talk) 07:51, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • If it is AfDed, then I will support, but until that time, I shall oppose - rst20xx (talk) 14:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • No problem. --Efe (talk) 10:49, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
            • Congrats you should be proud of yourself that you deleted a perfectly good article for the propose of this GT. Zginder 2008-10-28T13:42Z (UTC)
              • I wasn't the one that nominated it, nor did I vote for it. I think your comment suggests a lack of faith in the AfD process, not in my actions - rst20xx (talk) 23:52, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support–I do not feel that Ride should be part of the topic even if it was a FA. Zginder 2008-10-23T17:09Z (UTC)
  • Support Topic is complete. I don't think Ride (song) should even have an article and will take it to AfD. If you want to recover it, it will be thataway. -- Escape Artist Swyer Talk Contributions 17:55, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support While I think it would be perfectly fine if Ride (song) were included in the topic, I don't think it is required for the topic to be complete. On a broader note, I think this is a bad road we have started going down, killing off perfectly good articles so they won't have to be included in a topic. Rreagan007 (talk) 19:19, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Ride was redirected, so I now feel I can support - rst20xx (talk) 23:51, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The box contains the album and all of the singles released from it. Efe (talk · contribs) and myself have worked hard to bring the articles to GA. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:50, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support This follows the model of other FTs. Zginder 2008-10-07T16:23Z (UTC)

  • Conditional Support - I don't understand why these use AmE dates. There is a strong national tie and should use BrE date per MoS especially as that this is what the original contributor used [1][2][3][4]. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 13:04, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think its fine since its all consistent throughout. --Efe (talk) 13:10, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • You make a good point, but this isn't really the place to have that debate and it shouldn't stop the topic from being promoted. Rreagan007 (talk) 14:38, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • I know, "conditional" was the wrong word, I meant Support with comment really. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 14:47, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pirates of the Caribbean films[edit]

previous FTC

Main page Articles
Pirates of the Caribbean film series Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl · Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest · Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Last nomination was halted due to "Nominators who are not significant contributors to the articles of the topic should consult regular editors of the articles prior to nomination.". Well, I nominated all four articles to GA, and after all but Curse of the Black Pearl were put on hold, I did all the work needed to pass in three of them. So, can this be a Good Topic now? igordebraga ≠ 14:30, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support I do not even consider that a rule. It is not one of the criteria and therefore is not actionable, it is rather a way to prevent articles that are worthy from being promoted if the contributors do not like FT's/GT's. Zginder 2008-10-12T17:28Z (UTC)
  • Support - I agree, it is a purely obstructive idea, and should be opposed if used again. Good job! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 21:20, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Well I disagree, I do think it is a valid oppose, but I support this topic, nice work - rst20xx (talk) 00:17, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While Torsodog (talk · contribs) and I continue to pursue WP:FACs for several at the items in hopes of qualifying it for WP:FT, we bring it here to WP:GTC. Currently, both Chase Promenade and AT&T Plaza are at WP:PR. Neither has much notable subject matter to add.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:06, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Articles have to complete PRs before than can be considered audited for quality. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 01:09, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose and as a comment, you're right, I hadn't even noticed the peer reviews for the articles to do with Slipknot weren't finished. I shall go and switch my vote to oppose for that one, too. And as a comment, I personally will oppose the inclusion of any -articles until they've been nominated for GA, and failed solely due to inherent shortness. i.e., I want a very literal demonstration that these articles cannot pass GA - rst20xx (talk) 13:19, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - You need to either get the two check marked articles to Good Article status or merge them, because they are not "unreleased items" or articles will a big potential for future growth. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:18, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I guess this should be considered On hold until the GACs/PRs have all finished, at which point the nom will effectively be able to start properly - rst20xx (talk) 01:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as GT now that all articles have passed GAC. To TonyTheTiger, don't worry, there are much shorter GAs, including New York State Route 164, one of my own. Cheers, –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 20:57, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - well done! And this whole exercise Tony also means that you have two more GAs to your name :) rst20xx (talk) 21:00, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Fantastic work, good job! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:20, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Great job getting those 2 articles to GA. Pie is good (Apple is the best) 21:15, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Zginder 2008-09-29T23:35Z (UTC)
  • Support – great work on these articles. —sephiroth bcr (converse) 00:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Someone close this - It has clearly passed, so load it up! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 12:22, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I agree. This has had five supports for ten days and six for eight days.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 00:02, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Close with consensus to promote - Things have been a bit slow around here lately and I appologise for that. However, promotions are meant to stay open for 10 days, and in this case, only yesterday was that limit effectively met - rst20xx (talk) 10:33, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Key visual novels[edit]

Main page Articles
Key (company) Kanon - Air (visual novel) - Clannad (visual novel) - Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume - Tomoyo After: It's a Wonderful Life - Little Busters! - Rewrite (visual novel)

I am nominating this for a Good Topic as all of the articles are GA, except for the last one which underwent a peer review, and since the article is so short, I believe the quality concerns for Rewrite (visual novel) have been met per the criteria. The related category Category:Key games holds the seven game articles, and the Good Topic title is taken from this category. Unfortunately, a free-use image for use in the topic box (pending it's approval) is unavailable.--十八 05:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - though maybe the topic should be called "Key visual novels" instead of "Key games"? The precedent set by the videogames topics is to use "titles" but I think this would be inappropriate here as Key has also made non-visual novel titles such as the animation, which are not included here - rst20xx (talk) 19:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, Key has participated in overseeing the animation and other adaptations of their titles, but if we're talking about products produced, then "Key titles" would work just as fine.--十八 03:16, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, I see what you're saying, but I still think "Key titles" implies somewhat that the anime should maybe be included too. "Key visual novels" has no such problem - rst20xx (talk) 14:01, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, that sounds good then.--十八 19:08, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, I'll change it then - rst20xx (talk) 00:51, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support — great work on all of these visual novel articles. Keep it up. sephiroth bcr (converse) 21:47, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - No reason to keep it from being a good topic when all of the articles excluding Rewrite is a good article, though I'd suggest something else other than "Key games" be used instead. -- クラウド６６８ 08:07, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment please change the name of the topic to something less confusing, say "Games released by Key". Nergaal (talk) 20:12, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question I am totally confused, the topic is called Key games, which sounds like POV to begin with, then the lead article is about a company, that according to its first sentence makes visual novels. Are they visual novels or games? Second the main artilce talks about a lot of things that have nothing to do with the other artilces. Why is this topic compleate? Zginder 2008-09-22T20:48Z (UTC)
  • A visual novel is a type of game. Reading the visual novel article might help :p sephiroth bcr (converse) 21:11, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • While the main article also includes things like Key Sounds Label and Key Radio, it also covers all the pertinent information on the visual novels Key produces. The criteria states at point 2: The topic has an introductory and summary lead article or list which is exactly what Key (company) does.--十八 03:11, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. While I'm a big proponent of having the lead article and the topic title being the same, this is a good example of where a topic works where the lead article and title of the topic are different. Rreagan007 (talk) 21:22, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Had some concerns earlier about the topic title, but they've already been addressed. --erachima talk 03:10, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Support I do not like the lead, but can live with it. Zginder 2008-10-02T16:00Z (UTC)
  • Close with consensus to promote - rst20xx (talk) 22:04, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
