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

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

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.

Good topic nominations

Crash Bandicoot video games

Crash Bandicoot is a series of video games created by Naughty Dog and owned and published by Activision. The mainline entries are 3D platformers following the anthropomorphic bandicoot Crash and his allies as they foil the schemes of Doctor Neo Cortex and his minions. The series began with the 1996 PlayStation game Crash Bandicoot, followed by the sequels Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (1997) and Crash Bandicoot: Warped (1998). Mainline titles released after Naughty Dog's departure include Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (2001) and Crash Twinsanity (2004) by Traveller's Tales, as well as Crash of the Titans (2007) and Crash: Mind over Mutant (2008) by Radical Entertainment. In 2020, Toys for Bob released Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, a sequel to the original trilogy; a planned follow-up was cancelled in 2024, partly due to that title's underperformance. Beyond platformers, the series includes kart racing games, party games, crossovers, and mobile spin-offs.

I am making this nomination for Good Topic, as the list of video games has just been promoted to Featured List, and all games in the series are Good Article status. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 00:34, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Genshin Impact is an action role-playing game developed by miHoYo which features an anime-style open world environment. It takes place in the fantasy world of Teyvat, which is home to various regions that are based off of real-world cultures. The game's story follows the Traveler, an interstellar adventurer who is separated from their twin sibling after landing in Teyvat. After that, the Traveler journeys across the various nations of Teyvat in search of their sibling, accompanied by their guide Paimon. (See also List of Genshin Impact characters#Cultural representation controversies. Not sure how best to work this into the rest of the intro but I think it's important to note.)

Contributor(s): Gommeh

The main Genshin Impact article reached GA yesterday, and there are five articles out of the seven currently released regions in the game (the other two being not notable enough for articles) that are also GA's. Should any other region get an article in the future, I will of course add it then once it reaches GA status. --Gommeh 📖   🎮 21:51, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging @IngeniousPachyderm, Noleander, TheNuggeteer, Icepinner, and Nub098765 as the GA reviewers for the articles in the topic. Gommeh 📖   🎮 22:11, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Very, very impressive work on those articles, but I don't think criterion 1d of WP:GT? (There are no obvious gaps (missing or low-quality articles) in the topic. A topic must not cherry-pick only the best articles to become featured together) is satisfied. The topic is on Genshin Impact as a whole, yet you've only included the locations. The nomination misses List of Genshin Impact characters, Music of Genshin Impact, and Genius Invokation TCG (maybe Yu-Peng Chen as well?). Icepinner (Come to Hakurei Shrine!) 23:47, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The topic header says "Genshin Impact locations", but the main header is for the main game article. This only focuses on the locations as a subcategory. Gommeh 📖   🎮 00:12, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
D'oh, my mistake. I do agree with Cat's Tuxedo, though; I think it makes more sense for the lead article to be Teyvat, if it's notable enough. If Teyvat isn't notable, then I'm not too sure whether this arrangement works. I've struck out my opposition, but I'm not too sure about supporting it. I'll probably support it if Teyvat is found to be not notable. Icepinner (Come to Hakurei Shrine!) 02:58, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I already checked in that regard, I doubt Teyvat is notable itself as a whole.
As a side note, I may decide in the future to do another one focusing on the characters when I get List of Genshin Impact characters to FL. And it's fine that you didn't realize that I was only doing locations at first; I didn't specify that in the header when I first submitted this because I thought it would have been obvious, so I've added that in there for clarity.Gommeh 📖   🎮 18:19, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Drive-by suggestion: Since Tevyat appears to be the primary setting of this game, with the other articles being nations within it, it would probably make more sense to create an article on Tevyat if possible and, should that be promoted to GA, have that be the main article of this topic.

Tinashe studio albums

I nominate Tinashe studio albums as GT, as her studio albums articles are recently passed GA. Specially thanks to @RedShellMomentum: for the GA reviews.

  • Support: Albums are GA and discography is FL, so good to go. RedShellMomentum 02:20, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support NimbleNumbat (talk) 06:40, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: On paper this is a support, but I'm a bit concerned over the quality of the GA reviews conducted for the albums, given that all of them passed almost immediately with very few comments. Aside from the fact that none of the GA reviews indicate that a spotcheck occurred (usually the sources checked would be mentioned at some point in the review), there are lots of little things in some of the articles which probably should have been found and addressed during the GA reviews: Nightride doesn't have a Commercial performance section, Joyride lacks a composition section, many of the articles are missing complete or cited personnel sections, etc. I'm also seeing massive WP:OVERQUOTE issues in all of the articles except maybe Songs for You, where the Reception sections are almost entirely made up of direct quotes instead of paraphrased exposition. Per WP:RECEPTION, this overuse of direct quotes can be seen as a copyright violation, and it definitely should have been addressed during the GA reviews for the albums (WP:GACR6#2d). Thus, while the topic may look complete, I feel like the quality of the individual articles are not enough for me to support it just yet. Leafy46 (talk) 05:58, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Leafy46: I almost addressed the problems you've mentioned. However, should all of the album articles contain "Commercial performance" and "Compisition" sections? For now, I made "Commercial performance" on Nightride and "Music" on Joyride, but actually, they're not essential, including credits on personnel, since this good article's Personnel section is not cited either. Camilasdandelions (talk!) 09:07, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm unsure what you mean here by saying those section are "not essential", as any major lapse in an article's coverage makes it fail WP:GACR6#3a, and missing entire sections of an article like this are a clear violation of that rule. MOS:ALBUM clearly states that a composition section is necessary if there is commentary about the style of an album, and if there is commentary about its individual songs. Commercial performance sections are also required per MOS:ALBUM; in fact, a text version of the information is the preferred format, with the table being the optional component. Finally, credits and personnel section may not need to be cited, but they should at least be complete, and having a citation is an easy way to prove that. This is especially true for 333, as I hardly believe that the only personnel involved are the album artists and package designers.
    It's these sorts of holes which make me unconfident in the quality of the GA reviews. Again, almost all of them were passed with only a few minor complaints, if any at all, despite these large issues being fairly obvious from nothing more than a skim through the articles. Especially because the review don't provide any evidence to suggest that a spotcheck has been conducted, I thus am not personally comfortable supporting this nomination until other user(s) have looked through these articles to verify their quality. Leafy46 (talk) 19:49, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Just to be clear here, I'm not going to outright oppose this nomination. If other users don't see an issue with the quality of the GA reviews here and choose to support this nomination, that's fine with me. However, I also don't support this nomination either, hence why I'm leaving my vote as nothing but a "comment" for others to consider. Leafy46 (talk) 19:54, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Leafy46: As you addressed, "but they should at least be complete", Personnel section on 333 has been improved thanks to Tidal. Also, please check that I added Commercial performance and Music (working same as Composition) on Nightride and Joyride respectively. Camilasdandelions (talk!) 03:04, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Quantum Baby

Quantum Baby is the seventh studio album by American singer Tinashe. It was released on August 16, 2024 through her own independent label, Tinashe Music Inc., and Nice Life Recording Company. The album was supported by three singles, "Nasty", "Getting No Sleep" and "No Broke Boys". The lead single "Nasty" received global hit through TikTok, eventually peaking at number 61 on Billboard Hot 100. Additionally, the 2025 remix of "No Broke Boys", by Disco Lines, also met global success, charting at number 2 on UK Singles Chart. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, reaching at number 199 on Billboard 200.

Nominating these series for WP:GT since all of the articles above recently passed GA. Seems these articles have similar topics at all.

Oppose Missed the concert tour article which are generally included in these types of topics. NimbleNumbat (talk) 06:36, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From the lead: "The Huon Peninsula campaign was a series of battles fought in north-eastern Papua New Guinea in 1943–1944 during the Second World War. The campaign formed the initial part of an offensive the Allies launched in the Pacific in late 1943 and resulted in the Japanese being pushed north from Lae to Sio on the northern coast of New Guinea over the course of a four-month period."

Contributor(s): AustralianRupert (one of the authors, retired); Hawkeye7 (main author, active); Matarisvan (nominator)

A chance encounter today led to this nomination. I saw the Sattelberg article at the On This Day anniversaries section, and learnt to my pleasant surprise all of the articles in the campaign were GAs. I didn't include the Battle of Madang in this topic because I believe it fits better in the Markham, Ramu and Finisterre campaigns topic. If editors want Madang to be included here, I can add it later. --Matarisvan (talk) 15:27, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In which case could you perhaps add it? Gog the Mild (talk) 19:25, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Gog the Mild and Hawkeye7, added the Battle of Madang to the nomination as recommended. Matarisvan (talk) 11:13, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Bleh! You can't find a conominator? Eh well, that's a shame. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:41, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

American singer Madonna has released 83 music videos, eleven concert tour videos, two documentary videos, four music video compilations, two music video box sets, four promotional videos, and four video singles. Nicknamed as the "Queen of Videos" or "Queen of MTV", her music videos were often considered by critics as works of art, depicting various social issues. Her early videos also received a significant academic attention.

Contributor(s): 11JORN, IndianBio, Legolas2186, Chrishm21

One more from the extensive work of WP:MADONNA. This only counts the music video compilations and concert tour videos without an attached album (if you think those are necessary, all four - The Confessions Tour, Sticky & Sweet Tour, MDNA World Tour, Rebel Heart Tour - are already GAs and could be included), leaving the documentaries for a planned one regarding her filmography. igordebraga 01:06, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Topic removal candidates

The Simpsons season 4

This is the fifth of 11 Simpsons season good topics being nominated for removal here (seasons 1, 2, 3, and 9) due to its main article being delisted from Featured list status on September 1, 2025. The retention period for this one expired December 1, 2025. JHD0919 (talk) 21:49, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Guessing this one flew under the radar since no notice was posted on the retention periods at Wikipedia:Featured and good topic criteria. Anyways, this topic currently fails GT/FT criteria 1d and 1e, due to the absence of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which was released in April 2025 but remains a Start-class article with little to no work being done on it to reach GA or FA. As a remaster of the game, it falls under the topic. And just in-case there is doubt of whether a future remake/remaster of a work counts for a topic, Wikipedia:Good topics/The Last of Us includes the game's 2021 remake The Last of Us Part I. The remaster of Oblivion obviously should be a part of this topic. Also worth noting that, even if this article were a GA, it would still fail the featured topic requirement of needing 50% of articles to be featured. So even if the article is somehow improved on time, the topics featured status would need to be reconsidered. λ NegativeMP1 20:45, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The Joy of Sect was demoted on 9 August 2025 and The Simpsons season 9 was demoted on 1 September 2025. While there was some effort made to rescue the first article (it even was nominated for good article status, but then the nominator became inactive), the same can't be said for the second article, and without them the topic fails criterion 3.b. Armbrust The Homunculus 08:17, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Cheddar Gorge and Clevedon Court were both demoted on 28 September 2025, there is no effort to change that, and without them the topic fails criterion 3.b. Armbrust The Homunculus 08:03, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
