- Comment After an unsuccessful TFA nomination last year, the article underwent a FAR throughout 2024 (see here), which resulted in retaining its FA status. The following options on when this article can appear on the Main Page.
March 15, 2025 - 20th anniversary of the release of her 2005 single "We Belong Together"- June 12, 2025 - 35th anniversary of her musical debut with her 1990 album Mariah Carey
- September 26, 2025 - 30th anniversary of the release of her 1995 album Daydream
- November 1, 2025 - Coinciding Carey's release of her "It's Time!" video, signaling the start of Christmas season
- December 4, 2025 - 5th anniversary of the recording of "Oh Santa!", which also features Jennifer Hudson and Ariana Grande
- March 16, 2026 - This marks 30 years to the date "One Sweet Day", Carey's duet single with Boyz II Men, became the longest-running number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100, for 16 weeks.
- Note: April 12, 2025 (20th anniversary of The Emancipation of Mimi) was not included to avoid conflict with a potentially scheduled article (Dolly de Leon) for TFA, as seen on WP:TFAP. Kindly vote below this line on when you want this page to appear. Thank you. ScarletViolet tc 12:20, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Support putting this on the main page feels safer after its FAR. I personally have another idea for a day: March 27, 2025 because that will be her 56th birthday. If this day isn't feasible, then my second choice would be the 15th for the anniversary of "We Belong Together". SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 13:01, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Comment The March 2025 dates have been stricken out, to avoid conflict with Carey's song "Your Girl". TFA date for this article may be moved to next year. ScarletViolet tc 12:24, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- Coordinator comment It would be nice if the blurb mentioned the June 12 date so as to explain to readers why it is being run on this particular day, so long as it can be squeezed under the 1,025 character limit. Wehwalt (talk) 19:16, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Once it is scheduled, discuss it at Talk:Main Page to be sure there are no technical objections. I plan on scheduling sometime around May 1 or so. Wehwalt (talk) 20:02, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
