Wikipedia:Featured and good topic removal candidates

Removing Good and Featured Topics in Wikipedia If you feel a topic on Wikipedia:Featured topics or a topic on Wikipedia:Good topics should no longer be there, then this is the place to nominate it for demotion. Only topics that do not adhere to the good or featured topic criteria should be listed. Objections raised must be actionable. Do not nominate topics that have recently been promoted (such complaints should have been brought up during the candidacy period on Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates), or topics that have recently survived a removal attempt—such nominations are likely to be removed summarily. Once a topic has been nominated on this page for ten days, the discussion will be assessed for consensus by one of the FGTC coordinators, who will close the discussion. If there is consensus to remove, it will be removed from the list of featured topic, and added to the list of former featured topics. All discussions will be logged at Wikipedia:Featured topic removal candidates/archive. The removal instructions are located here. |

Nomination procedure
Supporting and objecting[edit]Please read all the articles of the nominated topic fully before deciding to support or oppose a nomination.
Consensus must be reached for a topic to be removed from featured status. If enough time passes without objections being resolved, nominations will be removed from the candidates list and archived. As a general guide, new topics will remain on here for at least 10 days to allow for comment, and must have at least 4 remove votes (although consensus and lack of major objections are also important) for removal. | |
Topics nominated for removal
[edit]Meerkat Manor
[edit]
List of Meerkat Manor meerkats was delisted from Featured list status on July 8. The retention period expired October 9. JHD0919 (talk • contribs) 13:31, 12 October 2026 (UTC)
- Delist unless someone undertakes to resuscitate the delisted article. Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:07, 16 October 2026 (UTC)
- Delist per nominator. Armbrust The Homunculus 11:23, 19 October 2026 (UTC)
Presidents of Georgetown University
[edit]
Eduardo Peñalver became Georgetown president on July 1, and with his corresponding article never receiving a GAN prior to the expiration of the retention period on October 1, this topic fails criterion 3.b. JHD0919 (talk • contribs) 16:54, 3 October 2026 (UTC)
- Delist per nominator. (Robert Groves is also needed for the topic.) Armbrust The Homunculus 20:29, 7 October 2026 (UTC)
- Delist unless someone undertakes to resuscitate the delisted article. This one seems a shame. Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:08, 16 October 2026 (UTC)
San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest
[edit]
Eurovision Song Contest 2026 concluded on May 16, and with San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 never receiving a GAN prior to expiration of the retention period on August 16, this topic fails criterion 3.b. JHD0919 (talk) 21:12, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
- I'll work on it over the next few weeks. I already compiled most of the sources. Thanks for the nudge! Grk1011 (talk) 01:21, 18 August 2026 (UTC)
- Delist unless someone undertakes to resuscitate the delisted article. Let's go, San Marino! Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:09, 16 October 2026 (UTC)
- It wasn't delisted, I just haven't had time to get the most recent participation to GA. I'm planning to have it nominated before the end of the month though. Grk1011 (talk) 02:47, 17 October 2026 (UTC)
- At the end of the month? This topic is already two months over the retention period (a recurring problem for this topic - this the third removal nomination for it for the last three articles needed for the topic). Thus I vote to delist. Armbrust The Homunculus 11:22, 19 October 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, end of month. If it's delisted now, we'll just be right back here with a new GT nom in a few weeks. I figure it's easier to wait than to cause an additional processes. It can be tough to balance real life and editing, but my goal is to reduce the amount of work by others as well. Unlike a GA or FA where the presence of the top corner indication shows something about the quality of the article to the reader, GT indications are rather behind the scenes. Not sure I see the harm in waiting other than it being against the retention period. I think the end result is the same, just one option leads to more work. Grk1011 (talk) 13:14, 19 October 2026 (UTC)
- Noting for the record that the article is now at GAN. JHD0919 (talk • contribs) 11:57, 26 October 2026 (UTC)

Kanye West studio albums
[edit]
Bully was released on March 28, and with its corresponding article never receiving a GAN prior to the expiration of the retention period on June 28, this topic fails criterion 3.b. JHD0919 (talk) 14:00, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
Delist per nomination. I know Kyle Peak it the promoter of most of this GA's and he might be able to promote it back when the time is right.MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:06, 5 July 2026 (UTC)- Comment I don't think I'd be allowed to vote on this list as a contributor to majority of these albums, however I don't think calling for demotion is suitable here. This is because while the retention period has been reached, myself and other editors have been working on Bully as you can see a record of on my talk page. --K. Peake 18:07, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
- Judging from the talk page it appears that @RTSthestardust and @Wackistan have also been working on the article. Paging them both here for their thoughts. JHD0919 (talk) 18:14, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, I would say to leave it for a bit since we're nearly done. Once the composition section is rewritten I'll submit it for GA. Wackistan (talk) 23:19, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
- Coordinator comment: Sounds good, we are happy to leave it for now. Thanks for the communication. Aza24 (talk) 22:15, 11 July 2026 (UTC)
- How is this coming along, Wackistan?--NØ 20:14, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
- RTSthestardust was writing the new composition section but I don't think he's touched it in a bit. I'm pretty sure I have enough time today to finish it for him and add it in, though I'd prefer if someone else nominates the article themselves. Wackistan (talk) 21:53, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
- I had been focused on other projects at this time, but I might continue working on it tonight. It's a difficult article to go through. Once I'm done with the composition section, I'll merge it in with the whole article. - RTSthestardust (talk) 00:01, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
- I finished and finally stitched the composition section with the latest revision prior to that edit RTSthestardust (talk) 03:56, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
- @Wackistan @Kyle Peake @JHD0919 I've been improving it further with illustrating the article and especially from the composition section. I wouldn't really nominate it yet until these things are finished: citation cleaning (like linking the websites on citations), working on personnel/what streaming service to credit, and info about the tour/concerts being more concise and less messy. RTSthestardust (talk) 03:56, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
- For streaming services to credit, I'd suggest using maybe Spotify? It's the only one Gamma prioritizes updating the credits on (for example, Al Be Back's writing credit on "Damn" wasn't added to Apple, as was Glen 'Divinci' Valencia Jr.'s credit on "I Can't Wait". Wackistan (talk) 05:30, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
- Not sure why I was pinged here. I couldn't nominate it even if I wanted to, as it would be considered a drive-by nom. JHD0919 (talk) 10:32, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
- Btw, I'm working on the track list and personnel on my sandbox to replace with. It would be better and concise than what remained on the article for months. - RTSthestardust (talk) 15:00, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
