Would this work as an eventual good topic?

[edit]

Hello, I'm not familiar with how featured/good topics work, so I was wondering if my idea for a future GT would be something possible. I was thinking it'd be called "1933 Philadelphia Eagles season" and I'd have to get the Eagles season to GA, as well as their head coach (Lud Wray) and all 35 of their players (Template:1933 Philadelphia Eagles), while their owner/general manager, Bert Bell, is already GA. If I were to get the season, coach, and all the players to GA status, would that qualify as a good or featured topic? Thanks, BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:45, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think historically the "X team season" has been include the season article and games that were played. Per 1, 2, 3. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:31, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@OlifanofmrTennant: Hmmm... though, in this case, there were no notable games played in the season that could be included. I do see Wikipedia:Good topics/2011–12 Australia women's national goalball team which seems to include the players. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:48, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well in that case the lead article is 2011–12 Australia women's national goalball team, there is no 1933 Philadelphia Eagles season team article Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:54, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would of thought the 1933 Philadelphia Eagles team and the 1933 Philadelphia Eagles season are the same thing? BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:00, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They are. The comparisons above don't really work well as they are different sports/leagues -- ZooBlazer 18:20, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I see no reason why the 1933 Philadelphia Eagles team could not become an article and then be the lead article of a G/FT. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:32, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Gog the Mild: Historically, the football project has never written separate articles about the rosters for individual team seasons. I don't think there's really enough coverage about that particular team's roster to warrant a standalone article (the season and players are notable, but a standalone specifically about the players as a whole doesn't really have enough coverage).

One or two topics?

[edit]

I have a GT that I'm nearing completion on (only two GA's away). I was initially planning on putting everything into one topic, but after seeing how some of the other television-related topics have been historically set up, I was wondering if it would be better suited as two, or if I should just stick with the one?

One topic format:

edit | discuss
Line of Duty
9 articles
List of Line of Duty episodes
List of awards and nominations received by Line of Duty
Line of Duty series 1
Line of Duty series 2
Line of Duty series 3
Line of Duty series 4
Line of Duty series 5
Line of Duty series 6

Two topic format:

edit | discuss
Line of Duty
3 articles
List of Line of Duty episodes(subtopic)
List of awards and nominations received by Line of Duty
edit | discuss
Seasons of Line of Duty
7 articles
Line of Duty series 1
Line of Duty series 2
Line of Duty series 3
Line of Duty series 4
Line of Duty series 5
Line of Duty series 6

I'd say sub topic makes the most sense. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:00, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Has this nomination been properly closed?

[edit]
Topic nomination has since closed. Idiosincrático (talk) 22:37, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Djibouti at the Olympics/archive2 was apparently withdrawn, but its nomination still shows up in relevant WikiProjects' article alerts. Was it closed properly, i.e. is there anything else that needs to be done? Yue🌙 08:01, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From GT to FT?

[edit]

Fearless (Taylor Swift album) was promoted as a Good Topic, but with its current number of Featured Articles, it is now qualified as a Featured Topic. Is there any procedure to officialize this? Ippantekina (talk) 04:03, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@FGTC coordinators: please advise tysm! Ippantekina (talk) 07:52, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For the correct process, I would say you need to put this through the featured topic candidates since the previous nomination only had consensus to become a GT, making a new one needed for FT. --K. Peake 08:55, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok let me create a new nomination, thanks! Ippantekina (talk) 09:55, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This was previously discussed here in January where it was said that "GTs eligible for FT status do not require a nomination." Not sure which is actually correct, just noting the discrepancy in answers. Pinging @MaranoFan: as a courtesy since they responded there. TheDoctorWho (talk) 16:46, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I do not think a new nomination is required in this case. I moved my own Thank You GT to FT two years back and we haven't discussed changing the procedure since. Maybe Aza24 can confirm.--NØ 16:57, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think there is a strict/decided rule for this. I would say it is not particularly worthwhile to necessitate an entirely new nomination. Aza24 (talk) 23:26, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have had three GTs promoted to FTs. None of them were renominated. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:40, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Neat, I noticed a few topics that would be eligible during one of my regular rounds of updating redirects in the topics. I'll go ahead n get those done then. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:22, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, I totally missed this discussion. Alright, roger that! Ippantekina (talk) 14:10, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@FGTC coordinators: Now that Scott Carpenter has been promoted as a featured article, Wikipedia:Featured topics/Mercury Seven can now become a Featured Topic. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:48, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
