Removing featured lists in Wikipedia This page is for the review and improvement of featured lists that may no longer meet the featured list criteria. FLs should be kept at current standards, regardless of when they were promoted. Any objections raised in the review must be actionable. The FLC director, Giants2008, or his delegates, PresN and Hey man im josh, determine the exact timing of the process for each nomination. Nominations will last at least 14 days, and longer where changes are ongoing and it seems useful to continue the process. For a nomination to be kept, consensus must be reached that it still meets the criteria. Consensus is built among reviewers and nominators; the delegates determine whether there is consensus. A nomination will be removed from the list, archived and added to Former featured lists if, in the judgment of the director who considers a nomination and its reviews:
Nominations may be closed earlier than the allotted two weeks if, in the judgment of the FLRC delegate, the list in the nomination:
Do not nominate lists that have recently been promoted (such complaints should have been brought up during the candidacy period as featured list candidates) or lists that have recently survived a removal attempt – such nominations are likely to be removed summarily. A bot will update the list talk page after the list has been kept or the nomination has been archived; the delay in bot processing can range from minutes to several days, and the |

Nominations for removal
- Notified: The Rambling Man, Video games, Awards, Apps, Lists
Looking at when the was nominated, which was three days after the awards were presented, it definitely seemed like a second year of these were expected but that never happened. And looking at the sources used, most of them come from the Appy Awards website itself. Also don't believe that What Mobile is a reliable source. It just looks too barebones to really be called a Featured List with it just being two paragraphs and a table. GamerPro64 02:59, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
- Remove. I think it's possible that this is the best the article can ever be, which is commendable, but I also don't think every topic can qualify for featured status. I don't think this article qualifies for AFD, but the three secondary sources in Daily Telegraph, BBC, and What Mobile are all rather short and not particularly in-depth stories. A Google for "Appy Awards -wikipedia" does not turn up a lot of stuff that could be added, either. I don't think the secondary sourcing is strong enough here. SnowFire (talk) 05:31, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
This list is missing key sections (namely production and reception), has poor sourcing (too many primary sources or lower-quality sources), and overall fails to meet present-day expectations for season articles. See the related FLRCs for season 1 and season 2 – several editors in the latter discussion expressed support for delisting additional seasons. (FLC directors: I am unsure what the limit is for FLRCs, but for now, I will assume it is two nominations once one has started developing a consensus, like FLC.) RunningTiger123 (talk) 02:26, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Remove. Similar to season 2, season articles aren't lists so this can't be a FL, and as an article this isn't even close to a GA level. Gonnym (talk) 11:58, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Remove for the same reasoning as seasons 1 and 2. Sgubaldo (talk) 16:40, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

I am nominating this as the data is 25 (!!!) years out of date, missing both the 2010 and 2020 census updates. It was one of the earlier featured lists but hasn't been taken care of for well over a decade. Mattximus (talk) 17:30, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- In addition to 25 year old data, there is also lots of unsourced sections, no alt text for images, a census designated place is added for some reason (unsourced), outdated wording ("The map shown below is clickable"), broken format in notes, just very far from featured standards. Mattximus (talk) 17:35, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- I have notified the original FLC nominator, Ruhrfisch (diff). RunningTiger123 (talk) 02:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notification. Is there a model FL that we could look at for updates? Would updating to 2020 Census data be sufficient (or should the list have 2000, 2010, and 2020 data, and if so why not go back further in time)? Also, if we are making improvements, what time frame is there? - Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:14, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Just 2020 should be sufficient for this list. Any more and the table would be too wide. There is quite a bit more that just the new census data needed to get it up to standard, but I'm sure there should be sufficient time if someone is working on it. Mattximus (talk) 03:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- I have a link which I think should work as one reference for the 2020 US Census populations of all 52 incorporated divisions, as well as all 52 of their areas - see https://data.census.gov/profile?g=060XX00US4208102656. Or would you prefer links to each of the 52 individual 2020 US Census pages for each township, borough, and city for the population and 52 more individual links for each of the 52 areas (so 1 link or 104 links for references)? - Ruhrfisch ><>°° 15:47, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- One link in header would be ideal. Usually the US Census includes a single document with all the counties on one page, but honestly that is minor and can be done later. I'm happy with the link you provided in the header. No need for 104 links. Mattximus (talk) 21:41, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Updates and Improvements
I am starting a new section to keep track of edits made to update and improve the list.
- Edited the lead map to remove the Census-Designate Place (CDP), and its labels, and moved the Old Lycoming Township label inside the township - see File:Map of Lycoming County Pennsylvania With Municipal and Township Labels.png, it may take a while to update how it displays here.
- Removed the row on the Garden View CDP from the table. - Ruhrfisch ><>°° 15:47, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Added alt text to all photos and maps with captions (not sure what to do with other maps).
- Edited the image map template to remove the CDP and removed "Clickable map" test here
- Switched all "Image:" names to "File:" - Ruhrfisch ><>°° 22:42, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
This FLRC follows the delisting of Bleach season 1 for many of the same reasons as that list: missing key sections (namely production and reception), poor sourcing (too many primary sources or lower-quality sources such as Amazon), and overall not aligning with present-day expectations for season articles. The original nominator is inactive; please feel free to notify anyone in a better position to help. RunningTiger123 (talk) 01:53, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- Delist: The article clearly does not meet the current standards required to qualify as a featured article. The articles of seasons 3–10 and List of Bleach episodes, which are also featured articles, should be delisted as well. Xexerss (talk) 02:18, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that seasons 3–10 should be delisted in their current state, but I'm taking them one by one as I've never seen a bundled nomination. (Since they were promoted individually, they should probably be delisted individually.) RunningTiger123 (talk) 02:45, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- Remove, perfect example of a season article that doesn't belong at GA, let alone FL or FA. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:55, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- Remove per nom and all above. Would also support further delisting of seasons 3-10 and the list of episodes article as mentioned above. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:05, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

2007 promotion, fails FLCR 3b with several citation needed tags and an unsourced section. Also fails 5c; flag and seal should not be sortable and the former counties table does not have column and row headers. Talk page concerns went unanswered. charlotte 👸♥ 03:12, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- I've fixed the table accessibility issues that you've pointed out.
- Remaining problems:
- Sourcing issues.
- The lead map, and the flags and seal images in the table require alt text. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:58, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- I would recommend in general removing the FIPS code column, which is meaningless to almost everyone and makes the table too wide for most screens. Mattximus (talk) 15:12, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Also there is no date for both the population and area in the heading row. Mattximus (talk) 17:21, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- I've added a few sources – couldn't address all of the "citation needed" tags, but it's a start. RunningTiger123 (talk) 03:00, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- I've added one more source but found nothing in reliable sources regarding the defunct counties. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 08:27, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
