Featured and good topics in Wikipedia 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 [edit] 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 [edit] 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.

The history of the National Hockey League begins with the end of its predecessor league, the National Hockey Association (NHA), in 1917. After unsuccessfully attempting to resolve disputes with Eddie Livingstone, owner of the Toronto Blueshirts, executives of the three other NHA franchises suspended the NHA, and formed the National Hockey League (NHL), replacing the Livingstone team with a temporary team in Toronto, the Arenas. The NHL's first quarter-century saw the league compete against two rival major leagues—the Pacific Coast Hockey Association and Western Canada Hockey League—for players and the Stanley Cup. The NHL first expanded into the United States in 1924 with the founding of the Boston Bruins, and by 1926 consisted of ten teams in Ontario, Quebec, the Great Lakes region, and the Northeastern United States. At the same time, the NHL emerged as the only major league and the sole competitor for the Stanley Cup; in 1947, the NHL completed a deal with the Stanley Cup trustees to gain full control of the Cup. The NHL's footprint spread across Canada as Foster Hewitt's radio broadcasts were heard coast-to-coast starting in 1933.

• Comment: Perhaps the split discussion at Talk:History of the National Hockey League (1992–present)#Move to 1992–2017? that's been going on since February should be resolved first. There exists a draft at Draft:History of the National Hockey League (since 2017) which was worked on as recently as two days ago. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:02, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  It looks like there was support for a split and the draft is in good shape. Instead of being bold and moving the draft to main space myself, I've reached out to the draft creator here to see if they intend to move it to main space. They haven't edited in a few days, so we may need to be patient. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:25, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm one of the other editors on that draft, I've been meaning to port over content from Arizona Coyotes and Utah NHL team to fill out the currently-empty last section but haven't gotten around to it. Once that's done, the draft should be good to publish. The Kip ^(contribs) 17:43, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Fully expanded the aforementioned section, improved coverage of Tampa Bay's B2B and added a section on Boston's record-breaking season as well. Let me know if anything else is needed. The Kip ^(contribs) 06:37, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Just following up - @Hey man im josh, would I be good to move the draft to mainspace and perform the associated removals/page moves/template edits associated with doing so? Only issue is that 2017-present will then need to go through the GA process, which will hold up this FT nom. The Kip ^(contribs) 17:21, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @The Kip: I don't see any reason why not. There did seem to be a general consensus in favor of the split and it's well written, so I say shoot. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Hey man im josh I've moved to mainspace and nominated it for GA in order to keep the ball rolling on this nom. I believe I've taken care of all the associated moves, edits, removals, etc - please let me know if I've missed anything. The Kip ^(contribs) 19:33, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

XR228 (talk) 19:44, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the current list of articles is okay as they're the ones included in the NHL series template. By criteria 1.c, these articles are shared in a common template. There's probably an argument to make the series more sophisticated, but the articles you've mentioned could very well be compiled into other topics/series/templates. For example, the two television history articles could go under a National Hockey League on television lead with articles from the NHL on TV template. I just think the series template is clearly defined and this topic is a direct and complete representation of that, which is what we're after. Idiosincrático (talk) 14:59, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The tornado outbreak of May 4–6, 2007 was a devastating tornado outbreak that took place in Kansas, resulting in the deaths of thirteen people. Eleven of these deaths alone came from the 2007 Greensburg tornado, a massive EF5 tornado and the first in the United States to be rated as such. The tornado leveled Greensburg, leaving 95% of the town damaged.

PresN created the Mana series topic in 2015, and believed it completed, but over the years it has been added to twice. Now, the latest series entry Visions of Mana has released and I managed to get the article through the GAN process within the three month limit, so it can be added to this topic. I didn't think I'd be so enthused about this game, but I have been, and I'll be more than happy if it can join its fellows in this topic. Also pinging @Judgesurreal777 and IDV: as they contributed to the first supplementary nomination with their work on Adventure of Mana.

• Hold Echoes of Mana, a recent release, has just been added and is notable, but not yet at Good Article quality.

  • Oh.... --ProtoDrake (talk) 22:45, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not to add to the bubble-bursting, but I also believe Secret of Mana (2018 video game) can and should be an article before this Good Topic could be called comprehensive. While it gets short shrift in the article, and I'm sure some fans would rather see it forgotten, it's nevertheless a full 3D remake with its own dev team and reviews, and remakes tend to be notable enough for articles, including multiple remakes in this Good Topic, such as Adventures of Mana and Trials of Mana (2020 video game). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:59, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I'm not really sold that obscure mobile spinoff Echoes of Mana is blocking here. I get that topics should be comprehensive-ish but this could theoretically be covered as Circle of Mana is, just in Mana (series). If it is spun out, I'd be more willing to give it a pass as not required as a very minor "part" of the series - it'd be like not including video game series-themed pachislot spinoffs in a topic. That said... Secret of Mana (2018 video game) is more concerning. It looks like that's a mere one sentence in the main Secret of Mana article. I get not wanting to gunk up a featured article with unrelated stuff, but I do agree that this was a full remake akin to Adventures of Mana and should either have a full section in the Secret of Mana article, or its own separate article. SnowFire (talk) 15:50, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree, SnowFire. Honestly, I didn't see much coverage of the Secret of Mana remake, so while it could be expanded, it's unlikely to be more than a paragraph or two. As to Echoes, I don't know, but I don't have the IRL time or mental energy to commit to it, so maybe Zxcvbnm would like to take it on. --ProtoDrake (talk) 16:51, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      It doesn't seem tremendously hard to get to GA standards so maybe I'll give it a go. But I'd rather try to get the remake page created first given its comparatively higher priority, obvious mainline status, and general agreement it needs a page. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:56, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      • @Zxcvbnm: I'd contest your reasonings on the remake. Two editors' comments don't make "higher priority", "obvious mainline status" and "general agreement". --ProtoDrake (talk) 19:05, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

        Okay, maybe I was overstating it. But the fact remains there is a lot of coverage about it which makes me see it as major. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] etc. Certainly more than "I didn't see much coverage". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:13, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

        @Zxcvbnm: IMO those reviews could easily make up one paragraph of the main article. I'm against creating articles on remakes which would simple reuse/repeat information. But a stalled GT nomination isn't the place for this discussion. (Small addendum, Adventure of Mana is a renamed reworking for new platforms so relevant, and Trials of Mana remake has substantial differences in gameplay so relevant, while Secret of Mana remake appears not to have that many differences from the original) --ProtoDrake (talk) 19:22, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

        To summarize ProtoDrake's concerns with a potential page for the 3D remake of Secret of Mana: The remake is just a 3D version of Secret of Mana with voice acting and not that much drastical changes compared to Adventure of Mana and Trials of Mana. Information on the 3D remake would fit just fine in the main page for Secret of Mana, just like how it was handled with Live A Live. Roberth Martinez (talk) 19:49, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • (de-indent) Let's add that paragraph then - expand the paragraph in Secret of Mana#Re-releases on what precisely 2018 SoM was, its differences from the original, etc. Then add a new section in Secret of Mana#Reception and legacy that discusses the reviews of 2018 SoM, both on its own merits and as a remake. SnowFire (talk) 20:06, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @SnowFire: I've made a start on that. The 2018 SoM remake now has its development added, and based on the info I found, the devs confirm it's basically no different from the original sans graphics and a few other smaller additions, so having a whole article for it would be redundant. (Addendum: added reception now, and...it's once again nothing much.) --ProtoDrake (talk) 21:21, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Okay, I'll abandon the idea for the remake to get a separate article and just focus on Echoes. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:23, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The 2023–24 College Football Playoff was a single-elimination postseason tournament that determined the national champion of the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. It was the tenth edition of the College Football Playoff and involved the top four teams in the country as ranked by the College Football Playoff poll. The playoff consisted of two semifinal games, played at the Sugar Bowl and the Rose Bowl, with the winners of each advancing to the national championship game. Each participating team was the champion of its respective conference: No. 1 Michigan from the Big Ten Conference, No. 2 Washington from the Pac-12 Conference, No. 3 Texas from the Big 12 Conference, and No. 4 Alabama from the Southeastern Conference. Michigan and Washington won their respective semifinal games and Michigan won the national championship game, 34–13, to secure their first outright national championship since 1948.

• Noting that 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football rankings is also in Category:2023–24 College Football Playoff. Any thoughts on the 4 team season articles for the 4 teams involved in these games being included in the scope? Hey man im josh (talk) 01:17, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Hey man im josh I assume the ranking article is included in the category solely because the CFP rankings are listed there, since they don't have a separate article. As for the team season articles, I would argue against adding them because the playoff itself as an entity comprises just the games. While the teams, of course, do participate in the games, my instinct would be that the teams would not belong in this topic. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 02:26, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I don't have a strong opinion either way, but I thought I'd ask to pick your brain on it a bit. I get your line of thinking and I do agree that technically it's a set if you're considering just the playoff structure. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:40, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Support without ranking inclusion. The rankings in the category kinda throws it slightly out of whack.
