Marshall Islands at the Olympics[edit]
- Contributor(s): Cameron11598 and Kees08
- I am nominating Marshall Islands at the Olynpics for a good topic candidate as it meets the criteria necissary to be conisdered. I have enjoyed the process in bringing further content to the level of good topic. --Cameron11598 (Talk) 00:03, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
In the main article, "Athletes by sport" in the table should not have pictograms as the headers, as it violates WP:Accessibility and is not necessarily obvious to all readers. I know not having won any medals and having been to few games makes it hard to compare, but I'd suggest changing it to match the style of tables on other articles that include the names of the sports. There's really no need to tabulate everything that can be presented as "Marshall Islands have won no medals" just as easily. I don't see the relevance of having been controlled by Spain, Germany, and Japan - this is not about their history in general, but specifically their sporting history, Olympic history, and participation at that Games. The Pre-Olympics article is just disjointed in general, with an irrelevant statement about geography in between gaining independence and forming an NOC. However I'm sure there is some other information related to MI's participation that could be included, such as local media or human interest pieces that for largest countries would be excluded as as basic news or minute relative to the decades of participation but for the MI would relevant or interesting for an island nation at the Olympics. Your Saint Kitts and Nevis and Djibouti articles have details on the NOC and training that are missing here. Also, you should be consistent with organization: this main page and SKN have the table sections last while Djibouti has them first. Reywas92Talk 08:39, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
- There has been almost no activity since this nomination was started almost 3 months ago, so I am closing with no consensus to promote. If the issues from the one comment are addressed, this topic will most likely have a better chance of passing the next time it is nominated.--十八 21:45, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

1988–89 Arsenal F.C. season[edit]
- Contributor(s): Lemonade51
I'm nominating this as a complete topic, an account of Arsenal's successful 1988–89 season. The matches included in the series pass the notability criteria -- Arsenal's participation in the Football League Centenary Trophy and that dramatic finish at Anfield. The main article summarises play throughout the season and includes statistics, ins and outs and nice pictures. All feedback is welcome, thanks in advance. :) Lemonade51 (talk) 21:47, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- Seems strange to not have 1988–89 Football League. Nergaal (talk) 13:44, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- Per, this nomination, where would you draw the line? Not about the overall league season, but Arsenal's which is covered in the main article. Lemonade51 (talk) 14:18, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- A topic of 1988-89 Football League would contain 1988-89 Arsenal F.C. season, not the other way around. Recommend not including. Kees08 (Talk) 02:34, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- Support - can't think of anything else which could be included here.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:51, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
- Director Comment - This nomination has been up since April and there hasn't been any comments since May. If there isn't a consensus reached by the end of the month I will have to close this nomination. GamerPro64 21:37, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
- Comment - I don't see how the above would need to be added; considering it's an article on the entire football league. 1988–89 Football League First Division doesn't exist, and would be the suitible target. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:18, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks @Lee Vilenski: for commenting, is there any chance you could vote so consensus can be met?! Lemonade51 (talk) 17:03, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
- It is now September and still only one vote for Support. This nomination is now Closed with no consensus to promote. I would recommend renominating this again in the near future. GamerPro64 17:15, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Pure Heroine[edit]
A user mentioned that the article qualifies for "good topic" status. Each article created has a "Good Article" badge. De88 (talk) 20:00, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Pure Heroine Tour is missing from the list and is nowhere close to becoming a GA. —IB [ Poke ] 03:33, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Agree with IndianBio, since Pure Heroine Tour isn't Ga and since tours are a crucial part of an album's cultural identity.TomasTomasTomas (talk) 16:07, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose as previously noted, this topic is incomplete when the tour article isn't yet at GA level. Snuggums (talk / edits) 00:17, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, I had encouraged this nomination, but didn't think to include Pure Heroine Tour. We can try nominating after the tour article has been promoted as well. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:09, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
- Comment, perhaps Book:The Love Club EP can be nominated instead (for now) or even merged with this topic. © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 23:55, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose due to the absence of Pure Heroine Tour. Aoba47 (talk) 21:15, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
- Closed with no consensus to promote.--十八 00:52, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
X&Y[edit]
X&Y is the third album by English alternative rock band Coldplay. Aside from the album, all its released singles are good articles.
That wasn't so hard. I am renominating this good topic with the request that it be restored; the one article which caused its removal was redirected through a surprisingly quick AfD. I am not an active contributor to the area. The original project was completed in 2008 by a pair of retired editors. dannymusiceditor oops 21:43, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. I copy-pasted the old nomination, haha. dannymusiceditor oops 14:54, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Without the concert toor in support for the album, Twisted Logic Tour, the topic is incomplete. Armbrust The Homunculus 08:45, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
- IF this is such a required article, why wasn't it included in the previous passed nomination? dannymusiceditor oops 13:58, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- I have no idea, but it's needed now. See for example Wikipedia:Featured topics/Breakout or Wikipedia:Featured topics/The Fame. Armbrust The Homunculus 15:25, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
- Do you have any idea how close, in terms of content only, it is to GA? (I know it has obvious referencing problems.) Do I need to add anything? If not I can source it soon an have a GAN quickly. dannymusiceditor oops 18:31, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

- Oppose Per Armbrust, and to answer your question DannyMusicEditor the article is million miles away from becoming a GA at its current state. —IB [ Poke ] 15:41, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, I know that for certain....but does it need more content or just references? dannymusiceditor oops 15:46, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- Both. —IB [ Poke ] 16:30, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- Gross. Withdrawing nomination. dannymusiceditor oops 17:01, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

- Closed with no consensus to promote. Feel free to nominate once Twisted Logic Tour becomes a GA.--十八 18:29, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
