Guitar Hero (1st supplementary nomination)[edit]
This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Guitar Hero for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:
This nomination is to add in the recent FL-promoted List of songs in Guitar Hero World Tour to this topic. --MASEM 18:10, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- Why not just wait until Guitar Hero World Tour is GA? Gary King (talk) 18:47, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I can get it to GA or better by Dec 12, the day that this article at least needed to be part of the topic per FT retention. (I had another article in the GA queue that took at least 2 weeks to clear). Also, the GHWT article would just be promoting it, not adding a new article, as its already listed. At this point, the only likely new article that I can see being added to the topic would be the Metallica song list, but that is not yet created as there's no info for it. --MASEM 19:18, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- Support - Gary, the way it works is that an article has 3 months from its creation to be included in the topic, and then three months from its release (so to speak) to be good/featured. As this article was created before the release date, it needed to be included before the game needs to get to good - rst20xx (talk) 23:30, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, I kind of get you there. So you're saying that the game's article has a release date, but the list does not, so it doesn't follow the rule that it has three months starting from its release date? Gary King (talk) 03:24, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- At the time I had this topic nominated originally, it was requested that the three upcoming game articles be added and at least peer reviewed to complete the topic. At that time, the info on World Tour was limited, and only hints of a songlist were present - not enough for its own article. On Sept 12 (or thereabouts) the full songlist was revealed, which necessitated the separate list - at that point, that article was created, and thus to meet the completeness, this article had to be at least peer reviewed and added as such to make the topic meet 1d (topic completeness). So the Dec 12 date to get this article into the topic was one thing (and that's what I'm doing now). Now, with the game released in late October, that starts a second clock on the quality of both articles - the World Tour game one, and this song list, to get the quality to at least GA or in the list case to FL as to meet the 3a requirement for featured topics, that in late January. Now, since I've got the songlist to FL, that's one of them done, I still have to get the GHWT to GA or better but that doesn't need a renomination of the topic once completed, just marking it as such.
- I am expected that the same cycle will be in place if/when Guitar Hero: Metallica's setlist is revealed (the Decades setlist is fine in the game's article body there since there's not much to say outside of the usual game elements, thus no need to split); a songlist will be created and that starts a 3 month timer to get it peer reviewed (at minimum) and into the topic, and then 3 months after release for both game and songlist articles to be GA or better. --MASEM 16:28, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
