Wikipedia:Featured and good topic removal candidates
Removing Good and Featured Topics in Wikipedia If you feel a topic on Wikipedia:Featured topics or a topic on Wikipedia:Good topics should no longer be there, then this is the place to nominate it for demotion. Only topics that do not adhere to the good or featured topic criteria should be listed. Objections raised must be actionable. Do not nominate topics that have recently been promoted (such complaints should have been brought up during the candidacy period on Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates), or topics that have recently survived a removal attempt—such nominations are likely to be removed summarily. Once a topic has been nominated on this page for ten days, the discussion will be assessed for consensus by one of the FGTC coordinators, who will close the discussion. If there is consensus to remove, it will be removed from the list of featured topic, and added to the list of former featured topics. All discussions will be logged at Wikipedia:Featured topic removal candidates/archive. The removal instructions are located here. |

Nomination procedure
Supporting and objectingeditPlease read all the articles of the nominated topic fully before deciding to support or oppose a nomination.
Consensus must be reached for a topic to be removed from featured status. If enough time passes without objections being resolved, nominations will be removed from the candidates list and archived. As a general guide, new topics will remain on here for at least 10 days to allow for comment, and must have at least 4 remove votes (although consensus and lack of major objections are also important) for removal. |
Topics nominated for removal
editSimpson family
editNo longer meets criteria 3b due to the delisting of Maggie Simpson as a good article in July, and has only had content added once to reflect a very recent episode.
While not an immediate issue right now, Bart Simpson has been given a featured article review note; the article is currently vulnerable to eventual demotion, and the topic's WikiProject has fallen inactive, making it unlikely to be edited much before it is up for FAR.

- Remove per nominator. Armbrust The Homunculus 09:43, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Bart is now up for FAR, and nobody other than me has edited the article since I created this discussion. The FAR mentions the article being outdated and issues with sources, making it likely to be the second article of this topic to be demoted. Xeroctic (talk) 18:33, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Update: The article will likely be saved at FAR, but Maggie Simpson is the only reason why this FTRC should be removed. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 02:33, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Fails criterion 3.b as San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 is not a WP:GA, isn't being worked on, and is past the three month grace period (the Eurovision Song Contest ended on 11 May). Armbrust The Homunculus 09:58, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
Remove – Idiosincrático (talk) 11:09, 11 October 2024 (UTC)- Wait – Pending 2024 GAN. Idiosincrático (talk) 04:00, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. I admit that I missed the 3-month grace period, but as the edit history shows, it would be untrue to say that I'm not working on it. It's certainly clear that I'm focused on getting this next one nominated, considering the edits I've made in the last 2 weeks. Probably only a few days out in fact. Honestly, the 6+ month wait for GA reviews has really slowed any sense of urgency, and I had held off to not overwhelm the GA process and add to its crazy backlog.

- You made 5 edits to that page in the last 5 months. I wouldn't call that "working on it". Armbrust The Homunculus 20:23, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- The edits were on the last 3 consecutive Saturdays, the only day I have time to do more than just housekeeping edits. Anyway, it's nominated now, so I finished it on a Friday, one day earlier than I anticipated. Thanks for the push! Grk1011 (talk) 20:39, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
