===[[Octorok]]===
 
[[File:Octorok-grass.png|right]]
 
Octorok has been a very notable enemy, appearing in every game save Twilight Princess. It's only appropriate that such a notable enemy has a very complete article. While I wouldn't say this article is at its maximum potential, it certainly is far more complete than most of what we have on this Wiki. [[User:Zenox|Zenox]] 18:30, January 8, 2013 (CST)
===[[Zant]]===
[[File:Zant.png|right|120px]]
Zant is one of the pivotal figures within ''Twilight Princess'' and I think this page is great representation of both an amazing villain and boss. This specific article includes a lot of information, including his origins, his role in the story and the boss battle, while containing a vast gallery which is complemented by a range of references. If anything this page could probably do with a couple more references and maybe some more info within the trivia section. However, I think this article is adequate enough to be featured on the main page.[[User:Justac00lguy|Justac00lguy]] 10:35, June 15, 2013 (CDT)

Although, a couple more references couldn't hurt. Other than that, I'm loving this page. {{User:Fused shadows/Sig}} 00:32, August 3, 2013 (CDT)
# Looking through the article it seems to be thoroughly created with lots of important information using well-constructed grammar (important to grammar nazis such as myself...), and a nice amount of trivia with relevant images.

# Okay, seriously, why haven't I voted for this yet? I swear this is the fifth time or something I've come here to do so... Anyway, this is an excellent page. Images are well-placed and abundant, and it isn't lacking in references. From what I've read, it seems to be written well. It appears pretty complete. I see no reason why it shouldn't be featured, especially considering how long we've gone without a new feature.

# This page is very descriptive in its content. Plenty of information that took time to compile. The Main Page could do with a rotation in the featured article and featured image, and this one fits the qualities we're looking for.

# While this page does have a decent amount of info, it is still not up to par with what we can do. The formatting is sloppy, the writing is vague, and it doesn't have a nice wiki-looking-like look. [[User:Fused shadows|Fused shadows]] 20:49, January 24, 2013 (CST)
# Like what Fused said, the page has a good amount of info. However, it falls short from other great pages from bad formatting, its broad way of writing, and not a good layout/look. [[User:Odd300|:) Odd300 :)]] 13:32, January 27, 2013 (CST)
# Unfortunately, I believe that the very reason stated for this article's nomination is its downfall. The Octorok IS a very notable enemy, and it SHOULD have a very complete article -- but this isn't it. Many sections are small and insufficient. The gallery is expansive, but far from complete, with obvious omissions like the DS titles. The page as a whole seems very haphazard and disorganized; the pictures should probably be spread across the article a bit more to make it seem less like a ton of tiny sections of text. It's hard to get a nomination-worthy page for an enemy with so many appearances, and while it can be done, this is far from it.

===[[Lanayru (Light Spirit)]]===
[[File:LanayruBox.png|right|160px]]
Lanayru plays a prominent role in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', serving as one of the four major Light Spirits in the game. There are plenty of references, at least three images, and a sufficient amount of information within this article. This page covers details from Lanayru's entrance, to his departure at the end of the game. I believe that this article deserves to be nominated. [[User:Atticus|Atticus]] 09:55, January 27, 2013 (CST)

# There is also a lack of sections {{User:Tael/Sig}} 09:46, February 26, 2013 (CST)
# Like what Fused and Tael stated, this page has a good amount of information, but the lack of layout/sections makes this page not as good as other pages. This page could be expanded on and is not a page worthy of being nominated. [[User:Odd300|:) Odd300 :)]] 14:48, March 10, 2013 (CDT)
#This page, while written well, just doesn't seem like the type of article that would be featured on the main page. Sure it has a lot of information, but it also has a distinct lack of sections, which cause a great wall of text making it much harder for the visitor to find the information they desire. It could also do with some more images and whatnot. A no from me, for now.[[User:Justac00lguy|Justac00lguy]] ([[User talk:Justac00lguy|talk]]) 16:17, December 26, 2013 (MST)
#I hate to be the conclusive vote here, but... I have to agree with what everyone has said previously. I think this page could be featured in the future -- it's certainly on its way -- but at the moment, it's not ready. Like JC said, it definitely could use some organizing and some nice headers to break it up, and more images would be good. Besides, it still has not been updated with the ability to combine references, which was added a long time ago. Speaking of references, the second half of the page -- meaning the third and fourth paragraph -- are severely lacking in them for some odd reason. Yeah, there's still a lot that could be done here.

[[File:Eldeinn.png|right]]
[[File:LoZ_Quest_2_Dungeon_09_Entrance.png|right|100px]]
 
If I may, I'd like to nominate all of Second Quest dungeon pages from ''The Legend of Zelda'' as a whole. When I found that there was almost no information about these dungeons on the Zelda Dungeon Wiki, I took it upon myself to create them. When I researched other Wikis for information, I again found little to no information about them, which drove me to want to create the best pages that I could. Using the First Quest dungeon pages as a base for formatting, I re-wrote almost all of the information for each Second Quest dungeon page, adding as much information as I could. I played through the game multiple times to collect all of the screenshots, edit them, and also to verify minute details for each dungeon. As a whole, the 9 dungeon pages took a lot of time and effort to create. Along with the fact that this amount of detail for the Second Quest dungeons is hard to find, I strongly believe that this project deserves to be featured, so that many visitors of Zelda Dungeon can be aware that the information is here to be used.[[User:Stimpy789|Stimpy789]] ([[User talk:Stimpy789|talk]]) 23:06, October 20, 2013 (MDT)
The Elde Inn plays such a small role in ''Twilight Princess'', and most don't even know it exists. This page is jam-packed with info, references, trivia, and an all around great look. A couple of images of the interior would really put it over the top, but it's still great without those images. This page deserves a nomination.

# I think this is a great article and like you said there is a lot of information, trivia, references all for such a small location. Also you said it could do with some pics of the interior and I managed to get some. So I think this is page is pretty much complete, great job btw! [[User:Justac00lguy|Justac00lguy]] 22:12, March 10, 2013 (GMT)
# I couldn't agree more. Those pages are great, with excellent content and images. It doesn't matter which one of those is featured, as long as one is. {{User:Fused shadows/Sig}} 16:53, October 21, 2013 (MDT)
# This is a wonderful page with a lot of information for a minor location. Containing trivia, references, and images, this is a great standard for pages on the Wiki. [[User:Odd300|:) Odd300 :)]] 18:07, April 29, 2013 (CDT)

# I'm going to have to say no. We can't just feature an entire group of pages at once. It takes away from any one page and each page should be getting featured on its own merit. As good as the pages might be as a whole, they need to be voted in individually, and that might not go well then because they'd just be one of many in that case. I wouldn't be opposed to a new system to highlight groups of pages for their worth (which would be something interesting that other wikis don't offer), but that wouldn't work here for featured, individual, articles. The way the system is set up just wouldn't allow it. — {{User:Emma/Sig}} 12:46, May 3, 2014 (MDT)

This page is probably one of the better ones we have regarding a Zelda Race. It has full sections regarding the Oocca's origin, physical characteristics, and in-game relevance. It is also packed with images and references, and has a nice trivia section. It is the peak of a page for Races, and I think it'd be great to have it as a featured article. {{User:Fused shadows/Sig}} 12:11, January 3, 2014 (MST)

I think this page is definitely worthy of being featured.

It'd also be great to feature the page of one of the main characters from the latest Zelda game.

Ganon has an extensive and rather detailed page that has yet to be featured. Providing information from every game he appears or is even referenced in, the page doesn't leave any room for a lack of information. The page is one of the longer pages on the wiki, but that just means it has more details. It has graphics to accompany each appearance, and provides many trivial facts. The page definitely deserves at least the acknowledgment of being nominated. [[User:TheDoctor8910|TheDoctor8910]] ([[User talk:TheDoctor8910|talk]]) 02:00, October 20, 2018 (UTC)

Revision as of 19:11, July 7, 2019

Process

An article is nominated here, and the nominator describes why the article is worthy of featuring in short intro which they then sign with their signature. The article should be linked to in the section header. Followed by subsections Support and Oppose. Each section will have a numbered list of people stating briefly why they support or oppose the article. Support and opposition votes count towards a running total, with support votes adding to the total and opposition votes subtracting from it. The initial nomination does not count towards the total. When the article is at positive or negative five points for at least a week, the voting is considered finalized. Anyone can retract their opposition votes if they believe that their concerns about the article have been met.

Rules

  • Personal like or dislike of the subject is not valid grounds for approving or disapproving of an article's nomination.
  • Each person gets vote once for or against each nomination.
  • Sign each vote with your signature using ~~~~ and place it at the end of your vote on the same line, failing to do so breaks automatic numbering.
  • Using multiple accounts to vote warrants an immediate three month ban on the main account and permanent ban on the alternates.
