| − | **It's not like there's a limited amount of space for featured articles. If you don't think the article is complete enough to warrant being featured, that's one thing. But if you're opposing just because you think too many featured articles are episodes, I'm sorry, but I don't think that's a good enough reason to oppose. --[[User:T smitts|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T smitts</span>]] 05:39, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC) |

| − | *'''Comment''' - Maybe just having an episode summary that's 347 KB long shouldn't be among the reasons for featured, but actual community team work and great content. Maybe give a little while before more episodes. - [[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] 18:15, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC) |

||
| − | ***And you can't just arbitrarily decide that one persons vote is invalid either. The fact of the matter is, is that we just recently had a half-dozen plus of these episode articles featured in the past couples weeks and it has been the feeling of myself and several others that there have been far too many "easy" featured articles slipping through lately, which really defeats the purpose of having featured articles in the first place. As AJ clearly stated above, give it some time before we start inundating the community again with episode summaries for featured articles and focus more time and effort into ''researching'' into the other 75% of the main characters whose pages are not yet complete or the numerous other people, items or events that could be explored. --[[User:Gvsualan|Alan del Beccio]] 06:59, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC) |

| − | ****Yeah... That's not cool. If the reason is invalid, the admins will do something like that one (I forgot which character it was) where someone said they opposed it because the episode sucked. But I agree about the episode summaries, although I can see Coke's point about raising the bar ex post facto. All I can say is that it's a subjective process so try to adapt rather than going against the grain. --[[User:Schrei|Schrei]] 18:30, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC) |

| − | I think this article has come a long way with a lot of work from different users. It's a good character, and a chance for at least one aspect of the [[Ferengi]] to be represented in the FA lists. I was the anon. user who originally added the structure to the article and since then a lot more has been done. Most major events are there, including his participation in several key events of the [[Dominion War]], notably the [[The Siege of AR-558]]. All in all, I think it deserves consideration.

It would almost be like doing Will Riker's article without mentioning his relationship with Deanna Troi.

Latest revision as of 15:18, 20 March 2024
This page is for the nomination and discussion of articles that may be potentially included in Memory Alpha's list of featured articles. A featured article is an especially well-written, informative, and comprehensive article that covers all available information on a subject. If you feel one of our articles meets this criteria, you may suggest it here in accordance with the nomination policy. For a list of articles previously nominated, see the archive.
To bring up a current featured article for review, please see the review procedure.
To nominate an article, start a new discussion under "Nominations without objections" with a heading named for the article you want to suggest. Provide an appropriate picture and a two- to three-paragraph summary of the article. This is usually the article's lead-in if possible, and should not contain any links, except to the article itself. This is what will be displayed on the main page and in the portals if the nomination is successful. Followed that by a brief reason why you feel the article should be featured.
Sample format:
=== <article> === [[File:<image>|thumb|<caption>]] '''[[<article>]]''' <summary> ---- <reasoning> - <signature>
Once this is done, a notice that the article has been nominated as a featured article candidate should be added to the article in question by inserting {{fan}} at the top of the page, above any other templates except the article type template.
When you are commenting on a nomination, please take the time to read the entire article before you decide whether to Support or Oppose the nomination. Nominations with objections should be moved to the appropriate section until they are resolved.
When supporting or opposing an article, please use a bullet point (by adding a * before your comment) without any indent so these will be easy to find later. General comments should be indented as usual, and, as always, please sign your nominations and comments with "~~~~".
Nominations without objections
Nick Locarno in 2381
Nicholas "Nick" Locarno was a male Human who lived during the late-24th century. Following his expulsion from Starfleet Academy for getting a fellow cadet killed in a botched Kolvoord Starburst, he eventually moved to New Axton where he began operating as a civilian pilot for hire.
Over the next decade, his resentment towards Starfleet festered so much that he conspired to found an independent space exploration organization called Nova Fleet, consisting of starships stolen with the aid of lower deckers he talked into mutinying against their captains.
However, when he attempted to recruit Beckett Mariner, she refused to cooperate and fled with a Genesis Device he had planned to use as a deterrent. His erratic behavior as a result of her actions ended up alienating his followers and ultimately resulted in his death when he was caught in the device's detonation. (TNG: "The First Duty"; LD: "The Inner Fight", "Old Friends, New Planets")
