Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates

Removing featured lists in Wikipedia

This page is for the review and improvement of featured lists that may no longer meet the featured list criteria. FLs should be kept at current standards, regardless of when they were promoted. Any objections raised in the review must be actionable.

The FLC director, Giants2008, or his delegates, PresN and Hey man im josh, determine the exact timing of the process for each nomination. Nominations will last at least 14 days, and longer where changes are ongoing and it seems useful to continue the process. For a nomination to be kept, consensus must be reached that it still meets the criteria. Consensus is built among reviewers and nominators; the delegates determine whether there is consensus. A nomination will be removed from the list, archived and added to Former featured lists if, in the judgment of the director who considers a nomination and its reviews:

actionable objections have not been resolved; or
consensus to delist has been reached; or
insufficient information has been provided by reviewers to judge whether the criteria have been met.

Nominations may be closed earlier than the allotted two weeks if, in the judgment of the FLRC delegate, the list in the nomination:

has a clear consensus to merge or redirect to another article or list. This consensus may be shown in Articles for deletion, a discussion on the article's talk page, a discussion on the relevant WikiProject(s), or other community venues that present a tangible consensus to merge or redirect the article; or
contains a clear copyright violation and removal of the copyrighted material would severely degrade the quality of the list.

Do not nominate lists that have recently been promoted (such complaints should have been brought up during the candidacy period as featured list candidates) or lists that have recently survived a removal attempt – such nominations are likely to be removed summarily.

A bot will update the list talk page after the list has been kept or the nomination has been archived; the delay in bot processing can range from minutes to several days, and the {{FLRC}} template should remain on the talk page until the bot updates {{ArticleHistory}}. If a nomination is delisted, editors should take adequate time to work on resolving issues before re-nominating at Featured list candidates.

Below the preloaded title, write your reason for nominating the list, sign with ~~~~ and save the page. Please note which of the featured list criteria that the list fails to meet.
Place {{Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/name of nominated article/archiveNumber}} at the top of the list of nominees on this page by first copying the above, clicking "edit" on the top of the page, and then pasting, making sure to add the name of the nominated article.
Notify relevant parties by adding {{subst:FLRCMessage|ArticleName|archive=# of archive page}} (for example, {{subst:FLRCMessage|List of Presidents of the United States|archive=1}}) to relevant talk pages (insert article name). Relevant parties include main contributors to the article (identifiable through article stats script), the editor who originally nominated the article for Featured List status (identifiable through the Featured List Candidate link in the Article Milestones), and any relevant WikiProjects (identifiable through the talk page banners, but there may be other Projects that should be notified). Leave a message at the top of the FLRC indicating whom you have notified and that notifications have been completed.

In the recent discussions at Wikipedia talk:Featured lists/Archive_2#FLs for television seasons and Wikipedia talk:Featured list candidates#What to do with season lists, there seems to be some agreements that TV seasons should go through GAN/FAC instead of FLC. Following the latter discussion's suggestion, I'm going to do a bulk nomination to remove certain season articles from FL status. This nomination covers Avatar: The Last Airbender seasons 1, 2 (FLRC link) and 3 (FLRC link). The FLRC nomination for all three lists will be contained here. Besides the shift away from FLC, there also seems to be some general concerns on the sourcing. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 09:20, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delist all for procedural reasons. In addition, the prose could use some work; the production sections are mainly just lists of cast and crew members (the latter of which is already addressed in the episode listing), and the reception sections seemed skewed towards the quality of the DVD releases instead of the actual episodes and their content. Both should be addressed before attempting GA/FA for these articles. RunningTiger123 (talk) 01:41, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinator note: all FLRC discussion for Code Geass seasons 1 and 2 should take place at the season 1 FLRC nomination. --Pres N 18:07, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Code Geass season 1

Notified: DragonZero, WikiProject Anime and manga, WikiProject Television

Hello, I'm nominating this article per recent consensus on WT:MOSTV that articles of this nature should pursue a GAN or FAC. As a side note, the second season is also an FL and I plan to nominate it for similar purposes later on. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 09:27, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As per Wikipedia talk:Featured list candidates#What to do with season lists, y'all can nominate entire seasons at once now, so please go ahead and nominate season 2 and just put a note that we're discussing them both here. --Pres N 14:37, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, I just did. As this also covers the second season (FLRC link), the FLRC nominations for both will now be contained here. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:57, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delist both for procedural reasons, but aside from that, the sourcing is weak in places (too reliant on primary sources) and key sections such as production and reception should be added in some form before GA/FA consideration. RunningTiger123 (talk) 01:34, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Game of Thrones season 1

Per recent consensus that articles of this nature should pursue GA/FA instead. Bgsu98 (Talk) 13:57, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support, can all of these be delisted already? Easternsahara (talk) 13:38, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think the plan is to still hold FLRCs so that (a) the bot can properly record all demotions and (b) nobody can say "well, I didn't know about the WT:FLC local consensus and I disagree with demotion". RunningTiger123 (talk) 01:36, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support delisting per the recent project consensus. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 09:45, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delist – could probably pass a GAN but as stated, this is too prose-focused to be a list. RunningTiger123 (talk) 01:31, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of tallest buildings in Tampa

Notified: Raime, Hydrogen Iodide, SportsNerd3000, Chiefmiz, Alaskan assassin, WikiProject Tampa Bay, WikiProject Florida, WikiProject Skyscrapers

This list contains many unsourced entries and it is likely out of date and not comprehensive. Cyrobyte (talk) 23:40, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is often utilized by skyscrapercity.com’s Tampa Forum. The article is quite useful and informative. Chiefmiz (talk) 23:53, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The FLRC template is missing from the List’s talk page. Zsinj^Talk 01:47, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Remove I would support a removal from featured list status for now. The lead and history sections can definitely be more detailed, while there are quite a few buildings on the main list that lack citations. There are too many red links as well. Citations are largely missing from the under construction and proposed section. LivinAWestLife (talk) 08:32, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Image sizes in the tables are also oddly inconsistent. LivinAWestLife (talk) 08:35, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support delisting. Whole sections toward the end of the article are totally unsourced. Bgsu98 (Talk) 01:39, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. In addition to the reasons quoted above, there is also very old tautological writing "This list ranks...". Notes should be in "notes" section, not written in the paragraph at the start of the table section. The article is many years out of date, and lacks proper sourcing. The writing also needs a copyedit. Mattximus (talk) 13:05, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
