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

Place {{FTRCmain|ExampleTopicName|X}} or {{GTRCmain|ExampleTopicName|X}} (as appropriate) on the talk page of the main article of the topic, where X is the desired archive number.
From there, click on the "add a comment" link.
Add ===ExampleTopicName=== and the topic's box copied from Wikipedia:Featured topics/ExampleTopicName.
Below it, write your reason for nominating the topic. Note which of the featured topic criteria that the topic fails to meet.
Place {{Wikipedia:Featured topic removal candidates/ExampleTopicName/archiveX}} (again, where X is the desired archive number) 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.

Supporting and objecting

Please read all the articles of the nominated topic fully before deciding to support or oppose a nomination.

To edit nominations in order to comment on them, you must click the "edit" link to the right of the article nomination on which you wish to comment (not the overall page's "edit this page" link).
If you approve of a nomination to remove, write '''Delist''' followed by your reasons.
If you oppose of a nomination to remove, write '''Keep''' followed by the reason for your objection. Each objection must provide a justification why the topic does not violate the listed criteria.
If you want to delay the nomination while another nomination takes place, such as adding new items to the topic or nominating member articles for Good Article status, write '''HOLD''' with a link to the relevant nomination and this nomination will not be closed until after the other one.
To withdraw a support or objection, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.

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.

San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest

San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest

16 articles

With the conclusion of the 2025 edition, San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 should be added to the topic, and needs to be updated to GA status. Currently there is no active ongoing effort to improve the article and the retention period expired August 17, 2025. Z1720 (talk) 20:47, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I know Grk1011, who has been the driving force behind getting these articles to GA status, is very keen to improve the outstanding article, and it's not always easy to get the time to contribute to Wikipedia. While the retention period has expired, I don't believe it's accurate to say that there is no effort to improve the article, since Grk1011 has added to the article within the last month (see article history), and given there is a considerable GA backlog anyway I think it's only fair to give him a bit of leeway to get this article over the line in the next couple of weeks.

- Thanks Sims2aholic8: I've certainly put forth an ongoing effort to get it ready for GA, but I also understand that perhaps different editors have different meanings for "ongoing". I only have time to do substantive edits every few weeks. Grk1011 (talk) 13:14, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  Coordinator comment: @Grk1011, we're certainly not against holding nominations so folks have time to improve articles. Could you commit to a GA nomination sometime in October? Aza24 (talk) 22:33, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
