It very well describes its appearances in games. [[User:Turtwig A|Turt]][[Magic|wig]] [[Wheel|A]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 20:25, 5 September 2010 (CDT)

#It's a good article, but sadly incomplete; quite a bunch of game appearances are missing from the article, there is no section on the anime, and it could use more pictures as well to better illustrate individual appearances & types - Spear Waddle Dees for instance are mentioned, but there is no picture of them. Besides that, it is currently missing an infobox. Looking at these things, I don't think it should be featured at the moment, though I'd be willing to support once it covers the subject in greater detail; as Waddle Dees are highly characteristic enemies of the ''Kirby'' series, they deserve a more extensive coverage in my opinion.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 10:26, 6 September 2010 (CDT)

:I'm almost ready to vote for it, I can see a few expansions to make for it. I'd like to see a section on the variants since they have different names at the end of CC at least. (Spear Waddle Dee, Fluff, Parasol, etc) (images would rock) I realize there isn't much to say about them, but it still serves to cover all of the info on them. Otherwise, I'm going to try transparenting all of the page's images, and I'll be ready to call it a winner. This would be a great article to have featured, kudos to all who have worked on it! {{User:Axiomist/sig}} 22:10, 5 September 2010 (CDT)

A long and exhaustive ''Kirby'' game article covering all the major gameplay elements, information is split up into sections and organised into tables where it makes sense, images are used to illustrate the subject, sources are cited where necessary and possible.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 15:15, 3 October 2010 (CDT)

Featured Article Nomination
What a Featured Article is:
  1. An article marked as "Good".
  2. An article with an official (non-conjectural) name (more details on the naming policy page).
  3. An article with an opening abstract of sufficient length, preferably consisting of at least two paragraphs.
  4. An article with proper documentation. (no substantial info is missing)
  5. Sound of format. (no improvement notice templates are present)
  6. Sufficient overall length. (at least 5000 bytes long)
  7. Not a list page, disambiguation page, or subpage.
  8. Properly categorized.
  9. Not an orphaned page. (at least one article links to it)
Voting Regulations
  1. Voting is currently open to all registered users.
  2. All votes must be signed with signatures (type four tildes (~~~~.)) Unsigned votes are automatically negated, regardless of any points made.
  3. An article will become automatically featured if it receives five (5) valid votes to support it and two (2) days have passed since the nomination.
  4. After two (2) weeks of being nominated, an article will be featured if it does not have more opposition than support. (this means a tie or zero votes will still result in a feature)
  5. An article will fail to become featured if it receives five (5) valid oppositions.
  6. There may be no more than six (6) nominated articles at one time. Do not add any more than this.
  7. The editor who puts the article up for nomination may not vote on it.
  8. Please add all oppositions/supports on a new line beginning with a number/pound/hash sign (#) to automatically create an alphanumeric list.
  9. All votes with comments perceived by the staff as hostile or rude to another user will be removed. Be civil and polite.
  10. Staff members reserve the right to negate any votes without notification of the voter if they are found to be in violation of any of these rules or if suspected of trolling.
Nomination Cooldown
Once an article has attained featured status, a total of thirty (30) days must pass before it can be nominated for unfeaturement.
