=='''[[King Dedede's Theme]]''' (October 5th, 2021 - October 19th, 2021)==
''None at this time. Feel free to make one.''
This article was abandoned for quite a bit, but now it's looking pretty good, and the theme itself definitely deserves the spotlight. Having another music page featured would also be nice. I believe all appropriate themes and information has been added, though if anyone wants to add more musical details, feel free.

#Well, I think that there isn't a reason to not Feature this, isn't it? Evading the lacking of [[The Masked King]] and [[The King and the Sun]], which will be covered on their articles, the only thing that may be missed is the [[Fitness Fiend]] version, ''which is impossible to obtain'' so it doesn't matter for now, and ''maybe'' the fact that it doesn't include a "Composition" section [[Another Dimension (theme)|like]] [[Bouncing Boss Battle|other]] [[Taranza, the Master of Puppetry|several]] [[Techno Factory|themes]], although the composition is discussed at the beginning of the page. So yeah, there isn't basically anything to upgrade on this article.<br> In any case, reasons to support this are:
::*It have files for every version, as far as I know (evading the three exceptions mentioned earlier, which each one have a excuse).
::*It covers textually every appearance of it (supposing that we are not missing any very obscure appearance).
::*It has a good description, mentioning the Mt. Dedede and Tower of Mid-Bosses, and stating who is the Composer.
::So to me is perfect. Though still I don't understand how this outsold [[Green Greens (theme)|Green Greens]]. -[[User:Kirbeat|Kirbeat]] ([[User talk:Kirbeat|talk]]) 03:41, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
#What he said. :P It is a very popular and well-used theme, and certainly deserves a feature. {{User:Kirb/sig}} 22:04, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
#It's a good theme, and the page is Good too. As for the red links, they should be made, but having them be blue shouldn't be a feature requirement. {{User:Pinkyoshifan/sig}} 22:08, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
{{Oppose}}
{{Neutral}}
I don't want to oppose specifically, since the page is very good, but I was checking it, and I have the following remarks before I would consider it for featurement:
*The History of Dedede clip in the page needs to specifically have the section that uses Dedede's theme, right now the section mostly has other themes
*Mentions of "The Masked King" need to be removed; if a page isn't created yet, perhaps move it to a sandbox for now (the initial mention in the KSSU section is fine, I would just not mention it in other games after, and leave that for the page's theme)
 
It would also be worth having many people verify if we didn't miss any use of Dedede's theme, as it's one of the most iconic Kirby themes and maybe we missed it somewhere. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 01:10, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 
So, recently I saw a very updated Youtube video that list every Dedede theme, and so I compared with this page to see if some audio file was missing, and there are some minor things:
*The file of first battle against the King in Blowout Blast isn't here, but it is replaced with Dedede Revenge's so it isn't so critical.
*The amiibo one from Blowout Blast have a different drum sound at the beginning than the DDD's DDD version, so they ''do'' are different, but by an ultra small margin.
Outside that video, I noted some other small things:
*The audio of the version that appears in [[Fitness Fiend]] isn't here.
*The ''For Those Who are Brave'' (or however that theme is translated) version isn't acknowledged on the Star Allies section, but that can easily be fixed.
*''The Masked King'' and ''The King and the Sun'' versions don't have their pages yet.
This last thing is what is holding me back the most, as I would consider those pages extensions of this one. So thanks the fact that they doesn't exist yet, and thus that those themes aren't covered (and that their files are missing) a part of me fells like this article is incomplete. At the end, ''those are still different articles'', the fact that they don't exist aren't flaws of the Dedede's Theme article per sé, but I think that for an article to be Nominated, it has to be "Perfect", and the lack of The Masked King and The King and the Sun don't play well in favor of that.</br>
In conclusion, this page is very well done and have a whole lot of info and files. I would support this, but I think that having the pages for the other two derivated themes first, and maybe touching up the other details, would make this page even more ideal. -[[User:Kirbeat|Kirbeat]] ([[User talk:Kirbeat|talk]]) 02:09, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 
:First off, regarding to what Gigi has said, I can easily grab the appropriate section of History of Dedede, and I have now removed info regarding "The Masked King". Also, as said on the Discord, I checked several reliable videos of all the themes and collected the ones listed, though I suppose it wouldn't hurt for others to double check.
 
:Regarding to what Kirbeat has said, I originally didn't see fit to add the first version of the Blowout Blast remix, but I can do so for good measure, as well as the amiibo theme.<br>I did search for the anime remix, but I'm fairly sure it was never officially released, so there's not really any way to collect a clean version, and yeah, the Star Allies section can easily have that information added to it.<br>Lastly, there's nothing in our policy that states that other similar pages need to be complete/created for one to be featured (check [[WiKirby:Featured content policy|this policy page]] for more information on featured content). Originally, sub-pages of articles (which "The Masked King" and "The King and the Sun" aren't; they're their own thing) needed to be "Good" for the main article to be featured. However, this was recently changed. You can read up about that [[WiKirby:Proposals/Archive|here]] on the "Small adjustments to Good page criteria (March 15th, 2021 - March 29th, 2021)" section.
 
:Overall I was expecting to have some things pointed out when nominating this, so thanks for the help. -- {{User:MetaDragon/sig}} 02:41, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
