Current Nominations

Kirby and the Dangerous Gourmet Mansion?! (January 9th, 2022 - January 23rd, 2022)

Seeing as the first anime episode is featured, I thought featuring the first novel volume would be appropriate as well, especially since there's more than one volume page on the wiki now. I made myself pretty strict with a lot of the wording in the plot synopsis in this one, so anyone is willing to go and loosen that up if they please, but I honestly think it's fine since all necessary information is in there. There will likely be more volume pages down the line worthy of being featured, but featuring this one at this time feels right, since it's what really pushed this whole project forward, and I think the novels are well-deserving of having more light shed on them.

What do you guys think? -- Jellytost♡ (talk) 20:09, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Support
  1. I think it's a great idea since the novels are so little-known, and the page is great! --kirb 20:19, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
  2. I, for one, am still reading the Kirby novel series, and I think it's awesome! It's fitting to have the first episode and first novel of both Kirby worlds, be featured articles. The novel series is not well-known, and this gives them a chance to be in the spotlight, at least for a while. I largely support this. If you aren't reading the novels, I heavily recommend to read the series. --BlazeBlade (talk) 22:23, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
Oppose
Neutral
