Un-Reality TV (March 12th, 2020 - March 26th, 2020)

I'd like to put up one of the anime episode pages I built for featurement, and thought this would be a good one to start on. It's got plenty of detail, and also talks about an episode with a lot of fun references crammed into it. Should be good front page material. --Fubaka (talk) 00:41, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

1. I don't think we've had any FAs from the anime yet, and this well-written and detailed article is definitely a good one to start with. --YFJ (talk · edits) 00:50, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Kirby's Block Ball (February 19th, 2020 - March 3rd, 2020)

Since we still can't do My Friend and the Sunset yet, let's put another good game article up on the front page. It meets all the basic requirements, and goes into good detail regarding the stages, sub-games, and block and item types. --Fubaka (talk) 06:58, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Taranza (January 29, 2020 - February 19th, 2020)

1. Forgot to vote earlier, but this article is clean, complete, and concise. As it meets all the FA requirements, I see no reason not to give Taranza some time on the main page. --YFJ (talk · edits) 23:38, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Bandana Waddle Dee (January 15th, 2020 - January 29th, 2020)

1. Nice work improving that page. I definitely support a feature. --Fubaka (talk) 19:51, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
2. What can I say? I love the little guy! But it's not just character bias, the page has tons of stuff many Kirby scholars (and people who just need info) will seek. --Cowguy™ [talk · contribs] 00:15, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Adeleine (December 25th, 2019 - January 9th, 2020)

The Ultimate Choice (November 27th, 2019 - December 11th, 2019)

This insanely detailed article covers the most challenging game mode in Kirby Star Allies, and I think it is about time we feature it. --Fubaka (talk) 04:45, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Support

1. Yeah! Being someone who never played Star Allies, it definitely was good at explaining what the game mode is. --Cowguy™ [talk · contribs] 15:55, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
2. Meets every requirement for featurement and surpasses some of them to a crazy extent. I'd be hard-pressed to find a reason against it. --YFJ (talk · edits) 03:55, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
3. Agree with all these points listed. – Owencrazyboy17 (talk) 04:01, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Kirby's Dream Land (November 14th, 2019 - November 27th, 2019)

Kirby's genesis is undoubtedly one of the most well-known Kirby games out there, and this article covers every important aspect of the game that introduced our beloved white pink puffball. As this article meets all the requirements, I feel it's time that Kirby's very first adventure gets a place on our main page. --YFJ (talk · edits) 21:24, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Support

1. There's nothing significant missing from the article, and it has good formatting, so I really don't see why it shouldn't be featured. --Fubaka (talk) 21:53, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
2. Impressive image quality and formatting. Scrooge200 (talk) 23:32, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
3. I couldn't agree more! Kirby's humble beginnings definitely deserves to be on the front page at some point. Per all. – Owencrazyboy17 (talk) 23:37, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
4. I agree! It's always important to take a look at firsts. osbuns (talk) 04:10, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Meta Knight (November 6th, 2019 - November 15th, 2019)

We already have Kirby and King Dedede featured, so let's go on to number 3! Meta Knight's got a good, lengthy article that meets all the requirements, so I think it's time we dub him a Featured Knight. --YFJ (talk · edits) 14:38, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

1. Agree with all points listed. Not much else to say. – Owencrazyboy17 (talk) 15:37, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Artist (October 22nd, 2019 - November 6th, 2019)

I know there are probably other articles more "deserving" of being featured, but this article meets all the requirements, and I want to mix things up a little. --Fubaka (talk) 12:58, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Support

1. Yes, this would make a nice front page article, considering while the artist might not be the most unique ability in all of Kirby, it has some cool moves, and would make a nice, short read. --Cowguy™ [talk · contribs] 18:27, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
2. Meets all the necessary requirements, and it's a nice mix-up for our current lineup. --YFJ (talk · edits) 14:38, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

King Dedede (October 17th, 2019 - October 24th, 2019)

Time for the big penguin man to be featured on the front page. Any objections? --Fubaka (talk) 04:00, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Support

1. Not really a fan of how the game appearances section is set up in regards to linking the games. They go back and forth on using "Main article:" or just simply linking to the game in the paragraph, or just no link at all. That looks much better :) The article is very well put together and has plenty of well-written content. Alex95 (talk) 04:08, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
2. Very good, not ridiculously long, makes sense! Pinkyoshifan (talk) 11:24, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
3. I agree, the article covers all his major appearances without being too long and is generally very well written. --Cowguy™ [talk · contribs] 02:37, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
4. An article worthy of the king himself. --YFJ (talk · edits) 14:22, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (October 3rd, 2019 - October 17th, 2019)

Does the policy change to two weeks affect this, which was made beforehand? Pinkyoshifan (talk) 22:31, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Yes it does. --Fubaka (talk) 23:34, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Kirby Super Star (August 9th, 2019 - September 23rd, 2019)

Much like the Template:KSSU page, this article has received a lot of work, and is now worthy of being featured on the main page. What say you all? --Fubaka (talk) 17:52, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

1. And like the Ultra page, the charts are great. I think this one is worthy of being featured. Pinkyoshifan (talk) 21:30, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
2. The page is well made, and has practically all the information on the game needed. My only complaint is that it doesn't have all the boxarts for the game, but that's not really a big enough problem. Obsessive Mario Fan File:Mario Statue KSS sprite.png 03:31, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Waddle Dee (June, 6th, 2019 - August 5th, 2019)

Would the "It has been suggested that this page or section be split into" box at the top count as an improvement tag? Pinkyoshifan (talk) 12:12, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Looking at the page history, that tag seems to have been put there just last night. There were no improvement tags when this nomination was put up, and none when I made my vote. Guess I'll go over to the talk page and see what I can do. -YFJ (talk · edits) 17:23, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

I agree with Pinkyoshifan that it depends if this article is split or not - Waddledee10 Special:Contributions/Waddledee10
Two of the requested splits were done and the last was declined. With the split tag gone now, I believe that this article is all set to be featured. -YFJ (talk · edits) 20:51, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Kirby Super Star Ultra (March 12th, 2019 - May 24th, 2019)

Kirby's Dream Land 3 (February 7th, 2019 - April 2nd, 2019)

Finally finished my long-standing project to improve this article! When I first saw it a few months back, it was already pretty well-written, but it lacked some necessary sections and images. But I've fixed those problems since then, and now I'm happy to say it looks more than deserving of featured status. -YFJ (talk · edits) 22:09, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

1. The article is indeed extensive and well-written. I especially like how each of the playable characters has their own section and quote, which I wish more Kirby games would allow for. --Fubaka (talk) 23:54, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

It’s really a shame that this nomination has existed for nine months, and still I am the first voter. With only two active users on this wiki (those being the nominator and myself), this nomination will never pass nor fail. Can’t we change the rules in some way?

Kirby's Dream Land 2 (3 October 2010 - 2 February 2011)

The box-art image looks very dark. Sounds a bit minor, but it wouldn't make our wiki look good if we had a dark picture on the main page. Also, some sprites look cut-off. Aphelocomaマリオ File:BirdonSuperstarUltra.gif 23:32, 4 October 2010 (CDT)

The box-art is the same that's used by Wikipedia atm. If anyone can find a better version though, feel free to upload it. Also, I'd like to know what sprites those would be. Apart from Whispy Woods, who has to be "cut off" because not all of him is seen in the game, I ripped all the sprites in their entirety.--Vellidragon 08:41, 5 October 2010 (CDT)
