A featured article should exemplify the goals of Bulbapedia - an accurate, comprehensive and Pokémon-focused encyclopedia. Featured articles should be picked from the very best work on Bulbapedia, although this is not the same as picking from the most detailed or the most accurate.

Procedures

Nominating

1. Check it against the featured article criteria. Pages that fail to meet the basic criteria will not be accepted as candidates.
2. Add a {{FAC}} invocation to the candidates section, for instance, {{FAC||Bulbapedia}}, or if the article in question is not in the main namespace, {{FAC|Bulbapedia|About}}.
3. Create the associated talk page by entering {{subst:FAC talk}} and saving the page.
4. Add {{FAC notice}} to the top of the candidate article.

Voting

To vote, simply edit the appropriate sections. Add your signature (~~~~), preferably with a comment, to the list of supporters / objectors. Remember to update the count in the heading.

Pokémon world Support (8) I think this is a great article that shows a lot of research and good prose, which is sadly rare around here. It's arranged very good, has plenty of images to illustrate the concepts (but not too many), and I think it's ready to be featured. It would be nice if someone could grab an HGSS shot of the Burned Tower, though, similar to the Gen II one we have. --electAbuzzzz 14:28, 19 December 2009 (UTC) Support. This wasn't already featured?! One of the best articles around! Very detailed and descriptive. CuboneKing (Planet Cubone • Bone Club) This needs to be one, it's very accurate and detailed.--Midnight Blue 23:04, 20 December 2009 (UTC) Support.One of the best articles. Why wasn't this nominated earlier?--GreenGyaradosHappy Holidays! 04:15, 21 December 2009 (UTC) Support! It is a great article and one of the best. --Smartkidhen 15:13, 21 December 2009 (UTC) Suport.Tis is one of the best articles on Bulbapedia, and i'm sure it needs to be featured.--WikiTomas 14:43, 22 December 2009 (UTC) Support This article blew me away the first time I read it. I definitely support it as it is a good representation of the articles on Bulbapedia. --AdrienC 01:13, 24 December 2009 (UTC) Support I just looked through it and it does seem like it is a great article. It's articles like this that makes me wonder what nerd has time to do something this good. --Pokemon1234567890 21:48, 24 December 2009 (UTC) Object (0) Other comments I'll agree it's a good article, but some seems to be speculation such as Japan in comparison to the regions of the Pokémon world. ht14 23:26, 20 December 2009 (UTC) You're right, maybe to limit the amount that could be cut down and have a {{Main}} link. CuboneKing (Planet Cubone • Bone Club) 23:30, 20 December 2009 (UTC) The length's not the issue (well, somewhat). I'm talking about speculation. ht14 23:36, 20 December 2009 (UTC) I met limit the amount of speculation. CuboneKing (Planet Cubone • Bone Club) 04:14, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Aim to Be a Pokémon Master Support (5) OK, this was rejected a couple of months ago mainly due to poor image quality. We fixed that and some other issues. I now think this is ready for FA. It's definitely the best song article we have. --electAbuzzzz 12:29, 23 December 2009 (UTC) I think this article is good enough to be a Featured Article now that the picture has been replaced. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 13:52, 24 December 2009 (UTC) This is so good, that I find it hard to believe that it's a song article. Support. CuboneKing (Planet Cubone • Bone Club) 21:52, 24 December 2009 (UTC) Support!Definitly the best song article there is. It goes really in-depth.--Smartkidhen 21:00, 25 December 2009 (UTC) Okay, I thought it over, and I think it is worthy. Turtwig A I do know that this isn't an election. - Pokemon1234567890 Object (0) Other comments I'm not sure I want a song article to be featured, but I did read threw it, and it was well written. Though it just seems to be a lot of trivia though. I think the other featured article candidate is more worthy than this. Pokemon1234567890 You do realize this isn't an election and that you can support both, right? Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 18:36, 29 December 2009 (UTC) What's wrong with song articles, hmmm??? We can have any article that meets the standards as a FA. Even song articles, not that they are any different somehow. I don't think discriminating articles because of their topic is what being A FAC is all about. But think it over.--Smartkidhen 19:14, 29 December 2009 (UTC) See my support comment. And I'm not discriminating. - Pokemon1234567890
