Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates

Removing featured lists in Wikipedia

This page is for the review and improvement of featured lists that may no longer meet the featured list criteria. FLs should be kept at current standards, regardless of when they were promoted. Any objections raised in the review must be actionable.

The FLC director, Giants2008, or his delegates, PresN and Hey man im josh, determine the exact timing of the process for each nomination. Nominations will last at least 14 days, and longer where changes are ongoing and it seems useful to continue the process. For a nomination to be kept, consensus must be reached that it still meets the criteria. Consensus is built among reviewers and nominators; the delegates determine whether there is consensus. A nomination will be removed from the list, archived and added to Former featured lists if, in the judgment of the director who considers a nomination and its reviews:

actionable objections have not been resolved; or
consensus to delist has been reached; or
insufficient information has been provided by reviewers to judge whether the criteria have been met.

Nominations may be closed earlier than the allotted two weeks if, in the judgment of the FLRC delegate, the list in the nomination:

has a clear consensus to merge or redirect to another article or list. This consensus may be shown in Articles for deletion, a discussion on the article's talk page, a discussion on the relevant WikiProject(s), or other community venues that present a tangible consensus to merge or redirect the article; or
contains a clear copyright violation and removal of the copyrighted material would severely degrade the quality of the list.

Do not nominate lists that have recently been promoted (such complaints should have been brought up during the candidacy period as featured list candidates) or lists that have recently survived a removal attempt – such nominations are likely to be removed summarily.

A bot will update the list talk page after the list has been kept or the nomination has been archived; the delay in bot processing can range from minutes to several days, and the {{FLRC}} template should remain on the talk page until the bot updates {{ArticleHistory}}. If a nomination is delisted, editors should take adequate time to work on resolving issues before re-nominating at Featured list candidates.

Nomination procedure

Place {{subst:FLRC}} on the talk page of the nominated list.
From the FLRC template, click on the red "initiate the nomination" link. You will see pre-loaded information; leave that text. If you are unsure how to complete a nomination, please post to the FLRC talk page for assistance.
Below the preloaded title, write your reason for nominating the list, sign with ~~~~ and save the page. Please note which of the featured list criteria that the list fails to meet.
Place {{Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/name of nominated article/archiveNumber}} at the top of the list of nominees on this page by first copying the above, clicking "edit" on the top of the page, and then pasting, making sure to add the name of the nominated article.
Notify relevant parties by adding {{subst:FLRCMessage|ArticleName|archive=# of archive page}} (for example, {{subst:FLRCMessage|List of Presidents of the United States|archive=1}}) to relevant talk pages (insert article name). Relevant parties include main contributors to the article (identifiable through article stats script), the editor who originally nominated the article for Featured List status (identifiable through the Featured List Candidate link in the Article Milestones), and any relevant WikiProjects (identifiable through the talk page banners, but there may be other Projects that should be notified). Leave a message at the top of the FLRC indicating whom you have notified and that notifications have been completed.

Nominations for removal

Game of Thrones season 1

Per recent consensus that articles of this nature should pursue GA/FA instead. Bgsu98 (Talk) 13:57, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of tallest buildings in Tampa

Notified: Raime, Hydrogen Iodide, SportsNerd3000, Chiefmiz, Alaskan assassin, WikiProject Tampa Bay, WikiProject Florida, WikiProject Skyscrapers

This list contains many unsourced entries and it is likely out of date and not comprehensive. Cyrobyte (talk) 23:40, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is often utilized by skyscrapercity.com’s Tampa Forum. The article is quite useful and informative. Chiefmiz (talk) 23:53, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The FLRC template is missing from the List’s talk page. Zsinj^Talk 01:47, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Remove I would support a removal from featured list status for now. The lead and history sections can definitely be more detailed, while there are quite a few buildings on the main list that lack citations. There are too many red links as well. Citations are largely missing from the under construction and proposed section. LivinAWestLife (talk) 08:32, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Image sizes in the tables are also oddly inconsistent. LivinAWestLife (talk) 08:35, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support delisting. Whole sections toward the end of the article are totally unsourced. Bgsu98 (Talk) 01:39, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
