| − | * '''Self nomination'''. This was one of my favourite all time TNG episodes. I feel that I've been exhaustive with writing this article without rambling on. I've written up most of the unwritten references as well to supplement the article.--[[User:Scimitar|Scimitar]] 12:30, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC) |

| − | * '''Support'''. Great work Gv`, as always. I particularly like the now-included rooms, although I wish the series kept ''a little'' continuity with bridges. - [[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] 08:48, 30 Jul 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | * '''Support'''. This is a areally nicely written article. To me it's comparable to those on the best-written Federation starship classes. One little comment though. Was ''"[[Tin Man]]"'' the first episode where the name "D'deridex" was first quoted (by Data)? That could be of some use in the background information.--[[User:Scimitar|Scimitar]] 10:16, 30 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

| − | * '''Oppose'''. It's a good article, no doubt, but far from what a featured article should be: the best of the best, an example of MA's community work... It's a good article, but the subject simply isn't featured on the show enough for it to be a candidate for a FA. [[User:Ottens|Ottens]] 17:45, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | * '''Mild oppose''' I agree with ottens. Also, it seems that second pic with the ''Miranda''-class being destroyed is kinda redundant, where a pic of the asteroid power source would be useful. Like [[:Image:First Battle of Chin\'toka 3.jpg]], or that before it exploded. - [[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] 21:49, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC) |

| − | * '''Oppose'''. Although I composed/wrote much of the article, I still feel a considerable ammount of information is lacking before it should be featured: information on interest in Shakespearian theatre and classical music; relationship with Deanna Troi; information on relationships (possibly under "Romance") with Lily Sloane, Jenice Manheim, Miranda Vigo, Anij, possibly also the Borg Queen; information from "Star Trek: Generations".

I dont know how this will be recieved I just knwo I am proud of this article and I feel that it is very, very complete.

| − | *'''Oppose'''. Don't get me wrong, the article's nicely written but I don't feel that it's one of those articles where the author(s) have gone well out of their way to write it - not only in terms of detail but adding background information (where appropriate) and just those other bits and pieces. --[[User:Scimitar|Scimitar]] 16:59, 31 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

| − | * Nominating because I believe that this article is complete, well written, and a great example of our work as a community. It works very well as a recurring character page. [[User:Mask|Mask]] 07:19, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | '''Oppose''- Its missing many minor things such as, the that Barclay de-evolved into a spider, the entire time he was affected by the alien probe, and hooked himself in teh the Enterprises computer, the fact that he does not play chess, but after the incident found a new incite for it. Also i believe on teh bottem that Barcloy doesn't stutter, they say he stammers? These are a few things that if taken care of I would change my vote. If not taken care of I'll try to see if i can fix. -[[User:Kahless|Kahless]] 07:48, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

| − | *'''Oppose'''. Incomplete, such as mentioned above. Also, is Barclay earning of dividing sections? Not that this obviously has any requirement for featured, but I always think a page looks better with them. - [[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] 08:21, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

| − | **Ya know, it seems to me, that all to often people nominate pages that "should be featured". Not like, really great articles like [[Grathon Tolar]], [[United]], or [[Search for the Xindi superweapon]], but articles that '''should''' have so much information, you would expect them to be featured '''if''' they were complete. (like [[Jean-Luc Picard]], [[Worf]], and [[Data]]) People should remember to vote on if the page has covered all the information, it's creative, etc. and not because "they're a main character", or "they're a great, and funny character!" - [[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] 18:44, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC) |

Latest revision as of 15:18, 20 March 2024
This page is for the nomination and discussion of articles that may be potentially included in Memory Alpha's list of featured articles. A featured article is an especially well-written, informative, and comprehensive article that covers all available information on a subject. If you feel one of our articles meets this criteria, you may suggest it here in accordance with the nomination policy. For a list of articles previously nominated, see the archive.
To bring up a current featured article for review, please see the review procedure.
To nominate an article, start a new discussion under "Nominations without objections" with a heading named for the article you want to suggest. Provide an appropriate picture and a two- to three-paragraph summary of the article. This is usually the article's lead-in if possible, and should not contain any links, except to the article itself. This is what will be displayed on the main page and in the portals if the nomination is successful. Followed that by a brief reason why you feel the article should be featured.
Sample format:
=== <article> === [[File:<image>|thumb|<caption>]] '''[[<article>]]''' <summary> ---- <reasoning> - <signature>
Once this is done, a notice that the article has been nominated as a featured article candidate should be added to the article in question by inserting {{fan}} at the top of the page, above any other templates except the article type template.
When you are commenting on a nomination, please take the time to read the entire article before you decide whether to Support or Oppose the nomination. Nominations with objections should be moved to the appropriate section until they are resolved.
When supporting or opposing an article, please use a bullet point (by adding a * before your comment) without any indent so these will be easy to find later. General comments should be indented as usual, and, as always, please sign your nominations and comments with "~~~~".
Nominations without objections
Nick Locarno in 2381
Nicholas "Nick" Locarno was a male Human who lived during the late-24th century. Following his expulsion from Starfleet Academy for getting a fellow cadet killed in a botched Kolvoord Starburst, he eventually moved to New Axton where he began operating as a civilian pilot for hire.
Over the next decade, his resentment towards Starfleet festered so much that he conspired to found an independent space exploration organization called Nova Fleet, consisting of starships stolen with the aid of lower deckers he talked into mutinying against their captains.
However, when he attempted to recruit Beckett Mariner, she refused to cooperate and fled with a Genesis Device he had planned to use as a deterrent. His erratic behavior as a result of her actions ended up alienating his followers and ultimately resulted in his death when he was caught in the device's detonation. (TNG: "The First Duty"; LD: "The Inner Fight", "Old Friends, New Planets")
