Zelda Wiki:Failed Nominations

Three signed votes in opposition of a nominated article or picture temporarily disqualify it from becoming featured.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
This would be an informing and new article for newcomers. --Eponasowner 19:18, 30 November 2007 (EST)


 * 1) It's the newest Zelda game so I think people should know about it. --Bigrageous 15:35, 22 December 2007 (EST)


 * 1) Other than the fact that this has had only one vote in almost 3 months, I think the quality of the article is somewhat lacking (there are other better game articles), and it shouldn't be featured merely by virtue of PH being the newest game in the series. —Adam (talk) 13:11, 23 February 2008 (EST)
 * 2) I would have thought a more interesting article for newcomers would be something like A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time. --AmrasCalmacil 15:56, 24 February 2008 (EST)
 * 3) I agree, though Phantom Hourglass is a great game for Zelda newcomers, the article lacks interesting content. Ika5263 23:57, 28 February 2008 (EST)

Epona
A main part of the Zelda games, with a nicely set-out page and appropriate graphics. Should deserve a Feature. --Beanie 23:47, 23 February 2008 (EST)


 * 1) I love Epona, but in my opinion, this article isn't very well written. It doesn't deserve to be featured untill it get a good rewrite.--Link hero of light 10:16, 24 February 2008 (EST)
 * 2) It's a good article, but not great. And it doesn't cite any sources. —Adam (talk) 16:13, 29 February 2008 (EST)
 * 3) I love Epona as well, but as you said it is not very well written. --Claire 16:53, 29 February 2008 (EST)

Helmaroc King
Cool boss should be featured --Trogdor 3:49 19 February 2008 (EST)


 * 1) Is that really a good reason to be featured?  (Unsigned vote by AmrasCalmacil - see rule 6 above)
 * 2) Short answer; no it's not! The article is average at best, and cites no sources. —Adam (talk) 11:20, 8 March 2008 (EST)
 * 3) Uhh...yeaah....nowhere near as cool as most other bosses AND you didn't give a very good reason to why it should be featured. --ShadowLink45
 * 4) Well, no? It's a good length, but links to almost nothing else in the Wiki, needs quite a bit of re-writing, and, as mentioned, cites no sources. --Ando (Talk) 18:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)

ReDead
The ReDead are classic "zombies" if you will. They have appeared in most games and are probably one of the creepiest creatures I've ever seen. --Zeldagirl93 19:55, 1 March 2008 (EST)


 * 1) I like these enemies for years the redeads are a cool zombies  (Unsigned vote by Lightningtom - see rule 6 above)
 * 2) Me too. These enemys are CREEPY as heck, yet so awesome. --ShadowLink45


 * 1) I'm torn here, because the article is a very good article, but does not meet all the criteria for featured article status (namely, citing no sources). --Ando (Talk) 18:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
 * 2) I like the article, but I have to oppose because I HATE these enemies! Their screams freak me out completely! Ika5263 11:36, 20 March 2008 (EDT)
 * 3) Just not quite good enough yet, I'm afraid. —Adam (talk) 14:19, 20 March 2008 (EDT)

Octorok
Mainly for previously holding the perfect attendence award, pre-Twilight Princess. --AmrasCalmacil 15:53, 24 February 2008 (EST)


 * 1) Great enemy, not-so-great article. To me, it's messy, disorganized, information-lite, and cites no sources. —Adam (talk) 11:20, 8 March 2008 (EST)
 * 2) Has very little information and could be organized better. And no sources cited. --Ando (Talk) 18:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
 * 3) This article is definitely not up to standards yet - and appearing in a Zelda game is not criteria... this is a Zelda wiki, of course it was in a bunch of Zelda games. --Jase 07:51, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Volvagia
Definitely the best boss of the best game I've ever played. It's a very descriptive article of the whack-a-mole dragon. --Sk8torchic 4:21 7 March 2008 (EST)


 * 1) I think it is a good article because this is a boss that people may be starting to forget about. Good t bring it back into memory. --Bigrageous 23:45, 26 March 2008 (EDT)


 * 1) I like this boss too, but the article's not up to scratch. Too short, and Volvagia features in only one game out of dozens! —Adam (talk) 11:20, 8 March 2008 (EST)
 * 2) Well, the article's writing is a little weird to me, and the format's a little weird. Needs re-writing. --Ando (Talk) 18:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
 * 3) Waaaaaay too short. I know we want quality over quantity, but this article's only got a couple paragraphs. ;) --Jase 07:49, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Darknut
Just because it's a very interesting article, full of facts, different types of the enemy (example: Great Darknut), and very good and interesting info! It also talks about this enemy's past future, origin, and it gives just about every example about this enemy that there is, especially in the Twilight Princess paragraph. --Ika5263 18:14, 26 February 2008 (EST)


 * 1) decent enough  (Unsigned vote by Zoralink64 - see rule 6 above)


 * 1) This is a strange article for me, because the first half has very little info, whereas the second half is pretty good. Still needs link fixes, sources, amongst other small fixes --Ando (Talk) 18:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
 * 2) If the first half was anywhere near as good as the second half, this would be featured article material. --Jase 07:51, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 3) Great in parts, but there are just too many incomplete sections for this to qualify for featured status. —Adam (talk) 12:23, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Light-Infused Master Sword
An amazing picture that to me, shows the true potential of the Master Sword. --Seablue254 17:25, 2 April 2008 (EDT)


 * 1) Its a bit to fuzzy--Zanramon ( &#39; .&#39; ) look its kirby &#91;&#39;_&gt;&#39;] 17:42, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 2) Zanramons right, it's too fuzy. --Link hero of light 21:06, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 3) I also agree. It's incredibly low-resolution as well. --Jase 07:45, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 4) It's too fizy.--Article and Picture Voter 11:25, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Zant Toy
Clear picture and as far as I know, ZW.org is the only zelda wiki that has a picture of zelda action figures.--Link hero of light 17:55, 24 March 2008 (EDT)


 * 1) I think it'd be fun to have a picture of the toy Zant up.  (Unsigned vote by Blood Rayne - see rule 6 above)


 * 1) Not one for me, I'm afraid. Neither the image or the figure itself are particularly good. —Adam (talk) 15:19, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
 * 2) No this picture aint that great —lom678
 * 3) It's not necessarily a bad or incredibly common image, but it doesn't quite seem worthy of being featured to me. --Douken 20:11, 4 April 2008 (EDT)

Clawshot
One of the coolest and most unique items in the whole franchise. A descriptive article of my favorite incarnation of my favorite item, the hookshot. --Nittles 17:15, 4 March 2008 (EST)


 * 1) Cool item, but unfortunately the article is too short and cites no sources. Also, in the same way as Boomerang (a past featured article) this would need to be merged with all other variations (Hookshot, Longshot, Grappling Hook etc.) in order to qualify, and I don't feel that would be appropriate. —Adam (talk) 11:20, 8 March 2008 (EST)
 * 2) While I'm not sure about the article being too short, I will say that I agree with the problem of the article citing no sources, and I don't agree with some of the writing (inappropriate contractions, etc.). --Ando (Talk) 18:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
 * 3) I agree with Adam, it needs to be merged with the other variations if it is to be featured. The opening statements could be flushed out a little more as well (unfortunately, I'm not much of an expert on TP). --Guy (T 13:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Gohma
Has been in the zelda series from the beginning so yeah--Lom678 6:54 16 February 2008 (EST)


 * 1) For quite a while when I played Ocarina of Time, Gohma was my favourite boss. That may no longer be the case, but I do believe it deserves to be featured. --Yuvorias 12:48, 19 March 2008 (EST)
 * 2) This is a great article with lots of good info about a classic Zelda boss. --Seraphim 20:16, 23 March 2008 (EST)
 * 3) This article tells you about all the different Gohma's through the games and she is the most recurring boss and one of the coolest at that (OOT's Gohma being my favourite)--Kresh64 16:44, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 4) A cool boss that's been featured and changed enough, and the article covers each form pretty well --Emeryn 14:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) Gohma is one crazy boss. I really like her in Twilight Princess and she's been featured in the game since the very beginning. Gohmas' got my vote! --Zeldagirl93 17:13 6 April 2008 (EST)


 * 1) While it is a decent article, it fails to cite sources and is a little sloppy in some places. Adzma 03:09, 20 March 2008 (EDT)
 * 2) Like Adzma said, its organization could use work here and there.  I'm fairly certain some of those sections (LA, FSA) could use a little more detail too.  I wouldn't call it bad, but I wouldn't say it's worthy of being featured either. --Guy (T 13:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) It's okay, yet dosen't cite sources and some of it could use more detail. --David (T : C) 23:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Toon Link
Cool picture from a cool game.--Article and Picture Voter 11:37, 3 April 2008 (EDT)


 * 1) Interesting. I think the Wind Waker graphics could use a bit of Twilight Princess dust, but 3D 'Toon Link looks rather cute. --Emeryn 19:41, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 2) My little sister is one who nominated this, but sibling rivalry aside :), this is a pretty good picture.--Link hero of light 19:47, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 3) I agree. this is a cool picture from a cool game! Let's feature it! --Seablue254 15:23, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 4) Appart from this person being my username. This picture is clear and just awesome.--Toon Link 21:01, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 5) One pick that definetly deserves to be featured.--The Legend of Zelda 00:34, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) this picture should without a doubt be featured.--User:Gillispie 15:52, 14 April
 * 7) Toon link is cool and Wind waker is one of my favourite zelda games.--Olle93 20:51, 15 April
 * 8) He's my best Brawl character and my favorite Link incarnation--IceySheegoth11:24,28 April 2008 (PT)


 * 1) I really like this picture and think that it should eventually be a featured picture. But Brawl has been out for less than a month and I don't think we should have spoilers of this level on the main page. --Hisak 21:24, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 2) I agree with Hisak. At this point of time, this is still spoiler worthy for those few Zelda fans who don't know about it.Mases 16:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Truthfully, I don't see the difference between any of the Smash Bros. pictures on this Wiki, besides the character standing in them. They're pretty standard pictures. I also agree with Hisak and Mases. At least feature it later on... --Yuvorias 12:57, 29 April 2008 (EST)

Zora
This race is one of the most important and reacurring LoZ races. They control the water that goes through Hyrule. They are also some of the most interesting characters in the game. They are very important if you ask me. I love the Zora. They are so important to the LoZ series it isn't even funny. They carry the most mystery and their forms are so awesome that I would love to learn more about them. They deserve their limelight moment. Zane (talk) 17:19, 14 April


 * 1) I just think that Zoras are cool, they look so proud. --Olle93 22:35, 19 April
 * 2) The Zora are a sophisticated cool looking race, In Ocarina of Time you help them and they help backso you can get the water spiritual stone. That's my vote. --Maggalo 19:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) I think it needs a bit more information about the Zola from the original Legend of Zelda. There could be more information for the specific game descriptions. More about the possibly Rito theory with sources would be much better. (The Rito page has an entire section about the evolution theory yet the Zora page has a simple sentence). This is a decent article, but I think the standard for a featured article needs to be raised and I don't think this is quite, 'complete' for it to be available. Mases 16:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) The article is too brief. It should be expanded. It just skims over the material without giving enough information. There is much more information that can be added. As it is, this article is incomplete. Not up to the standards of a featured article.--Matt 17:45, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) They're an awesome race, Zoras. Still, we need more information in some of the sections before it can be featured. --Yuvorias, 11:02, 3 May 2008 (EST)
