Zelda Wiki:Featured Content Disqualification

Given that Zelda Wiki.org now has a good number of Featured articles and pictures, it's been decided that a process for weeding out some of the less-than-exemplary content should begin. So this is it!

The goal is to ensure that our current selection of Featured Content remains the best possible showcase of quality content, by removing any articles or images which don't meet the stated criteria. This will be done by the voting process below.

The rules are simple. One vote per calendar month is allowed (entirely separate from any votes placed in other content voting pages), to be added below the relevant header. Please base your judgment primarily on the relevant criteria detailed here:

Feel free to nominate any other content which you feel is eligible for disqualification, clearly stating why. At the point where a new Featured slot is required (usually when a new article or image reaches the required number of votes to become Featured.) Oh, and as always:
 * Featured Article criteria
 * Featured Picture criteria

'''ALL votes and nominations MUST be signed using --~. If you do not sign your opinion or second, your vote WILL NOT be counted!'''

Zelda Timeline
As it has been pointed out elsewhere, this article's information has now become outdated with the release of newer games. It doesn't use any references, and although the topic is a very popular one, it's highly subjective when compared to the largely factual body of information normally promoted as Featured. --Adamcox82 08:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) Meh. No sources, too much subjectivity (which, given the topic makes it... tolerable?), not to mention, as stated, it's outdated given the recent releases. Also, the writing style doesn't strike me as very encyclopedic. --Ando (T) 00:18, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

ZeldaInformer
When this article was featured, it was definitely the nest website article on the wiki, having been one of the first to use the infobox and be properly subdivided and include references. However, now that so many other website articles have been improved in the same way, it's simply average. Fairly short, and it seems a little unfair to promote only one of our member sites in this way. Also, nearly a year on it seems that the controversy of the launch must have died down enough to make it less than newsworthy. --Adamcox82 08:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Maybe controversial, but this article seems to me to be just one amongst many. It's no longer the latest game (as it was when it became Featured), and wasn't actually voted in but rather selected by the staff. Also, the single token reference doesn't really cut it, and the YouTube video included doesn't work. --Adamcox82 08:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) I love Twilight Princess, but I have to agree with that. I've always seen this page as just one among many. If this is featured, then why not all the other games, like Ocarina of Time? --Yuvorias, 11:21, 11 May 2008 (EST)

Link's Awakening Art
This image image is rather small. The quality is not up to par with the other featured pictures. The source is also unknown.--Matt 22:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
