From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quentin Tarantino is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and actor. His films are characterized by nonlinear storylines, aestheticization of violence, extended scenes of dialogue, ensemble casts, references to popular culture and a wide variety of other films, soundtracks primarily containing songs and score pieces from the 1960s to the 1980s, alternate history, and features of neo-noir film.

I am nominating director Quentin Tarantino as a good topic since many of his films have reached good-article status, along with his filmography, and his film's Inglourious Basterds accolade list as they have both reached featured-list status.

Don't Smile at Me (stylized as dont smile at me) is the debut EP by American singer Billie Eilish. It was released on August 11, 2017, through Darkroom and Interscope Records. The majority of the material on the EP was written by Eilish and her brother Finneas, the latter of which solely handled production. It is an electropop record with elements of R&B and jazz.

I am nominating this for a good topic after working hard on all of the articles and bringing them to GA status during quarantine and the start of the school year. --The Ultimate Boss (talk) 21:43, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bryan Rutherford, the tour articles are nominated for deletion because lack of resources. The Ultimate Boss (talk) 23:16, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
One of the articles already got the PROD removed. So until there will be actual nominations for deletions, there are still missing pieces for the topic. GamerPro64 23:28, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It wouldn't matter if the articles were already deleted, or even if they had never existed; the topic is still incomplete without them. The tours are notable events, beyond dispute, and they fall within the scope of this topic. A good/featured topic isn't just "the articles about this topic that currently happen to GA/FA", nor is it "the articles about this topic that currently happen to exist"; criterion 1(d) requires that the topic have "no obvious gaps (missing or low-quality articles)", so "missing articles" about notable topics that fall within the scope of the proposal fail the nomination. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 00:10, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) I was confused by The Ultimate Boss's actions until seeing this page in their recent contributions. The user nominated the article for GA twice in a row, but chose not to engage positively in any of the feedback given. The user now just tried to nominate it for PROD and then for GA in succession—presumably, the idea is that either outcome being accepted is the same as far as this topic nomination goes. I feel this should be noted here for full understanding by any users who wish to comment, but do not wish to act dismissively towards The Ultimate Boss' hard work on this topic in general. — Bilorv (talk) 00:13, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bilorv, you are stressing me out a lot! You are not in the position to decide to get rid of my GA nominations. If it’s an admin, then that’s fine. The Ultimate Boss (talk) 00:35, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Let's continue this discussion on your talk page. — Bilorv (talk) 01:41, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I know additions need nominations so I assume removals require them too? Anyways, I am renominating the topic to remove the recently merged Tropical Depression One (2009). NoahTalk 20:41, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Tropical Storm Alpha is a set index article, 1925 Florida tropical storm doesn't have the template.--Jarodalien (talk) 13:31, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed Alpha which was incorrect as the result of a page move last week. You are incorrect on the 1925 storm; it is listed on its talk page: 1925 Florida tropical storm is part of the Off-season Atlantic hurricanes series, a good topic. This is identified as among the best series of articles produced by the Wikipedia community. If you can update or improve it, please do so. NoahTalk 16:17, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Currently there are nine separate GA quality articles that involve Croatia politics that includes its independence referendum, its government, and some of its foreign relations. --Jon698 (talk) 00:44, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - Agree with Bryan Rutherford and Reywas92 that the articles in this topic seem broad, random and incomplete. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 23:31, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - the comment "Currently there are nine separate GA quality articles that involve Croatia politics" implies that the nominator is working under the misunderstanding that you can group together GAs relating to a topic and nominate them, even if they don't cover the whole of the topic, which unfortunately is definitely the case here....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:25, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Manuel Trujillo Durán

[edit]

Good topic nomination for articles relating to Manuel Trujillo Durán: his article; two films credited to him; and major locations involved in his work. Kingsif (talk) 00:56, 21 April 2020 (UTC) [reply]

  • Oppose: Sorry, these are all fine articles, but I'm not seeing a topic. The two films' articles say that they are of unknown authorship, with Durán only one of a number of possible filmmakers. I can almost see the connection with the Baralt Theatre, but the Hotel Europa article doesn't even contain Durán's name. This group isn't a comprehensive set of all films made by him, much less his other photographic works, nor does it cover the magazine, newspaper, and exhibition hall he founded. In short, I feel that the nomination fails FT criterion 1(b), and it also objectively fails 1(c): "All articles or lists in the topic are linked together ... and share a common category or super-category": they're not all linked together, and there's no unifying category, because there's no defined topic scope. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 02:13, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Bryanrutherford0: No, that's great, thanks for the input - I'm new to good topics, and the comprehensive explanation also really helps. Out of interest, I had been (before this one) considering nominating the Un célebre especialista... film as a topic with Trujillo, the theatre and the hotel in it, but I thought they were too weakly connected, is that also about right? And any ideas, beyond what you've listed above, on what would make up such topics? Kingsif (talk) 04:13, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Christgau's record guides are a series of decade-encompassing music reference books collecting album reviews by American music critic Robert Christgau, originally written mostly for his "Consumer Guide" column in The Village Voice. Published in three iterations spanning the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, they are popular and influential works in the fields of music journalism and popular music studies during the album era.

There are at least three articles of a clear similarity with no gap in covering the topic - the book series - which is summarized in their leads. Each article is of high quality, similar structure, and common infobox, which links them together for navigation. --isento (talk) 16:25, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose: Unfortunately, this proposal appears to me to fail more than one of the FT/GT Criteria. It fails criterion 1(c) by having no shared category, though it might make sense to create one and put them in. More importantly, it fails criterion 2 by having no top-level summary article. There would need to be a good/featured article about the series of record guides as a whole, indicating why the series as a whole was notable and citing coverage of the importance and impact of the series as a whole, to serve as the main article of this topic before it could be promoted. If such an article can be created and recognized as good, then this will be a credible nomination. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 17:05, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apollo was the third human spaceflight program of the United States carried out by NASA, which succeeded in landing the first humans on the Moon from 1969 to 1972. Apollo conducted nine spaceflights to the Moon, six of which were Moon landings. Apollo spurred advances in many areas of technology incidental to rocketry and human spaceflight.
