None at the moment.

Ditch "Full Names" when appropriate
Usually, when you get to the "Full Name" part, you see a totally unconfirmed, made-up full name. We only need confirmed things, not speculations and ideas.

What do you mean by "Full Name"?

Like, for Bowser Jr, "Prince Bowser Koopa Jr". It's speculative nonsense.
 * I'm not sure all are speculation, Kamek has a reference for his.

Well, most are.

@Tails: You have a point, so I changed it a bit.

Allow Featuring and Unfeaturing nominations to fail before the deadline
I think that if an oppose comes up for why the nomination should fail, and the problem is not fixed, or a counter-argument is bought up against the oppose in a way that it cannot then be countered within 1 week the nomination should fail. This is so silly nominations like Featured Articles/Unfeature/N/Kirby can fail before the deadline and the article isn't left with an UNFA template when it doesn't deserve it. Under this new system nominations like this can fail long before they should. For the FA system if the flaw is something that cannot be fixed i.e. size, then it should fail after the timeframe.

Wait, what? I tried reading what you're saying, but I don't understand the gist of it.
 * Basically if an oppose vote is put in, and it's not fixed or countered then the nomination should fail.
 * What if there is a valid article nominated to be featured, and to satisfy the opposition, it takes a lot of work? You weren't there when Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story was nominated to be featured, and it took a while (more than 1 week) and a lot of work to satisfy the opposition. I know it eventually became unfeatured for another reason, but that's not my point. A better way to word it is if there is nothing being done (or nothing can be done, such as in Super Mario 3D World) to satisfy the opposition within a time period, then the article should fail.
 * Yeah, alright.

@Lefty In a way that cannot be countered, what I mean by that is a counter-argument for which there is no counter. For example, on the Kirby nomination, the subject has no relevance to the quality, it cannot be countered. And the 1 week timeframe as said only applies to the FAs if the problem is unfixible, the 1 week deadline mainly applies to the unfeaturing because if the problem is fixed there's no point on the article just sitting around for 2 months with the unfeature template on it.
 * This is obviously not fixable, but there may be situations where this happens: who determines something to be not fixable? The 1 week deadline apparently applies to featuring articles as well. Also, new points may be brought up while an article is getting unfeatured, but I suppose 1 week should be enough to point out flaws in the article or the votes. There are also problems in articles that are going to be unfeatured that may take a week to fix (I remember that Goomba article voting to get unfeatured; it was about to be unfeatured until I worked really hard to refute that giant paragraph of points Time Turner done).
 * By fixable it's more size, rather than quality, for example if I nominated Mushroom Drop it is far too small and that is an unfixable problem so after the week passes and the oppose points that out it fails. And for unfeaturing, it's not about taking 1 week to fix it, it's fixing the problem then opposing and as long as all the points in the unfeaturing nomination have been addressed then it fails.

The thing is, with SM3DW, all of the oppose votes are simply perring others, and even though it will fail, I don't want to hurt the feelings of the supporting people.
 * I doubt 3D World will be affected, because if this passes, then it'll be a week before it fails and I think in that time 3D World will have been released somewhere so theoretically the opposing reasons could be fixed.

Miscellaneous
None at the moment.
