Nominated Articles Meeting Requirements
Articles must still be on list a week after being posted (see below) to be moved to the queue list or become a featured article immediately, depending on the queue.

What makes a featured article?
So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.

An article must...


 * 1) ...must have had a peer review
 * 2) ...be well written and detailed (but not too detailed)
 * 3) ...be unbiased, non-point of view
 * 4) ...be sourced with all available sources and appearances
 * 5) ...be stylized fairly nicely
 * 6) ...not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e., )
 * 7) ...have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
 * 8) ...have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
 * 9) ...not have been previously featured
 * 10) ...be notable (have significant content) – sometimes complete articles like Spiny Shroopa don't have enough information available to warrant a FA.
 * 11) ...must be in the main namespace and not be a subpage
 * Note: A nomination may be canceled if any of the requirements are not met.
