Featured lists in Misplaced Pages

This star, with one point broken, symbolizes the featured candidates on Misplaced Pages.
This star, with one point broken, symbolizes the featured candidates on Misplaced Pages.
Here we determine which lists are featured on Misplaced Pages:Featured lists. A featured list should exemplify Misplaced Pages's very best work, as mentioned in the criteria.

If you nominate a list, you will be expected to make a good-faith effort to address objections that are raised. If you nominate something you have worked on, note it as a self-nomination. You may wish to receive feedback before nominating a list by listing it at Peer review.

Consensus must be reached for an article to be promoted to featured list status. If enough time passes without objections being resolved, nominations will be removed from the candidates list and archived.

Nomination procedure

  1. Check the featured list criteria and make sure the article meets all of them before nominating.
  2. Place {{FLC}} on the talk page of the nominated article. If you are resubmitting an article, do not delete the old {{FLCfailed}} template.
  3. From there, click on the "leave comments" link to create a new sub-page for the nomination.
  4. If you are resubmitting an article, use the Move button to rename the previous nomination sub-page to an archive. For example, Misplaced Pages:Featured list candidates/List of television stations → Misplaced Pages:Featured list candidates/List of television stations/archive1. Find where the previous discussion is listed in the featured log and update the link there, as well as on the {{FLCfailed}} template of the article's talk page.
  5. Place ===]=== at the top of the new sub-page, write your reason for nominating the article below the heading, and save the sub-page. Please make sure you sign your post.
  6. Finally, place {{Misplaced Pages:Featured list candidates/name of nominated list}} at the top of the list of nominees on this page by first copying the above, clicking "edit" on the top of this page, and then pasting, making sure to add the name of the nominated article. While adding a candidate, mention the name of the list in the edit summary.

Supporting and objecting

Please review the nominated lists fully before deciding to support or oppose a nomination.

  • If you approve of a list, write "Support" followed by your reasons and sign.
  • If you oppose a nomination, write "Oppose" followed by the reason for your objection. Each objection must provide a specific rationale that can be addressed. If nothing can be done in principle to fix the source of the objection or it is not based on policy, the objection may be ignored.
    • To withdraw an objection, strike it out (with <s>...</s> ) rather than removing it. Contributors should allow reviewers the opportunity to do this themselves; if you feel that the matter has been addressed, say so rather than striking out the reviewer's text.

Featured list candidates will remain on this page for a minimum period of 10 days. Consensus must be reached in order to be promoted to featured list status, and a list must also garner a minimum of 4 "Support" votes (counting the original nomination as a "Support" vote, provided it is not withdrawn). Featured list candidates that are not promoted after 10 days will be removed from the candidates list to the failed log unless (1) objections are being actively addressed; or (2) although there are no objections, the list has not garnered 4 "Support" votes. In these cases an additional period of time will be given to the list to see whether it can attract more support. Articles that have gained significant opposition and the nominator has made few attempts to address these concerns may be closed early. Please remember that the process is not entirely a vote, and FLCs with majority support can still fail if they don't fully meet the criteria.

To archive a nomination

Please note that the rest of the tasks, including updating the list's page and closing the discussion, will be done automatically by the GimmeBot.
