Infosphere:Featured article nominations

These are The Infosphere's featured article nominations.

Please nominate articles that you think are worthy of being featured on the Main Page under a level-3 heading below.

How do you vote? Edit this page, and put your name under either  or   for each article nominated. You can do that with a sig template, three tildes, or simply.

You must nominate an article before creating the feature. Seriously.

Guidelines for featured articles
Featured articles should meet the following criteria.
 * Must have at least one image.
 * Must be at least 500 words.
 * This rule may be ignored if they are on something minor and everything known is described.
 * Should not have been featured before.
 * Should not still be on the What's new? section of the Main Page. Nominations of these pages will be accepted, but they won't actually be featured until they leave this listing.
 * Should not be marked with one of the templates in the Wiki Maintenance category.
 * Probably other stuff, too.

Nominations
The Nominations section is for articles that you feel are ready to be featured. If they still need work, add them to the Potential candidates section.

There's a lot non-comic to be featured first, especially since I've never even touched a Futurama comic it's simply not that interesting to me. Aki 10:06, 16 August 2010 (CEST)
 * I live in Portugal, and they don't sell those here, so I've never touched one either. (I've read "Futurama Returns", but I didn't touch it, so...) I still think the "Soldier Boys" article is pretty good, though. (And has a nice image too!) San Saber 14:12, 20 December 2010 (CET)

Nine
Nominated on 18 March, 2011.


 * Sanfazer
 * Aki


 * Teyrn of Highever

Comments
A very good-looking article on a very special character. And I helped! Sanfazer 23:12, 18 March 2011 (CET)
 * Taking into account the fact that he is a cameo character, it would make sense that his article wouldn't have a lot in the way of a biography or production information. But I dislike the fact that the largest portions of his article are just a section of pictures and a section of quotes. Teyrn of Highever 23:26, 18 March 2011 (CET)
 * I disagree. The article has a Production section because of the character's bizarre purpose, and a Biography section as an attempt of giving all his appearances some meaning. As for the Image Gallery and Quotes sections, they are, from my point of view, beneficial. If they were smaller, the article's quality would be lower. Sanfazer 20:46, 19 March 2011 (CET)
 * If some of the pictures were cut (there are too many), the article could be FA. I agree with Sanfazer about the production part. Aki 16:25, 28 March 2011 (CEST)

Human Horn
Nominated on 8 May, 2011.


 * Aki

Comments
Bit short, isn't it? Teyrn of Highever 00:31, 8 May 2011 (CEST)
 * I don't think a FA must be long, but it must have the quantity of text to represent how much the subject has been covered. This article covers that. Correct me if I'm wrong. Aki 00:41, 8 May 2011 (CEST)
 * You're not. I just saying that with only two paragraphs of text, it seems small when compared to the other articles that have been featured. Teyrn of Highever 00:49, 8 May 2011 (CEST)

Robosexuality

Potential candidates
The Potential candidates section is for articles that you feel should be featured, but need a bit more polishing/completeness. If they are probably ready, add them to the Nominations section. Feel free also to move articles in this section to Nominations when you think they're good to go.

Bending Units
Nominated on 26 July, 2009.

Comments
Maybe if there's more info. If someone thinks it can be a candidate, go ahead. 03:48, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Planet Express
Nominated on 9 October, 2010.

Comments
As Aki has stressed before, the Update template should be gotten rid of in order for an article to be featurable. This one's had it for a long time. Sanfazer 23:12, 18 March 2011 (CET)

Cornwood
Nominated on 1 March, 2011.

Comments
The article is relatively thorough but can still be improved. One plus would be an image gallery (many images are already available on the Infosphere but not in that article) and a summary of its history (i. e. the Bender's Game plot). Aki 18:22, 1 March 2011 (CET)
 * I have to say no. Like you said, it needs a few more pictures and a lot more text. The only developed category is the allusions and it's only tables. There has to be more that can be added. If there isn't, it shouldn't be nominated. Teyrn of Highever 15:25, 2 March 2011 (CET)
 * I think it should be added to potential candidates instead. Teyrn of Highever 16:32, 2 March 2011 (CET)
 * My thoughts exactly. Everyone agree Cornwood, Planet Express, and Season 6 should be in the section below? Aki the Nominator, what do you think? Sanfazer 23:47, 2 March 2011 (CET)
 * True. I moved the aforementioned articles. Aki 12:49, 6 March 2011 (CET)
 * ... Sanfazer 20:31, 7 March 2011 (CET)
