* It turns out that this article was actually featured on the Pikmin Wikia during the split period, but I guess that doesn't count, and it can still be featured. Also, due to this article's importance, it should probably be the featured article when the ''Pikmin'' mobile app releases (probably in October-November; I think [[Cupid's Grenade]] should be featured in August-September). &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 21:37, July 17, 2021 (EDT)
*  
** Update: We featured {{psm}} for this time period instead because it was looking like the app would release later, but it turns out it did release in this time, plus we missed the chance to have Captain Olimar be the featured article for ''Pikmin''{{'s}} 20th anniversary. Oh well; we've missed it now. The article's still good though, so it's ready to feature whenever. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 04:58, October 31, 2021 (EDT)

* Related to the above comments: Pikmin 4 is coming up sometime (hopefully) soon, so perhaps we could save this article for after that game's release (and if Olimar ends up being a major part of the game)?

* I'm honestly torn on this one. While I love the Musings of a Sidekick thing and would love to raise awareness of this somewhat famous yet still obscure promo content, I'm not really sure if smaller articles are the best candidates for showcasing on the front page of the wiki. If we're really ''that'' concerned about our featured articles needing to represent the size and quality of wiki articles in general, then this is probably not the one to use.

* Considering that nectar itself is a candidate for being featured and has gotten more attention on this page, would it be redundant to keep the eggs as a feature candidate?

** Not at all; eggs and nectar are very different topics and there's different things to say about them.

Captain Olimar

Support

  1. (Nominator:) This article may have been rejected 13 years ago, but now it's a well-written article with good-quality information. Given the importance of Olimar to the series, it would be nice to finally feature this article. — Soprano (formerly Botanist)(talk) 05:26, May 9, 2021 (EDT)

  • It turns out that this article was actually featured on the Pikmin Wikia during the split period, but I guess that doesn't count, and it can still be featured. Also, due to this article's importance, it should probably be the featured article when the Pikmin mobile app releases (probably in October-November; I think Cupid's Grenade should be featured in August-September). — Soprano(talk) 21:37, July 17, 2021 (EDT)
    • Update: We featured Pikmin Short Movies for this time period instead because it was looking like the app would release later, but it turns out it did release in this time, plus we missed the chance to have Captain Olimar be the featured article for Pikmin's 20th anniversary. Oh well; we've missed it now. The article's still good though, so it's ready to feature whenever. — Soprano(talk) 04:58, October 31, 2021 (EDT)
  • Related to the above comments: Pikmin 4 is coming up sometime (hopefully) soon, so perhaps we could save this article for after that game's release (and if Olimar ends up being a major part of the game)? Midnight blue (talk) 19:57, January 24, 2023 (EST)
    • Definitely; this article needs to wait for now. — Soprano(talk) 20:02, January 24, 2023 (EST)

Saved game selection menu

  1. (Nominator:) The most complete menu article, with a fascinating section on the orb color mechanic in Pikmin 2. — Soprano(talk) 04:39, May 16, 2021 (EDT)
  2. {EspyoT} 15:09, May 17, 2021 (EDT)

Oppose

  1. I'm changing my support of this one to opposition, as the saved game selection menu is just not notable enough to be featured. It has an interesting section, but the article as a whole is just not very interesting. The only menus notable enough to be featured are probably the area selection menu and title screen. — Soprano(talk) 00:15, October 7, 2021 (EDT)
  2. Yeah, guess so. — {EspyoT} 15:45, October 9, 2021 (EDT)
  3. This seems like an awfully specific and niche thing to have as a featured article. Of all the things I could think to showcase, a screen you typically look at for just a couple seconds at a time isn't one of them. Midnight blue (talk) 20:15, January 24, 2023 (EST)

Musings of a Sidekick

  1. (Nominator:) It's a small page, and it's not important, but it could be a fun little page to feature that I doubt many people know about. Burrhead2 (talk) 10:25, September 18, 2022 (EDT)
  2. It's so small and simple but...I really can't say no. — {EspyoT} 11:05, September 18, 2022 (EDT)

Oppose

  1. In my opinion this article is too basic to be a featured article. Most of it is just a very long quote, with the only Pikipedia-written section being the introduction. So while featuring this would raise awareness of this little-known piece of media, it doesn't show the best of what the wiki has to offer. — Soprano(talk) 18:22, September 18, 2022 (EDT)
  2. Like Soprano said, this article is too small. The only Pikipedia content is the first three lines of the page, the rest is a long quote. I understand wanting to promote an obscure content, but the featured article template is made to show high quality pages in the wiki, not for promotion. — GGabryy(talk) 21:24, March 28, 2024 (CET)

Comments

  • I'm honestly torn on this one. While I love the Musings of a Sidekick thing and would love to raise awareness of this somewhat famous yet still obscure promo content, I'm not really sure if smaller articles are the best candidates for showcasing on the front page of the wiki. If we're really that concerned about our featured articles needing to represent the size and quality of wiki articles in general, then this is probably not the one to use.

  1. (Nominator:) Article's not much, but it'll be pretty straight-forward once the tasks are done. It's a bit of an important subject, and the tidbits about the spawn chances can be interesting.

Comments

  • Considering that nectar itself is a candidate for being featured and has gotten more attention on this page, would it be redundant to keep the eggs as a feature candidate? Or is there enough to just the eggs themselves that would still warrant them being a separate feature? Midnight blue (talk) 20:23, January 24, 2023 (EST)
    • Not at all; eggs and nectar are very different topics and there's different things to say about them. Eggs don't only produce nectar, and they're also found in specific places which means the article has a location list. The two articles shouldn't be featured close together, but they can absolutely both be featured. — Soprano(talk) 03:26, January 25, 2023 (EST)
