Ready nominations

Submit nominations for pages that are ready, or nearly ready to be featured.

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)
  2. — {EspyoT} 11:13, May 11, 2021 (EDT)

Oppose

Comments

  • 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)

Bearded Amprat

Support

  1. (Nominator:) A simple high-quality article on a unique enemy. — Soprano(talk) 04:39, May 16, 2021 (EDT)

Saved game selection menu

Support

  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)

  1. (Nominator:) I'm surprised no cave articles have been featured yet. This one is one of the best. — Soprano(talk) 01:10, June 23, 2021 (EDT)

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)

Nectar egg

Support

  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. Might be a good pick for when we have no better articles to feature. — {EspyoT} 19:06, November 8, 2019 (EST)

Oppose

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)

  • It's a bit of a weird one to feature... It's clunky to read, and serves more as a list. — {EspyoT} 15:09, May 17, 2021 (EDT)

Secret Spot

Support

  1. (Nominator:) It's about time we had another featured article about Hey! Pikmin, and this is a good candidate. It has thorough information on level design and also more technical aspects of the mechanic. — Soprano(talk) 01:40, June 6, 2021 (EDT)

Oppose

Comments

  • It still has some massive pending tasks. Leaving such a massive todo in a featured article would look ugly, and in particular, the tasks that need to be done are very important to the core of the subject. I don't think this should be featured yet. — {EspyoT} 13:15, June 7, 2021 (EDT)

Mushroom Valley

Support

  1. (Nominator:) It's about time another Hey! Pikmin area article was featured after the first 2 in mid-2018. Unfortunately, there is not a single one that doesn't have at least 1 maintenance template. Of all of the articles, Mushroom Valley is the closest to being complete enough to be featured, and it's a pretty interesting level. — Soprano(talk) 00:15, October 7, 2021 (EDT)

Big Flower

Support

  1. (Nominator:) It would be a good idea to have the next featured article be related to Pikmin Bloom. While no articles about the game are ready for that yet, some might be ready at the start of December, and this is a good candidate. — Soprano(talk) 16:19, November 12, 2021 (EST)
  2. This is one of the most notable mechanics in Bloom that seems to get a lot of attention in research, so I think it would be a good featured article representative of that game. Midnight blue (talk) 20:29, January 24, 2023 (EST)

Oppose

  • Well, it's been a little over a year since this was first nominated, has it progressed any towards being ready to be featured? Or any Bloom related articles, for that matter? Midnight blue (talk) 20:29, January 24, 2023 (EST)
    • A lot of Bloom articles, including this one, would be ready for featuring if it were not for the fact that they need more images. Screenshots of Pikmin Bloom are hard to take due to the location information everywhere, and as a result most Bloom articles need their Gallery section expanded before they're ready to be featured. — Soprano(talk) 03:26, January 25, 2023 (EST)

Carry

Support

  1. (Nominator:) An interesting article about a core mechanic of the series. There are a lot of tasks still to do, but when those are done, this will be one of the best articles on the wiki. — Soprano(talk) 04:41, June 18, 2022 (EDT)

  1. (Nominator:) This is a great article about Pikmin lost media. I think making it a featured page would help the search for it a bit. Flamsey

Oppose

Comments

  • At the moment, it's not quite ready to be featured, as there's some information we've found that still hasn't been documented. Plus, it's probably not a good idea to feature an article that could change significantly during the time it's featured due to the discovery of new information. This article was also featured on Template:News a few months ago. I absolutely think this article should be featured eventually, but we should wait a while first. — Soprano(talk) 20:02, January 24, 2023 (EST)

Pikmin Park

Support

  1. (Nominator:) This is a major area in Hey! Pikmin, one of the more overlooked games. If this article could be featured, people could actually start to immerse themselves with the forgotten world of Hey! Pikmin. Pikmin park has multiple areas with different obstacles. It could be an interesting topic to cover. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by I Like White Pikmin • (talk) • (contribs)
  2. I agree, but before we can feature this article, a lot of research needs to be done to complete it, and this will take a lot of time and effort. — Soprano(talk) 17:17, October 27, 2023 (EDT)

Ice Pikmin

Support

  1. (Nominator:) The Ice Pikmin page stands to be our first Pikmin 4 candidate.
