* 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)?

# 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.

# 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.

===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.

* 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.

* 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.

Ready nominations[edit]

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

Captain Olimar[edit]

Support[edit]

  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[edit]

Comments[edit]

  • 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[edit]

Support[edit]

  1. (Nominator:) A simple high-quality article on a unique enemy. — Soprano(talk) 04:39, May 16, 2021 (EDT)
  2. — {EspyoT} 15:09, May 17, 2021 (EDT)

Comments[edit]

Saved game selection menu[edit]

Support[edit]

  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[edit]

  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)

Comments[edit]

Bulblax Kingdom[edit]

Support[edit]

  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)
  2. — {EspyoT} 15:49, June 26, 2021 (EDT)

Musings of a Sidekick[edit]

Support[edit]

  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[edit]

  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[edit]

  • 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. Midnight blue (talk) 20:07, January 24, 2023 (EST)

Nectar[edit]

Support[edit]

  1. (Nominator:) A good article covering how an important mechanic works in different games. — Soprano(talk) 18:26, November 25, 2021 (EST)
  2. — {EspyoT} 13:21, November 26, 2021 (EST)
  3. A pretty iconic mechanic across all Pikmin games, even Pikmin Bloom! Midnight blue (talk) 20:10, January 24, 2023 (EST)
  4. A good written article, plus it appears in every game in the franchise. — {Kiwii(talk)} 06:23, May 28, 2024 (EDT)

Formidable Oak[edit]

Support[edit]

  1. (Nominator:) Important subject, but needs work. However, would presenting this on the front page count as a spoiler? This area is all about the final boss, after all. I'm a bit on the fence with this one. — {EspyoT} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Oppose[edit]

  • I think this would count as a spoiler. — Soprano(talk) 01:14, May 30, 2021 (EDT)

Yellow Pikmin[edit]

  1. (Nominator:) Very important subject, but has some pending tasks. — {EspyoT} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Nectar egg[edit]

Support[edit]

  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[edit]

Comments[edit]

  • 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)

Upgrade[edit]

Support[edit]

  1. (Nominator:) A thorough article with lots of information. — Soprano(talk) 04:39, May 16, 2021 (EDT)

Oppose[edit]

Comments[edit]

  • 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[edit]

Support[edit]

  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[edit]

Comments[edit]

  • 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[edit]

Support[edit]

  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[edit]

Support[edit]

  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[edit]

Comments[edit]

  • 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[edit]

Support[edit]

  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[edit]

Comments[edit]

  • 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[edit]

Support[edit]

  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[edit]

Support[edit]

  1. (Nominator:) The Ice Pikmin page stands to be our first Pikmin 4 candidate. While the article is on the short side, I believe it fulfills everything it sets out to do; it also meets most of the criteria for featuring, such as being an important subject and being virtually complete. --1337Walrus (talk) 02:31, November 18, 2023 (EST)

Support[edit]

  1. (Nominator:) This is one of the most complete and organized Bloom pages, and it also features information for Pikmin Adventure, both of which are spin-offs, which in my opinion means this would be interesting to have as the featured article. It should be featured later than sooner though, as a Bloom page was featured somewhat recently. — Odayaka (talk) 17:06, October 1, 2024 (EDT)
