Ready nominations

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

Awakening Wood

Support

  1. (Nominator:) Important subject, and doesn't have much left to complete. — {EspyoT} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)
  2. This article is completely ready to be featured, though given it's the last Pikmin 2 area article that hasn't been featured, it might be best to wait a while. — Soprano(talk) 01:14, May 30, 2021 (EDT)

Bingo Battle

Support

  1. (Nominator:) It's a juicy article, and has almost no pending tasks. — {EspyoT} 13:05, 1 December 2018 (EST)
  2. I agree with Espyo. It's also an important article. --Ben (talk) 01:07, 11 February 2019 (EST)
  3. I also agree. There are very few multiplayer aspects in the Pikmin Series, so this seems like a very good candidate. V64 (talk) 7:21 12 February 2019 (EST)
  4. Probably the best candidate for the next featured article. — Soprano(talk) 22:22, January 27, 2021 (EST)
  5. Agreed. Especially with the recent (well, not really anymore, is it?) release of 3 Deluxe. Supremekirbo (talk) 03:08, March 20, 2022 (EDT)

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)

Zest Bomb

Support

  1. (Nominator:) The best-written fruit article on the wiki. — 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)

Area selection menu

Support

  1. (Nominator:) The area selection menu is the most distinctive menu of the Pikmin series, and would be the best menu article to feature to show Pikipedia's coverage of menus. — Soprano(talk) 01:40, June 6, 2021 (EDT)

Nintendo 3DS

  1. (Nominator:) This article is a nice real-world article to feature, and features interesting information about all the diverse Pikmin things on the 3DS. — Soprano(talk) 01:40, June 6, 2021 (EDT)

Hint

  1. (Nominator:) This article is basically complete. It's pretty basic, but explains all that it can about this pretty interesting mechanic. — Soprano(talk) 03:43, August 22, 2021 (EDT)

  • Just noting that this probably shouldn't be featured until we get the hint images from the game files, and replace the temporary screenshots with those. (I forgot about that when nominating the article.) — Soprano(talk) 04:41, June 18, 2022 (EDT)

Breadbug

Support

  1. (Nominator:) Breadbugs are very popular enemies, and they have a great article about them too. — Soprano(talk) 00:15, October 7, 2021 (EDT)
  2. Huh, kinda weird that they weren't already. It's a good article, even outside of the Breadbug being a meme. — {EspyoT} 15:45, October 9, 2021 (EDT)

Musings of a Sidekick

Support

  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)

Expedition

Support

  1. (Nominator:) An interesting article about a Pikmin Bloom mechanic with a surprising amount of complexity. Once all the details have been worked out, this would be a great one to feature. — Soprano(talk) 23:59, December 20, 2021 (EST)

Formidable Oak

  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)

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)

Hocotate

Support

  1. (Nominator:) This article is packed with details, and has 42 different sources. It's one of the best documentations of the interesting details seen in Pikmin's various logs, and is overall thoroughly written. —   CrazyCow November 30th, 2020
  2. Agreed, but like the TODO says, we need more references first. — {EspyoT} 13:30, December 2, 2020 (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

  • 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

  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)
