Support as nominator – --- Coffeeandcrumbs 20:19, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support having this as featured content. But listings here are explicitly for featured pictures. There appears to be no other more general featured content process, and a former featured sound project was discontinued in 2011. Is this the right way to reinstate sounds as featured content? —David Eppstein (talk) 20:32, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I guess, in a way, I am advocating a merger/expansion of scope. Perhaps a change, to Wikipedia:Featured media and "Today's featured media". This may require an RfC since there are implications on the Main Page. I was testing the waters. IMO, it is not a large leap. We already feature videos, films, why not music, sound? --- Coffeeandcrumbs 07:55, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'd say revive Wikipedia:Featured sounds, but list all media nominations on the same page. Sounds are assessed in a different way than pictures. MER-C 11:13, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I partially agree with MER-C, but the nominations shouldn't be listed on the same page. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 15:01, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - I assumed that WP:FS died because of low participation. Wouldn't a separate nomination page doom any revival to the same fate? --- Coffeeandcrumbs 15:14, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      - That's what just happened on Commons, I think. If we were to credibly revive featured sounds, we need to solve the participation in nominations problem somehow. MER-C 17:12, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        I like the idea of featured sounds. It would be nice to vote for them on this page if feasible. Bammesk (talk) 04:49, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Coffeeandcrumbs and others that it would best to hold FS noms here. We already do videos, animations, etc. Geoffroi 21:30, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That’s because videos and animations have a visual element, which audio files lack. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 04:55, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Featured videos usually have to have high audio quality, but that's probably just splitting hairs... Geoffroi 22:30, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, ineligible. I am not in principle opposed to bringing sounds into this process, but I thijnk we need to have a discussion about changing the policies/prodcedures. We can't just start nominating them here. Josh Milburn (talk) 13:18, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support as featured media. It appears that we do have media that went to FPC in the past. Taewangkorea (talk) 22:40, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Movies are within scope because they are moving pictures (it's in the name). MER-C 18:09, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - We don't have the voters for a separate nom page, so if they're not listed here they'll be invisible and neglected. Geoffroi 01:36, 21 November 2019 (UTC
    - It doesn't really matter, because Featured sounds is inactive, and these can't be promoted as featured pictures (as they are not mentioned in the featured picture criteria, while videos are). Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 08:00, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      - I wouldn't go so far as to say it doesn't matter. It's a loss to Wikipedia to let these sound nominations descend into the void and be forgotten and neglected. Geoffroi 17:53, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not promoted --Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 21:23, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
