This page was nominated for deletion on June 17, 2016. The result of the discussion was withdrawn.

Miscellany for Deletion

On the off chance that anybody might still be reading this Talk page, I'm disclosing the fact that I just added an entry for an article that achieved GA status. However, the deletion discussion involving this article was not at Articles for Deletion, but at Miscellany for Deletion. Although the instructions mention only AfD's, I found nothing in the Talk pages here that gave any guidance as to whether an MfD discussion did or did not also confer eligibility for the Award. In this particular case, the draft could have been placed directly in Main space and, if it had, would likely have been nominated at AfD for the same substantive concerns given in the MfD nomination.

If anyone here feels that my adding this entry to the list is inappropriate, I'll be happy to discuss the matter further. NewYorkActuary (talk) 00:03, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Megatokyo

Megatokyo is no longer a FA. should I remove it from the list? L293D (☎ • ✎) 15:59, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As best I can tell, you're the first person to ever ask this question. I hope others will weigh in with their opinions but, to me, it's a question of whether the award is just for the initial effort involved in getting it to Featured Status, or whether it requires on-going maintenance of that status. Perhaps the cleanest general solution is to keep such articles on the list, but somehow indicate that they no longer have Featured (or Good) Article status.

But this might all be moot for the Megatokyo article. Its nomination for deletion was closed, two hours after being posted, as a "bad-faith nomination". The article was never at any real risk of being deleted and I think the entry should be removed for that reason alone. NewYorkActuary (talk) 17:13, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shelby Starner

Could someone add this article: Shelby Starner to the examples listed here? Danke! TJMSmith (talk) 19:38, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Haiti at the 1936 Summer Olympics

I helped this article get promoted to GA a month ago and just thought, might it qualify for listing here? It was not the subject of an AfD, but a discussion topic for its deletion/redirect was made at the Olympics project, which is where I saw it and why I worked to improve it.

Pokémon Species Articles

Scrolling through the list of candidates out of curiosity, I noticed several species of Pokémon that had been previously AfD'd and were either survived or recreated were not listed there. The ones I can find at a glance include Bulbasaur, Popplio, Brionne, and Primarina, Mimikyu, Lucario, and Klefki. Would these qualify for the Award given their prior deletion candidacy and current GA status? Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 14:21, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
