Dream Days at the Hotel Existence

Main page	Articles
Dream Days at the Hotel Existence	"Lost and Running" - "I Don't Remember" - "Nobody Sees" - "Black Tears"

Main article is album. First 3 (L&R, IDR, NS) are singles released from the album, while Black Tears is a notable song (heavy press coverage, etc.). There is the possibility of another single being released, but it's not likely (IMO). Fully formatted version at User:Rm w a vu/Dream Days FT.

• Support. Per WP:WIAFT. Cirt (talk) 21:08, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
• Support It appears to meet all of the criteria. Zginder ^{(talk) (Contrib)} 13:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Neutral. I'm leaning towards oppose, as the only other album FT has all sub-articles FAed. Not sure if this should be uniform among future album FTs (i.e. this one), so I'm leaving this open to discussion. NSR77 ^T_C 23:33, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

• There isn't enough content available to FA the other articles, IMO. The criteria doesn't say how many FAs are needed for a group of 5, so I guess it's up to each of us to make up our own mind. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 00:33, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

• The criteria says that a topic of three needs two featured articles/lists and a topic of nine needs three, using logic it would seem that this would only need two. Zginder ^{(talk) (Contrib)} 02:41, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

• Support – Nice work, Dihydrogen Monoxide, rm 'w a vu and WP:FINGER. –thedemonhog talk • edits 02:55, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
• Support - Meets the criteria as far as I can see. Does this topic have a picture in mind? Judgesurreal777 (talk) 13:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
  • It'd be great it we could, but I don't know what picture we could use that would be fair use that would appropriately suit the FT. Any suggestions would be happily welcomed, though. --rm 'w avu 08:51, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
    • My preference would be Image:Powderfinger performing September 2007 (c).jpg, a performance of I Don't Remember. That said, I don't really mind... dihydrogen monoxide (H₂0) 09:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
• Support - I created the FT, but wasn't sure if it was quite ready. I do now, though, having thought it through and re-reviewing each article for its merits, and compounding that, each article in the topic is at least GA, and we meet the at least 2 rule. If this topic reaches 9 articles, then I'd be careful to ensure that we at least have a third FA. From what we have here, Lost and Running, Nobody Sees and Black Tears are all potentially able to be promoted to FA, but none needs to to meet FT criteria. --rm 'w avu 08:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Articles

The Simpsons (season 9)

The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson The Principal and the Pauper Lisa's Sax Treehouse of Horror VIII The Cartridge Family Bart Star The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons Lisa the Skeptic Realty Bites Miracle on Evergreen Terrace All Singing, All Dancing Bart Carny The Joy of Sect Das Bus The Last Temptation of Krust Dumbbell Indemnity Lisa the Simpson This Little Wiggy Simpson Tide The Trouble with Trillions Girly Edition Trash of the Titans King of the Hill Lost Our Lisa Natural Born Kissers

Every episode article (except one) from this season is of GA status or higher. The Joy of Sect and Lisa the Skeptic are both FAs, The Simpsons (season 9) is an FL and every other page is a GA, with the exception of The Principal and the Pauper, which is currently a GAC. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 23:33, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Co-nominators: Xihix, Gran2, Cirt and Ctjf83

• Note: "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson" is a WP:GA already, might not be evident from the above symbol that although it is currently a Featured Article candidate, it already achieved GA status and had a Peer Review. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 01:10, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

• Support because it meets the criteria. Keep up the good work, WP:SIMPSONS, –thedemonhog talk • edits 05:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

• Conditional support, providing "City..." gets FA and "The Principle and the Pauper" gets GA. Will ^(talk) 20:00, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

• My weak mathematical skills are telling me you don't have enough FAs at the moment. Dihydrogen Monoxide (party) 06:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • The Simpsons (season 8) passed with 1 FL and 2 FAs, the exact same number as this one currently has. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • In the long run, there will (hopefully) be a couple other FAs in addition to the ongoing WP:FAC for The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson - including The Last Temptation of Krust, and The Principal and the Pauper. Granted that shouldn't be taken under consideration for this discussion, but I just thought it should be noted, that whether or not this topic passes, most likely in a few months in addition to the WP:FL, there will be a total of (5) WP:FAs. Cirt (talk) 06:15, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • It's at the low end of FAs, but for such a large topic 4 FAs and the rest GAs is fairly impressive. As per precedent, this should be acceptable. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 16:55, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
    • OK, I'm happy with that (I don't know much about precedent here). It would be nice to have more FAs, as per Cirt. Support. Dihydrogen Monoxide (party) 08:48, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• conditional support all current FAC/GACs would have to be successful. David Fuchs ^(talk) 15:01, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
• OpposeAbstaining A topic should not be nominated until it passes all of the required Good article and Featured Article processes. Zginder ^{(talk) (Contrib)} 02:42, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

The Simpsons (season 8) passed when there was still a GAC, I believe. xihix(talk) 00:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

For more info on the Season 8 discussion, see Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/The Simpsons (season 8). Cirt (talk) 18:50, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

For the record Season 8 only passed after all the articles were GA or higher. Zginder ^{(talk) (Contrib)} 19:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

And they all are for Season 9, save for The Principal and the Pauper, which is currently at WP:GAC and will (hopefully) be reviewed and listed as a GA soon. Cirt (talk) 19:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Could they have waited? Sure, but they're here now and "The Principal and the Pauper" will probably be promoted to GA. –thedemonhog talk • edits 02:48, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

To set the record straight, My Sister, My Sitter wasn't even a GAC when we nominated season 8, but it was promoted after a couple of weeks. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 03:08, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I am changing my vote to abstain, as I have no reason to oppose anymore, but dislike the conflict of interest, and similar things, I think might have been used. Zginder ^{(talk) (Contrib)} 18:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Just to clarify, I do not feel comfortable voting support for this, but I have no complaints to oppose. I do not have any accusation against anyone. Zginder ^{(talk) (Contrib)} 01:09, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
