[edit] Seasons of Lost

Main page Articles
List of Lost episodes Lost (season 1) Lost (season 2) Lost (season 3) - Lost (season 4)

I tried to nominate the fourth season's page for good article status, but it was failed within a few minutes because it will not begin airing until February, however it is worth noting that the page has 79 citations. Thanks to the other editors of the Lost WikiProject, including Scorpion0422 who wrote and nominated the first season's page and Wikipedical who nominated the main page.

  • Support, with an attachment. As of this moment, I believe it is of featured topic status. However, parts are bound to change as more episodes are aired. So, I think this should get a preemptive requirement to maintain/improve the topic. For example, Season 4 would be required to be of FL status by January 1, 2009 (similar to how current FT's that do not meet the requirements are given until the beginning of 2008).

    • I think that we will be able to get season 4 to FL status by May. –thedemonhog talk • edits • box 03:56, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
      • If you'd want to push the date up, to like July 1, 2008 (half-way point in the year), that'd be cool. Hurricanehink (talk) 04:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I believe that season 4 is excuseable because it will never reach GA or FL status (at the moment) due to the instability of the page, and I do believe that certain pages can be excused for reasons like that. As well, for those who don't like the title, we are open to changing it. -- Scorpion0422 03:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Why doesn't this nomination include the main Lost page? I understand you are focusing on episodes, but I think you can certainly include the show in the topic about its episodes. Especially because it is of Featured quality. -- Wikipedical 04:42, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
    • The main Lost article seems like it would be better as the main page for a topic that would include the DVD and music articles. –thedemonhog talk • edits 04:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
      • An article can be in a featured topic and a main page of another featured topic also. Look at Final Fantasy VIII and Hurricane Isabel. -- Wikipedical 11:51, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
        • In the talks about the topics for artists and their albums, we decided that a topic does not have to contain a "higher level" article than the main article. This topic falls within existing rules as a topic of lists, and the main Lost article does not have to be included. If Lost became a main article of a topic, that topic would include List of Lost episodes, as well as articles about the characters, themes, etc. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 15:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Support - It can be a featured topic with the understanding that the 4th season can have a check mark until the season is complete, and then it has to be featured not long after. Judgesurreal777 18:31, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
    • What does a check mark mean? –thedemonhog talk • edits 21:58, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
      • There is a clause in criteria which says that "Items that cannot achieve a high rating due to their limited subject matter have passed an individual audit for quality." The checkmark means that the article has been reviewed and consensus has been reached that it is an acceptable short article. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 02:12, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Support My only problem was that the plot summaries were unreferenced but I've added episode citations. An excellently covered topic, congratulations on the articles.--Opark 77 12:16, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. Meets the FT guidelines. -- Wikipedical 00:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Support Why not? •97198 talk 06:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Support Its all good. Gran2 20:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Support great job. And after improving the DVD and music ones, add them along with the main Lost article. igordebraga ≠ 22:01, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Support per above, fantastic job! SergeantBolt 20:13, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
