This set of articles relating to York City F.C. has been worked on considerably over the period of the last year, and so I now nominate it for featured topic. I believe it satisfies the criteria at WP:FT and so I wait to see what everyone thinks! One article, Fulfordgate, has been audited for quality through a peer review, but failed a GA nomination. Nonetheless, I feel this doesn't harm its meeting of the set criteria. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 16:16, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Oppose Support - I am pretty sure that the check mark is for articles of a very limited scope or something that is relatively new, such as a new province not having had enough elections to be a featured list. The stadium article, however, was built at least 70 years ago, so I think it has to be brought up to GA status first. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 17:27, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Well, the stadium did only last for 10 years, so subject matter is only very small. And I don't really see how this makes it not pass the criteria given at Wikipedia:Featured topic criteria. Mattythewhite (talk) 17:49, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I do not think that Fulfordgate is needed for a complete topic as it is a former stadium. The article should not be in a featured topic as it is expandable (otherwise there would not be section stub tags). I will support if that is removed.

Agreed, it should be added later as a supplement, but is not crucial for this nomination, so bring it back when it's GA :) If you remove it, I'll support. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 19:38, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I've removed Fulfordgate from the topic. Hopefully it will get to GA eventually, so it shall return then. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 20:57, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Support - fantastic for a relatively small club like York City to receive this treatment. I've been privileged to work with other members of WP:FOOTBALL and Matty on helping get some of these articles promoted and it's great to see the topic here. Well done.

  • Support topic with removal of the old stadium. It could possibly be included in a supplementary nom in the future though. Fantastic work on these articles, I know what it is like and I agree with TRM's sentiments completely. Woody (talk) 16:17, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support - Very well done. Per TRM mostly. Rudget. 17:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support Fantastic collection of articles, a lot of work has gone into them, and they are worthy of featured topic status. NapHit (talk) 15:08, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
