Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Archived nominations/Index

Note: this page is updated infrequently. This is an index as of 9 October 2004. The most recently discussed articles are listed only on the main archive.

This is a record of articles that were nominated to become featured articles on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates, but didn't get featured due to unresolved objections by other users. Articles that were featured are listed on the featured log.

Please note that if an article is listed here, that doesn't mean that the article is no good. It simply means that the article is not feature-quality — yet.

It's generally acceptable to re-nominate articles that have improved. Just follow some basic guidelines:

1. Avoid re-nominating the same article repeatedly.
2. Please review the archived objections, and make sure all of the problems noted have been addressed.
3. Consider submitting the article to Wikipedia:Peer review first, to catch any new problems.

Previous nominations

If an article name is struck out, that indicates that it was re-nominated successfully. See the featured log.

Updating this page

First of all, don't update this page! Only update it if you don't have anything better to do. This page is not updated whenever single entries are pruned. That would be a form of instruction creep, which is very bad: it creates more work for maintainers who could be spending their time actually improving articles.

That being noted, if you still want to update this page:

1. Move the discussions from the main archive to the appropriate chronological archive(s).
2. List each article discussion here in alphabetical order.
3. Change the date in the lead section.
