Wikipedia:Former featured articles
|
Former featured articles This page lists articles that used to be featured articles, but were demoted because they do not meet current featured article criteria. Featured articles can only be demoted through a consensus derived through discussion at the Wikipedia:Featured article removal candidates page. The removal discussions for the former featured articles listed below can be found in the featured article removal candidates archive. Of course, the articles listed here do not have to stay here: be bold in updating and improving these pages, and help bring them back to featured article status. Of the 225 articles that have lost "featured" status, the 6 that have been re-promoted articles are listed below. |

Notes: Articles in bold are articles that have been featured on the Main Page. The Wikipedia Project Pages are anomalies – not actual articles, but pages that were considered "brilliant prose" and were subsequently listed as "featured" when the featured article process began. In the contents section above, categories in grey do not yet have a former featured article in them.
