Christ Illusion	Eyes of the Insane - Jihad (song)

I'm nominating this album topic to follow in the footsteps of Love. Angel. Music. Baby, the first album topic to become featured. The group is Californian metal band Slayer, and all the articles within the topic are FAs. While some may wonder at the modest amount of articles in the topic, Slayer aren't as notable as Gwen Stefani in terms of their commercial success and don't release as many singles as she does. Apart from the two songs already FA'd, none of the others have articles or warrant an article since they fail notability - other than being just album tracks, there's nothing else that makes them warrant an article. Most of the information as regards these album tracks that are without articles is already covered under the "Lyrical themes" section of the main article, and I feel there's no need to rehash info and create a few 2 / 3 sentence stubs. This is why I feel it meets the FT criteria, and hope you believe so. Thanks in advance, and I hope the articles prove interesting to read. LuciferMorgan 00:20, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~ Support - What is the likelihood of any more singles being released from the article? If it's still considered "current" enough for another to be released then I think it could run in to problems, as it would take a while to bring another one up to FA class from it's article creation, and thus inclusion in the topic, date; which may prompt some to complain that the article isn't sufficient for the topic to be of Featured class. Admittedly this is somewhat brought on from the page at Cult (song) where one or two users created a page on it, but I'm not a fan and have absolutely no clue about the likelihood of their belief that this song is to be released as a single coming true.

With regards to your comments on the possible "lack" of articles in this topic, there really cannot be any complaints with regards to it simply having three articles: criteria 3 states that three is the minimum, which this fulfils; and as you say, the song stubs that could/would be created would fail WP:MUSIC.

About the articles, I have no problem supporting, providing my first sentence is addressed here. I noticed there was a rather heated debate on the Eyes of the Insane nomination, but I feel that these objections were adequately addressed and personally have no problems with the contents of the articles in question.

The likelihood of more singles being released from the album is rather minimal since heavy metal bands only tend to release one single, or no single at all. If one did come out, it's most likely to be "Jihad" since guitarist Kerry King has stated in numerous interviews that's his fave song from the album. The user who created "Cult" also created a batch of other Slayer articles which fail WP:MUSIC, all of which were made into redirects. If a single got released, it won't be "Cult" since that was on the EP "Eternal Pyre".

It's now been nearly a year since the album came out, so it's doubtful another single will get released. If in the unlikely event another single got released, I could get that up to GA rather quick - it'd take me a few days if I really got stuck into it, as the majority of both "Eyes of the Insane" and "Jihad" was done in a few days. I promise that I'd GA any songs that were ever released as singles from the album (though I doubt if they will be). LuciferMorgan 16:03, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick response, changed my vote to support. Good luck! AllynJ 16:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support, and I hope your wish of good luck carries me through this nomination! LuciferMorgan 16:20, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Three featured articles, fits the criteria; no-brainer here. MarcK 19:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support, and I'm glad you feel it fits the criteria. LuciferMorgan 19:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support looks like a clear topic, all FAs. Maybe get Eternal Pyre to GA and make a later expansion nom? Circeus 17:49, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support. "Eternal Pyre" being expanded and GA'd is certainly possible, and one that I have entertained - I'll 99% probably do this, and revolve it around the song "Cult". Whether it would be feasible to include though I'm not sure, as it's spoken about as if independent of the album. Other than the fact it previewed "Cult" to the world, the connection is tenuous in some respects. Apparently the criteria asks for the connection to be clear cut, so I'm unsure whether it would be possible for inclusion - I don't think so personally. LuciferMorgan 22:01, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Nice work. Quadzilla99 14:51, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support, looks good. -- Phoenix2 ^(holla) 20:05, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Three is a small topic, but it's whole and complete, and especially with all FA's it's hard to find any fault here. --PresN 00:41, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the supports guys, it's very much appreciated, especially since it took a good while for me to get them all to GA and then to FA. LuciferMorgan 10:30, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, I remember reading the FAC of Jihad (song). -- Phoenix2 ^(holla) 21:47, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Three deserving FAs, no gaps. This makes for a great featured topic. Jay32183 19:08, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above. — Deckill er 16:52, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the support guys, it's real welcomed. LuciferMorgan 17:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
