Final Fantasy has a storied history at FTC- the original Final Fantasy titles topic was one of 5 topics tied as the second FTs ever in November 2006. Two supplementary nominations later, it was demoted in June 2008 when FT standards started to require that all articles be at least GAs (and the topic itself be internally consistent), and the topic couldn't measure up. And so it has sat for 7 years- little green pluses and bronze stars won and lost, but never getting its ducks in a row before new games came out to make the work longer. Until now!
Representing 9 years of work by 10 primary editors, the newly-renamed "Final Fantasy series" topic now includes every main numbered Final Fantasy game—one through fifteen—worked up to at least GA level, with enough stars to make it an FT. (The full, expanded Final Fantasy franchise includes nearly 100 games, and is way out of scope.) Many of the original editors have left us, but several editors, including ProtoDrake, Sjones23, and myself, have kept the articles alive since, and the older FAs have had successful FARs. The unreleased Final Fantasy XV has had a PR, and ProtoDrake has polished it to such a shine that when it is released sometime in 2016 it will be a GA shortly after. Thanks all for reviewing, and I hope we can see the pride of the old Final Fantasy WikiProject restored. --PresN 20:43, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I've always been very impressed by the quality of Final Fantasy articles on Wikipedia; I'm glad to see that this milestone has been reached. This is an incredible achievement, and all editors involved should be very proud of their work. Well done. – Rhain1999(talk to me) 23:28, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Czar: Either the series page or the list of video games works as the lead; if there's a strong preference I can change it, since the list is an FL. X-2 isn't included because none of the sequels are included, only the original main series games- no X-2, neither of the FF13 sequels, the FF4 remake or sequel, the FF5 animated sequel, the entire FF7 series expansion, the FF12 sequel, the FF14 remake... basically, even though sequels aren't spinoffs, and so would be another logical cutoff point, to add X-2 we'd need to add a lot of other articles, so instead I cut it off at just the main, numbered games. Sequels/remakes would go in subtopics, like they do in the FF12 and FF13 topics. --PresN 15:30, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Conditional support, but change the title to "Main games of the Final Fantasy series", and change the main article to "List of Final Fantasy video games". One of the main FT criteria is that they are linked by a template, and this would link them all together appropriately without cherry picking. I am curious, though, why Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is listed as part of the main series in the template, but that could just be an oversight. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:23, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Hurricanehink: Lead article changed, and I've changed the title to be "Main Final Fantasy series" so as to be more compact than your proposed version. The FF14:ARR inclusion was an oversight; there wasn't a "FF14" template variant to put it in (there is now). --PresN 03:41, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Great to see the topic return as a Featured Topic, fantastic work by User:PresN and others throughout the years. Onward and upward, further on and further in! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:06, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Incredible job to all those involved in putting this topic together. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 19:37, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that this topic meets the criteria because the album, all of it's singles, and one original composition are all good articles (five of which are recently promoted). The four singles plus "One Child" are all new, original compositions by Carey. I have not included covers on the track listing, primarily because those songs have been covered by a lot of people, some of which were carols or poems, and would only contain passing mentions of Carey's renditions. Furthermore, Carey made several into two-piece medleys, and so they are technically new songs and they do not need new a stand alone article as there wouldn't be info enough to warrant needlessly creating them just to bulk out the topic. -- — Calvin999 17:46, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I don't beleive that articles on songs that Carey merely covered in the album, which are not primarily or substantively about those covers, need to be included in this topic. Unlike the topic Nergaal linked, Carey's versions are not the most famous versions of the songs, which are themselves classics. --PresN 01:48, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. — Calvin999 09:05, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support, looks to check out. Agreed that the covers shouldn't be included. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:29, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. — Calvin999 16:31, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Nicely done~ Also agree that covers aren't necessary for this topic. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 19:47, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a comprehensive topic of all the National Trust properties in the county. The lead list is FL and all 37 articles are now GA. --— Rodtalk 19:23, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Rod, this is an impressive list. A couple of bits from me:
In the blurb above, "These range from sites of Iron and Bronze Age occupations" - should this be "occupation"?
Yep done.— Rodtalk 20:58, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The last sentence seems to have a verb missing.
Changed to includes...— Rodtalk 20:58, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not an expert on Featured Topic rules, and therefore very happy to be corrected (!), but the criteria page says that "At least one half (50%) of the items" must be "featured class (featured articles or featured lists), with a minimum of two featured items." I don't think this meets that criteria? Hchc2009 (talk) 19:32, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's why this is a nomination for Good Topic not Featured Topic. GT criteria are "All items are at least featured lists or good articles." This has one FL & all the rest are GA.— Rodtalk 20:58, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It comes up with "featured topic" at the top though...? Hchc2009 (talk) 21:06, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Director comment - It's always been like that. Just something to accept. GamerPro64 22:54, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK - happy with it at Good Topic level. Hchc2009 (talk) 16:55, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So that's a Support then? GamerPro64 04:35, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - good and complete. And yeah, for historical reasons, the GTC and FTC processes are on the same page, and neither is so busy that it is a pressing need to pull them apart. --PresN 19:21, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Topic appears complete and meets the criteria. This is quite an achievement. Great work. – Rhain1999(talk to me) 09:12, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
