Merry Christmas II You edit

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)
- In the past, covers have been required to be part of the topics: Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Like a Virgin/archive1. Nergaal (talk) 17:11, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- 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)
- Thank you. — Calvin999 09:05, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
- Support, looks to check out. Agreed that the covers shouldn't be included. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:29, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

National Trust properties in Somerset edit
- Contributor(s): Rodw
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. --— Rod talk 19:23, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
- 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"?
- The last sentence seems to have a verb missing.
- 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)
- It comes up with "featured topic" at the top though...? Hchc2009 (talk) 21:06, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
- Director comment - It's always been like that. Just something to accept. GamerPro64 22:54, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

OK - happy with it at Good Topic level. Hchc2009 (talk) 16:55, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
- So that's a Support then? GamerPro64 04:35, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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)
- Support - that's impressive! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:21, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- Support - A lot of effort and time has been put in, and it is indeed impressive. A fine topic. Burklemore1 (talk) 17:20, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
