		+	::::::But [[Crimes Committed by Strong Bad]], [[Marzipan and Coach Z's Relationship]], and [[Bubs's Shady Business Practices]] have incomplete templates on them, and they got featured. Either way, this article not only has a long enough intro, but starts with not one, but ''two'' quotes. So I support it too. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 13:58, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
		+	:::::::Those pages are somewhat more clear-cut than this one is though. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:16, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
		+	::::::::Here's why I think this article should not be featured: although all four articles have an "Incomplete Notice" that doesn't paint the full picture. The three articles listed above ([[Crimes Committed by Strong Bad]], [[Marzipan and Coach Z's Relationship]], and [[Bubs's Shady Business Practices]]) can be considered to be fairly objective lists. We actually can get authoritative sources (such as the laws of various states and the federal district for "crimes" and "shady business", and toon transcripts for the "relationship" article where Marzipan and Coach Z appear and interact) that make it clear what goes in each article leaving only a small amout of room for disagreements. If we wanted to, the HRWiki community could ensure that all toons have been covered and remove the tags. We haven't because this is a laborious process. While we believe we've probably caught most, if not all, instances of the topic in question in each article, we can't know with 100% certainty that we've covered everything. So to be safe that "incomplete" tag is there until we can know for sure (see [[Talk:The_Geddup_Noise#Gettup_Noise_Approved\|the geddup noise talk page]]).
		+	::::::::On the other hand, the "inconsistencies" article is reasonably more subjective, there is no clear guide that defines what goes in the article (except perhaps {{pl\|l=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/inconsistency webster's dictionary}}), and what's worse, even if there were an objective meter we'd have to check every action in every toon against ''all other actions in all other toons and material'' if we even want to consider this list to be complete! Like Heim said, "Featured articles should be examples of the fine work of the wiki" and it's hard to place "inconsistencies" in that category. While the article covers an interesting topic, the subjective and loosely defined nature of this work makes it somewhat speculative and even presumes that [[The Brothers Chaps]] are omniscient beings. --[[User:Stux\|Stux]] 15:42, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
		+	:::::::::Thanks for the lengthy response. But I would just like to point out that no-one except myself has addressed the well-written intro, which I think should be the major factor here. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 23:53, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
		+	::::::::::I'll address it. It's not a factor when weighed against all the other objections raised. It's got a great intro, and I personally happen to really like that page, but when compared to the other great lists on the wiki such as [[Bubs's Shady Business Practices]], [[Crimes Committed by Strong Bad]], and [[Coach Z's Problems]], it just doesn't doesn't live up. Aside from those other pages being itemized, organized, and categorized, the most important thing, even if the inconsistencies page were all those things, is the inherent inability to maintain reasonable objectivity when it comes to what counts. I'd go even further as to say that it's a bad example because TBC don't really try to maintain much consistency when it comes to most of the things that get put on that page. Locations of landmarks, ages and life status of characters, even some of their knowledge. Other things on that list are questionable, such as "Strong Sad tells Strong Bad he never heard of Limozeen, but they watched Limozeen: "but they're in space!" together in best thing." are just kind of like "okay, so if i watched some weird show i didn't care about once with my brother who hates me, i also wouldn't necessarily remember the name of the show or the characters." Yes, the intro is very well-worded and contains one quote from Matt and another from Strong Sad, but the list itself, which is the main information set being documented by the article, is not up to par. Remember, "featured '''articles'''" are not "featured intros", and having a good intro to a list is just not enough. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:14, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

		+	:Yes! {{User:Power Pie/sig}} 23:51, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
		+	::True, but it'd be like featuring "paper" on a wiki about a book series. Sure the books are all made out of it, but is it REALLY all that important? Now, if paper played a major role in the universe of the book series, or, returning from the analogy, if flash featured prominently in-universe, that might be a different story. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:04, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

== Discussions of Articles Needing Expansion ==
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, per consensus, require further expansion of the article itself before the article should be featured.''

===[[The Cheat's Gold Tooth]]===
How about featuring TC's tricked-out grill. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.13.68|132.183.13.68]] 18:12, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

:Maybe. It's not that significant but it's long enough. {{User:Wasd98/sig}} 01:28, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
::Unfortunately, I think this is one of those articles that should be expanded a little before featuring. (Alternatively, if a writeup is made that expands on the topic, it can also be placed in the queue that way). --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:23, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

===[[Coach Z's Locker Room]]===
Another important place. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 05:26, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
:Sure, it's important not only in the toons but in SBCG4AP too. [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 3 February 2011
::Yeah, but look at previous place articles we have featured. They're all a lot more fleshed out. I think, as the article stands right now, it is not worthy of a feature. It's significant enough to the universe that it could merit a feature if somebody gives it some TLC. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 08:06, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, you are probably right. The article has three paragraphs and most of the article is its appearances. It would need expansion before being featured. [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 21 February 2011
::::I agree. With its appearances in SBCG4AP it's a pretty significant place, but the article needs some expansion before being featured. --[[Special:Contributions/93.207.86.183|93.207.86.183]] 10:56, 6 March 2011 (UTC) (That Anonny Guy)

===[[The Field]]===
Exactly one year after proposing [[The Field]], I would like to propose it again. It is an important place which appears in about half the toons on the site. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 05:21, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
:I don't think it's ready because of the short intro. If you could expand it, maybe then we could do so. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:58, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

===[[Not the 100th Email]]===
:''Original title: [[Not the 100th Email]], [[Sbemail 150?!?]], or [[Page Load Error]]''
As teasers to milestone e-mails, I believe that one of them should be featured. [[Special:Contributions/124.181.68.22|124.181.68.22]] 13:17, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:I'd say Not the 100th Email. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 07:20, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
::Start with the first one, makes sense. Although it is very short. --[[Special:Contributions/93.207.87.212|93.207.87.212]] 08:32, 11 October 2010 (UTC) (That Anonny Guy)
:::Anon makes a good point. Not the 100th Email is rather short. Would we be able to expand that enough to make a quality write-up? {{User:DENNIS/sig}} 08:40, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

===[[Games]]===
Nearly a year after proposing these, I'm still extremely surprised that none of them have been featured; they're among the more important articles. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 13:26, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
:Wait, this has never been featured? Wow. Maybe we should do one of these for the week of January 1st? [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 14 November 2010
::The reason they haven't been featured is that none except maybe [[Games]] has a long enough intro to be featured. Even [[Games]] really ought to be expanded before featuring. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 15:10, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:::I agree with Heim. Also, these should probably be split into different conversations. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 08:06, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

==Stalled Discussions==
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, due to lack of consensus or consensus against, are not ready to be featured at this time. ''

===[[Because, It's Midnite]]===
It's a cool & major song. {{User:Power Pie/sig}} 15:06, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
:Um...... most of the page is lyrics. As much as people love the song (me included), I don't think it can be featured in it's current state. [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] September 7, 2010
::I would have to agree. We would need some actual content to put on the homepage. The point of the Featured Article section is to showcase an article that the wiki can be proud of, and I'm not sure we can be proud of a page of lyrics and trivia. {{User:DENNIS/sig}} 21:49, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
:::I see your point & I recant that suggestion. {{User:Power Pie/sig}}

===[[Fonts]]===
It's the biggest page on this wiki - I think it deserves to be featured sometime soon. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 10:41, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
:It seems too list-like and without enough prose to make a good feature to me. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:05, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
::Per Heimstern. Although we wre able to feature lists in the past by putting key examples in the writeup, I highly doubt that will work for the fonts page. {{User:Power Pie/sig}} 01:45, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
:::I'd say it's feature-worthy, and I could probably write a good FA paragraph on it, but it is really just one big list, albeit a long, useful one. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 06:01, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

===[[homestarrunner.com]]===
How about starting off the new year with [[homestarrunner.com]], an article that has been nominated many times before? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 05:18, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
:Okie Dokie, artichoke! {{User:Power Pie/sig}}
::Uh, I disagree. This seems like a last resort kind of selection. We have plenty of articles. I think we can pick something else. --{{User:Record307/sig}} 22:38, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Maybe [[Toons]], [[Games]], or [[Characters]] for New Years? [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 14 November 2010

=== [[Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner universe]] ===
An interesting topic. TBC stated that it doesn't bother them, so it it would be ok to feature. --[[Special:Contributions/93.207.85.97|93.207.85.97]] 13:16, 30 December 2010 (UTC) (That Anonny Guy)
:Featuring an article that has an incomplete template on it? I think not. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 08:06, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
::The thing is that this article will likely never be fully completed, considering that some of the inconsistencies at times can be very small. I completely support this article. [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 10 February 2011
:::I support to! {{User:Power Pie/sig}} 02:09, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
::::Oh, I didn't notice the Incomplete Notice when I suggested it. I see how that would normally keep an article from being featured. But like doctorwho said, this is an article that will probably never be considered complete and I think it can be featured in the current state. I would however accept it if it is decided against it. --[[Special:Contributions/93.207.86.183|93.207.86.183]] 10:56, 6 March 2011 (UTC) (That Anonny Guy)
:::::I'm with SMB. Featured articles should be examples of the fine work of the wiki. If it's incomplete, it's not really a good specimen of our work. And to those who say it'll never complete, I say that if so, it'll never be suitable for featuring. And some articles never are. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:28, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

===[[Sightings]]===
The Sightings subpages are heavily edited, so how about featuring either Sightings or one of the subpages? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 22:40, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
:There's no real introduction on any of the pages beside the first and there isn't a lot to speak of, anyway. We can't really expand it, either. [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 3 February 2011
::Aside from that, the sightings pages are some of the WORST pages on the wiki. FA is supposed to be our best stuff. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:18, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
:::The Sightings pages are confused about what deserves to be on them. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 08:06, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
::::I don't like the sightings pages because they are too inclusive (a discussion for another page, I know). If there were some minimum threshold of notability for a particular sighting to be listed, then that would be a different story, but in their current form I don't think the sightings pages should ever be featured. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:02, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

===[[Strong Bad Smiling]]===
One of the most well-known recurring themes on the site. [[Special:Contributions/124.180.171.96|124.180.171.96]] 01:42, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
:A dangerous topic to touch upon... ;-) --[[Special:Contributions/93.207.87.212|93.207.87.212]] 08:35, 11 October 2010 (UTC) (That Anonny Guy)
::The article is listed as needing cleanup and revision. I doubt we'd be able to feature it in its current state. {{User:DENNIS/sig}} 08:45, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
:::As the second anonny points out, this article has a been a serious point of contention on-wiki. I'm not sure we should feature on article that a number of users think shouldn't even be an article. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

===[[Characters]]===
Nearly a year after proposing these, I'm still extremely surprised that none of them have been featured; they're among the more important articles. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 13:26, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
:Wait, this has never been featured? Wow. Maybe we should do one of these for the week of January 1st? [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 14 November 2010
::The reason they haven't been featured is that none except maybe [[Games]] has a long enough intro to be featured. Even [[Games]] really ought to be expanded before featuring. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 15:10, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

===[[Pom Pilot]]===
An interesting article, since it is one of the minor computers that Strong Bad has used. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 02:22, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
:It seems very short and rather insignificant to me. --[[Special:Contributions/93.207.86.183|93.207.86.183]] 10:56, 6 March 2011 (UTC) (That Anonny Guy)
::I agree primarily with the concern about the article being too short. I don't think it's a good choice to feature. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:35, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
:::I agree. Even with major expansion, I don't think the article can be featured. [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 22 March 2011
