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. -132.183.13.68 18:12, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
- Maybe. It's not that significant but it's long enough. Rondleman!
Stuff I did.Talk. 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). --Stux 21:23, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Coach Z's Locker Room
Another important place. RickTommy (edits) 05:26, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
- Sure, it's important not only in the toons but in SBCG4AP too. 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. --
Super Martyo boing! 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. 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. --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. RickTommy (edits) 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. Heimstern Läufer

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. 124.181.68.22 13:17, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
- I'd say Not the 100th Email. RickTommy (edits) 07:20, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- Start with the first one, makes sense. Although it is very short. --93.207.87.212 08:32, 11 October 2010 (UTC) (That Anonny Guy)
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. RickTommy (edits) 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? 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. Heimstern Läufer 15:10, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- I agree with Heim. Also, these should probably be split into different conversations. -- Super Martyo boing! 08:06, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

A Splode
One of the more infamous phrases on the site. RickTommy (edits) 06:23, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think this has enough content to feature. --Stux 14:00, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
The Virus
The Virus! The Virus! --
Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 14:46, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
- This article might need a bit more expansion before getting featured. doctorwho295 00:38, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hmmmmm...You are correctly correct...maybe. -- Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 01:19, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hmmmmm...You are correctly correct...maybe. --
Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship
An important relationship. RickTommy (edits) 03:19, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, But maybe there's not enough content on the page for a short FA. -- Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 01:19, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose until the article can be expanded. (That Other Anonny Guy) 101.160.57.137 22:47, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Because, It's Midnite
It's a cool & major song. Power
Pie 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. doctorwho295 September 7, 2010
Fonts
It's the biggest page on this wiki - I think it deserves to be featured sometime soon. RickTommy (edits) 10:41, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- It seems too list-like and without enough prose to make a good feature to me. Heimstern Läufer 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. Power
Pie 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. -- Super Martyo boing! 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? RickTommy (edits) 05:18, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- Okie Dokie, artichoke! PowerPie
- Uh, I disagree. This seems like a last resort kind of selection. We have plenty of articles. I think we can pick something else. --
Record307 Talk/Contribs 22:38, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- Maybe Toons, Games, or Characters for New Years? 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. --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. -- Super Martyo boing! 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. doctorwho295 10 February 2011
- I support to! PowerPie 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. --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. Heimstern Läufer 11:28, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Sightings
The Sightings subpages are heavily edited, so how about featuring either Sightings or one of the subpages? RickTommy (edits) 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. 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. — Defender1031*Talk 01:18, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
- The Sightings pages are confused about what deserves to be on them. -- Super Martyo boing! 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. — It's dot com 21:02, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Strong Bad Smiling
One of the most well-known recurring themes on the site. 124.180.171.96 01:42, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- A dangerous topic to touch upon... ;-) --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. DENNIS T/C 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. Heimstern Läufer 02:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Pom Pilot
An interesting article, since it is one of the minor computers that Strong Bad has used. RickTommy (edits) 02:22, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- It seems very short and rather insignificant to me. --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. Heimstern Läufer 11:35, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
- I agree. Even with major expansion, I don't think the article can be featured. doctorwho295 22 March 2011
