MediEvil series edit
- Contributor(s): Jaguar
With the MediEvil series article promoted to GA, I can finally nominate this to become a Good Topic. This is my first ever GT nomination, so please let me know if I've made any mistakes. All instalments of the MediEvil series are now GA (well, it is a short series with only three games made in the space of seven years). There might be a future move discussion to move the first game to simply MediEvil, and the article on the series to MediEvil (series), but I'm in no hurry. --JAGUAR 13:26, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
- While I've never been involved with GTs and what not, I do know that a free image is needed along with the articles (like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion FT. Also, I do agree that the first game should be simply MediEvil and rename the series to MediEvil (series), but as you said, for another day. Famous Hobo (talk) 15:03, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
- An image for the topic is recommended, but it's not a requirement.--十八 22:06, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
- All the MediEvil images are non-free, so I don't think I can use a simplified logo or something similar to put in here. I noticed that the The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion FT just used an ordinary sword icon, so if anything, would it be appropriate if I put something like that in this topic? JAGUAR 14:43, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, a lot of the video game FTs use stylized symbols- swords, "FF" over a crystal, a book, etc. Maybe a skull? File:Skull Icon (Noun Project).svg, File:Process-killed.svg? Also, you need to create a book for the topic, see the other video game GT/FTs for examples. --PresN 18:59, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've added the latter image you suggested because it resembles the protagonist, and is relevant to the theme of the series. I've also created a book at Book:MediEvil series, using other VG GTs for inspiration. JAGUAR 20:22, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Support, once a book is added. --PresN 18:59, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Support - Looks good! It would be good to have any symbol, like a smiling skull since it seems like a funny or cartoony series. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 19:12, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- Support. Series is complete. Nice work! czar 00:40, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
Support - Very nice. Next step, FA for the articles and then FT. --JDC808 ♫ 16:54, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
1st Army Group (Yugoslavia) edit
This is a good topic nomination, consisting of all divisional and larger sized formations directly commanded by the 1st Army Group. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 01:18, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Comment. Ideally, the GT would be Royal Yugoslav Army, with these army articles all underneath (especially as 5th and 6th army likely won't get sub-topics), but that could be a later parent GT. I'm impressed with some of the other related Yugoslav articles in WWII (including the already-featured Axis order of battle for the invasion of Yugoslavia, Yugoslav order of battle prior to the invasion of Yugoslavia, and Hungarian occupation of Yugoslav territories, and good article Operation Retribution (1941)). I'm not sure if you're working on these Yugoslav articles - if you are, keep it up! But, for the purposes of this GT, I think it's defined enough. I question though, why shouldn't Milorad Petrović be included? He was the commander of the army group. I'm not familiar enough with military GT's though. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:46, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, they are all largely my work. It is not usual for a commander to be part of a formation/unit GT as far as I am aware. Regards, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:14, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- Support seems fine, and I encourage the nominator to expand this topic in the future with 2-6 armies too. Nergaal (talk) 23:30, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- Support, pending the creation of a book for the topic. --PresN 22:02, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
- Closed with a consensus to promote to Good Topic.--十八 22:28, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
Supplementary nominations edit
2007 Pacific hurricane season edit

- Contributor(s): Cyclonebiskit, TropicalAnalystwx13, 12george1, Hurricanehink, Juliancolton, Seddon, and Titoxd
Pretty straightforward nomination as usual from the WikiProject Tropical Cyclones crew. All notable storms are covered appropriately with sub-articles and are of GA or higher quality. There used to be a few more articles (Alvin, Erick, and Ivo), but a project-wide article purge took place a few years after this season when we established a more restrictive notability policy. Timeline articles are considered optional within the project–in essence, they are a content fork, but done in a specific manner that can be useful to readers such that they fall under WP:SPINOFF–if they exist we'll improve them to featured status for a topic nomination, but if they don't we'll leave it be. --~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 19:53, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
Support - Nothing we haven't see before. Do wish you guys could find a guideline on when to have a timeline vs. not, though. --PresN 01:49, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
