Apollo program edit
Apollo was the third human spaceflight program of the United States carried out by NASA, which succeeded in landing the first humans on the Moon from 1969 to 1972. Apollo conducted nine spaceflights to the Moon, six of which were Moon landings. Apollo spurred advances in many areas of technology incidental to rocketry and human spaceflight.

This set of articles covers the entire topic about the Apollo program and all of them are either GA or FA. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 08:56, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose: Feature Topic criterion 1(d) requires that there be "no obvious gaps (missing or low-quality articles) in the topic. A topic must not cherry pick only the best articles to become featured together." Maybe I'm missing something, but surely this topic needs Apollo 7, Apollo 10, Apollo 12 and Apollo 14? Even then it would only be the crewed flights in the program; to actually cover the topic "Apollo Program" it seems to me we'd also need at least Apollo 4, Apollo 5 and Apollo 6, and maybe some others. A G/FT isn't just "the articles on this topic that happen to currently be GA or FA". -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 12:30, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose; Bryan is correct. The unmanned missions are missing, but there's even more than that; a lot of articles on the Apollo hardware, plus topics like Apollo abort modes, etc. Where do we draw the line? Isn't the navbox Template:Apollo program a good place to start? Looks like a lot of work to get these to at least GA. JustinTime55 (talk) 13:51, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose I have seen a dedicated community or editors who work on Apollo missions so I wouldn't be surprised if this nomination returned with the full set of missions. At the moment though, WP:Cherrypicking is not ok here. Aza24 (talk) 23:05, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
