Nomination limit requirement
edit@FLC director and delegates: – I was just curious why don't we have a limit requirement for number of nominations at any given time? I see that Wretchskull has nominated 5 lists for removal—Darwin Medal, Royal Medal, Gabor Medal, Rumford Medal, and Sylvester Medal—all of which are Medals of the Royal Society. These nominations are very correctly made; the lists indeed are problematic. But, the latter four nominations were made within span of 24 hours. I had expressed my interest in fixing up the issues of Darwin Medal, and have made quite a few changes. I do intend to fix these other lists as well, but am not sure if I would be able to do so within a reasonable period of time, given that they all are nominated together.
WP:FAR has a limit for nominations of each user by week. Should be have a similar approach? The Featured list removal candidates page is much less active than that WP:FAR. I propose the following requirement:
- Nominator and other relevant Wiki Projects should be notified at-least one week before the nomination is made,
- No more than one nomination per editor per week, and
- No more than three nominations here by the same user at any given times, except if permission taken from the FLC director or a FLC delegate.
This is just a rough draft, feel free to comment/suggest further requirements. Thanks!
Potential list that doesn't meet criteria
editI randomly came across List of Texas Tech Red Raiders head football coaches, and noticed that it was a Featured List article. I don't have any pertinent experience with Featured Lists, but just from an intuitive level, it doesn't seem to be anywhere near what I would expect in terms of quality compared to other lists I've read. Would someone with more experience be able to take a look? Yitz (talk) 16:35, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- That list was promoted 12 year ago. Yes, it has uncited text in the lead and (maybe) in the table as well. But apart that, there aren't much issues. The references at a glace look fine. The initial nominator has left Wikipedia. Would you or anyone else like to fix these issues. It is salvageable, but needs work. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:45, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
I think List of Golden Martín Fierro Award winners needs looking at as a potential candidate for delisting.
FRLC request: 30 Rock season 2
editPer the end result of Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/30 Rock season 1/archive1. I assumed the nominator in that discussion would nominate seasons 2-4 as well, but they never did so. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 13:25, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and nominated them. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 01:41, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
Bot alert
editWikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/List of English words containing Q not followed by U/archive2 seems to be nominated, but is not on the nominations page. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 01:37, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you! --PresN 11:37, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
Inconsistent featured list ratings
editWikipedia:WikiProject Lists has opted out of PIQA, so that project is responsible for their own assessments. Therefore, neither the FACBot nor the CewBot update their assessments. (see Template talk:WikiProject banner shell#Inconsistent list ratings) When a featured list is delisted, the FACBot sets |class=List in the banner shell . However, if WikiProject Lists has set |class=FL this will not be touched and the article will remain a featured list. Recently, I manually removed a couple but maybe I should not have. () Should the FL rating be retained, as is currently the case, or should the FACBot remove it? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:55, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
- FAC bot should remove it because lists are only removed after thorough review at WP:FARC. Wikiproject Lists does not do a review that is separate from FARC to ensure that it meets FL, so it should be removed so not to mislead readers or editors.

- I think the bot should remove it, or change it to class=List. --PresN 13:11, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
- Of course it should be removed. Regardless if the project opt out of PIQA, it doesn't get to set GA, FA, FL, etc. as those have proper processes for that. Gonnym (talk) 09:05, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
Delisting a Featured list ahead of a planned split
editHi Giants2008 and PresN. Myself and a group of editors are planning to do a full split of List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series to two, new articles, with List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series become a disambiguation page afterwards. (See this discussion for the planned split proposal.) Because the list as is will become a dab page, it obviously won't meet the criteria to retain the FL status. I am reaching out to see the steps regarding delisting/removal of the FL status so we can begin making the splits. Is this something you can just do? Should we create a formal removal nomination now? Or can the splits happen and then a formal removal nomination? I just want to make sure I'm going about it all correctly. Thank so much for the help and insight. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:43, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- @Favre1fan93: No need for anything to be done prior to the split. No need for a formal nomination either, I don't think, this happens fairly rarely and we just make a decision as coords. Usually when a list is split, the star remains with at least part of the resulting set of lists. It's a unique process each time, based on how long it's been, how much the list has changed, and what the split is like. In this case, the promotion was in 2016, so when last reviewed it included the Marvel Television series released up till then. There's been a lot of stuff released since then, but it's basically a few more years of MT releases, and then a big chunk of Marvel Studios releases which are being calved off. if we're to say that the list today is still featured, then I would say that, regardless of the actual article titles, post-split the Marvel Television series list should be considered the inheritor of this list and it's featured star, while the Marvel Studios list, being primarily composed of material that has never been reviewed at FLC, should not. Or to look at it another way- you're moving this list to the MT title, splitting off the MS stuff into a new list, and creating a new dab page that just happens to be at the title the list currently resides at. --PresN 00:07, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks so much for the info. I had thought possibly moving the article first to the new MT title and then splitting, but wasn't sure if that was the right move. Good to know that seems like it is! I'll definitely do that. After the move and split, would Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series/archive1 and Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series/archive2 need to be moved to reflect the new MT title? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:07, 9 April 2026 (UTC)
- I boldly went ahead and moved the pages and adjusted links within the review. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:16, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
- For future reference, you don't need to move nominations, but it doesn't hurt anything I don't think. --PresN 16:23, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
