  •   Support — Per above.— subtank 06:43, 26 May 2012 (EDT)
  •   Support — Per Subtank.--  KEEP IT CLEAN Comm Line Transmissions 22:04, 27 May 2012 (EDT)
  •   Support — Well I guess I can indulge in some ego stroking at least once in awhile. :) Though my only concern about a pre-release Featured Article status are the dips in quality that comes when the game launches. Typically, it takes a month or two before a game page mellows out after its released and I fear that such award, while entirely deserving at the moment, may not be up to our expectations come this fall.

  •   Support — I think that promoting this would help make more people interested in it and make more people edit it positivley: REACHSURVIVES
  •   Support — per spartacusWeeping Angel 20:13, 9 June 2012 (EDT)
  •   Support — Very well written\documented article with substantial information & sources. --Killamint Comm 15:14, 12 July 2012 (EDT)
  •   Oppose — Are you kidding me? This page is too unstable. You can't make a "current event" a features article. Because what's going to happen is too unpredictable. (or so it says in the sacred caves) Vegerot! 00:35, 17 August 2012 (EDT)!
  •   Oppose - Too soon. File:UNSC MIC.jpgCaptain MIC 14:51, 22 August 2012 (EDT)
  •   Oppose - Let's wait until after the game is released.--Spartacus (Talk | Contribs) 14:59, 22 August 2012 (EDT)
  •   Oppose — Right now its still a great article with minimal flaws to it, but there's still plenty of content that could be added to it and we should probably wait until December to mold it into an article worthy of Featured status. Grizzlei ♥ ツ
  •   Oppose - Vote against on grounds that a featured article should be one that has been extensively fact-checked and has all, or nearly all, of the information available on the subject. —This unsigned comment was made by Bruce2401 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Considering E3 2012 starts next week and its been confirmed that plenty of information about Campaign, War Games, and Spartan Ops will be released, I suggest that we hold off any vote until the page is normalized and the editing consistency calms down after new information editing and rewrites. Grizzlei ♥ ツ

True, and pages about recently released games tend to be bogged down by the story description for a month, sometimes several. Let's see how concisely the plot can be summarized first. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 14:13, 30 May 2012 (EDT)
If its best to wait, should we hold off this article and nominate another article for now, then bring this article back up in November-December? Instead of it saying Pending, have it say On Hold? --Killamint [Comm|Files] 16:53, 22 August 2012 (EDT)
Good idea. I'm presently looking through our articles to find one to nominate.--Spartacus (Talk | Contribs) 17:14, 22 August 2012 (EDT)

Well, since this nomination has hit a stalemate, does anyone have any objections to me closing/suspending this nomination?--Spartacus, Halopedia Administrator Talk 14:11, 8 September 2012 (EDT)

I have no objections per what I asked above. I say suspend the nomination.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 16:10, 8 September 2012 (EDT)

SPARTAN-II Program (closed)

Reason: This is one of the biggest aspects of the Halo universe. This article is properly sourced, well written, and meets all requirements. Why not promote it?--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 22:22, 8 October 2012 (EDT)

Votes

  •   Support - As the nominator.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 22:22, 8 October 2012 (EDT)
  •   Oppose - The writing is good and the paragraphs through, but the article needs more integrated pictures and the list of Spartan-IIs should have a scroll box added to it. It could also perhaps have these two sections added to it: one about the Spartans' abilites and combat prowess, and another about the perception of them across the UNSC and Covenant.

Glassing (Won)

Reason: Glassing is one of the aspects where the Halo universe takes a horrifyingly powerful turn. I feel on this article we've managed to fully explain that horror to every detail, as well as reconcile its various discrepancies that have shown up.

Thel 'Vadam (Won)

Reason: I believe this is well-written and very detailed. It meets all requirements and appears to be properly sourced. As it hasn't been made a featured article before, I strongly believe it's about time this article was made a featured article. --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 19:42, 19 December 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330

Votes

  •   Support - As per my statement above. --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 19:42, 19 December 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330
  •   Support - This page really has improved from the mess it used to be. A few more edits here and there it's got my support. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 20:04, 19 December 2012 (EST)
  •   Support - As per all above.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 20:09, 19 December 2012 (EST)
  •   Support - Because it does. —SPARTAN331 04:15, 20 December 2012 (EST)

Hey guys, this. —SPARTAN331 22:24, 19 December 2012 (EST)

Subtank cleared out the featured articles a while back, as most of them no longer fit the requirements. This one was among them.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 22:30, 19 December 2012 (EST)

We should have taken the Featured Article icon off their pages, then. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 22:39, 19 December 2012 (EST)

Well, it isn't closed, and it seems it didn't win then. And if it did, shouldn't it say so? And if it did, why isn't it in the Featured Articles category, under "T"? And if it wasn't won back then, therefore, why not now? Isn't it about time now? --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 00:16, 20 December 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330

What I meant is that we should move those votes into here as well. —SPARTAN331 01:48, 20 December 2012 (EST)

Those were for a different version of the article. This is an evaluation of the article now. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 03:32, 20 December 2012 (EST)

Fair enough. —SPARTAN331 04:15, 20 December 2012 (EST)

  Done --Spartacus Talk • Contribs 12:14, 11 January 2013 (EST)

Sadie's Story

Reason: Shows what you're fighting for, gives more info as to what's happening in mombasa, has cool effects on gameplay, and is just a cool story in general.

Votes

  •   Support For the reasons stated above. This is craZboy557, signing off. 13:36, 25 January 2013 (EST)
  •   Oppose - This article seems a little too short to be worthy of featured article status.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 14:34, 25 January 2013 (EST)
  •   Oppose - I too agree with Spartacus. Way too short. No offense, but, next suggestion please! --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 15:03, 25 January 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330

'sigh', fine. I just thought I might try nominating something since there's nothing else up. I assume that an article can't win twice, right? This is craZboy557, signing off. 15:11, 25 January 2013 (EST)

Catherine Halsey

Reason: Clear, detailed, lots of diverse information, good images, and does a pretty great job of explaining the kerfuffles that emerged from Glasslands.

Votes

  •   Support - Above. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 16:01, 25 January 2013 (EST)
  •   Support - Definitely good enough to be featured.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 16:10, 25 January 2013 (EST)
  •   Support - Seems good. Long enough, detailed. I accept that my previous nomination was too short. This is craZboy557, signing off. 16:35, 25 January 2013 (EST)
  •   Support - Great article and an important character.--File:PENGUIN4.gifFluffyEmoPenguin(ice quack!) 13:33, 26 January 2013 (EST)
  •   Support - No arguments here. Only that there is still information being added to it on an almost daily basis. But other than that, it gets my vote. --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 14:35, 26 January 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330
