| + | : {{c|Support}} Definitely agree. I've made some progress on making the RED and BLU pages more consistent with one another (and will continue to do so). If the RED page is Featured Article material, then it follows that the BLU one should be too, since they're basically identical. It also makes a lot of sense, since RED and BLU are some of the most fundamental hallmarks of TF2 - they should both be featured equally, especially since the game favours neither side.

Beyond the extensive descriptions, I don't see much that stands out to make it especially well linked, informative or referential compared to similarly complete cosmetic pages from the update such as the [[More Gun Marshal]] or the [[Cabinet Mann]]. I did notice that the images need to be redone according to the article itself, so I don't think it's really ready yet regardless.

The argument for merge is that the articles are redundant. A counter-argument is that that very redundancy is fundamental to the themes of the articles. If the two articles are intentionally so similar, and if the decision falls against the merge, then BLU should have at least a brief, if long overdue, stint as featured article if only to complete the intended symmetry.

Support it's about time we had a new featured article, and this one is exactly as good as RED. I know I just suggested Pyro, but that was before I noticed that this was actually a reasonably recent discussion. Kestrelguy (talk) 19:56, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- Support Definitely agree. I've made some progress on making the RED and BLU pages more consistent with one another (and will continue to do so). If the RED page is Featured Article material, then it follows that the BLU one should be too, since they're basically identical. It also makes a lot of sense, since RED and BLU are some of the most fundamental hallmarks of TF2 - they should both be featured equally, especially since the game favours neither side.

Mannpower
The new mode in development. It has a lot of great information on the mode, powerups, and others. Plus, we really need to change the Featured Article. It's been stuck on "Mann vs Machine" for so long. --Dr. Scaphandre (talk) 17:08, 23 June 2015 (PDT)

Scout
I think that it's time Scout was added to the featured articles rotation. Probably not a very contentious suggestion overall, but I'm just going to outline everything quickly so that we're properly following the guidelines here. I'd also be curious to see if there's anything in particular others wanted to pinpoint, before it is potentially accepted into the rotation.
Will outline some similar info to the most recent nomination (made for Pyro), since it's largely relevant here as well. Obviously the nine classes of TF2 are hugely important articles to this wiki, and should be some of our most forward-facing pages when users land on the Main page. There are only two classes not currently in the featured rotation - Scout and Demoman. With regards to the featured pages for other classes:
- The Scout article follows the same format and contains all the comprehensive information one would expect.
- It's well written, properly styled and very much a stable page.
- It has all the expected referential and informational media, which has been used in an appropriate manner.
- And finally, it's well-linked to various categories and pages around the wiki.
Let me know if there's anything within the article that could potentially be cleaned up or expanded, I'd be more than happy to add to the improvement effort if needed. Epsilonal (talk) 07:47, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- I believe the last nomination for Scout was in 2014 (which I found here in Archive 5. Don't know if it just flew under the radar, but I did see that the Featured article candidate template remains on its talk page. Not sure how long it has been there for, so I figured a discussion would be useful here. Epsilonal (talk) 07:51, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- It is time for the Scout to give him his time to shine. Moreover, indeed, the article is well written and comprehensible. Yossef • Talk 17:15, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Demoman
Nominating this page separately to Scout just in case opinions differ, but will largely be following the same line of reasoning.
Demoman is probably also overdue to be added to the featured articles rotation. Probably not a very contentious suggestion overall, but I'm just going to outline everything quickly so that we're properly following the guidelines here. I'd also be curious to see if there's anything in particular others wanted to pinpoint, before it is potentially accepted into the rotation.

There does exist a prior Featured article candidate template on the talk page. Was not able to determine how long ago this was added, but judging by the archives I'd say it's probably due for a discussion as well.

- Support I agree, after reading the article, I couldn't find any flaws in it. It is well written and structured. I believe that this article deserves being featured in the front page. Yossef • Talk 14:37, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- Support Good page.

Beaten and Bruised
- Very good
- Much images
- Text good
- Much wow
No, but seriously, this article is very well written, contains a lot of details about each class, and a bunch of images. Considering it is new, it's a very good article. Tiagoquix (talk) 12:49, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Oppose I definitely agree that it's surprisingly detailed for a new article - however I personally don't think it's really 'featured article' material. To me, it's just a standard cosmetic page that has a lot of styles for every class available. Beyond the extensive descriptions, I don't see much that stands out to make it especially well linked, informative or referential compared to similarly complete cosmetic pages from the update such as the More Gun Marshal or the Cabinet Mann. I did notice that the images need to be redone according to the article itself, so I don't think it's really ready yet regardless. Epsilonal (talk) 00:13, 13 December 2022 (UTC)- Oppose As said, it's well-done for a random cosmetic certainly, but not exactly front-page material. It's not oozing with interesting info that shows off what the wiki can do.-- Akolyth (talk) 22:06, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
Eureka Effect
The Eureka Effect is a very interesting weapon for the Engineer with a very useful caracteristic: the ability to teleport either to your base or your exit teleporter. Modifing, at least a little bit, the playstyle of the Engi and given the player more mobility and different ways to play with.
My reasons to nominate this article are the following:
- The article is well written
- Gives players useful information about the weapon
- The media used is very informative and is properly made, as expected
- Introduce the weapon to newer players
With nothing more to say, I would like to see this article featured on the front page since is a very well written article and the weapons itself is cool and interesting to use, even tho I don't play Engineer that much.
Hightower
Hightower is one of the most popular maps and may be the most popular Payload Race map. I say we nominate it, because we already have 2fort.
