Since the Metroid series fulfills the current and future
required quantity of Featured material (Prime = my work, with some help by
User:Judgesurreal777; Prime 2 and List of media: both me and Gary King; Prime 3: mostly Gary King), the series article is a GA since 2007 and the rest of the games reached GA status this year, seems like it is a worthy addition to the Featured Topics. (if you ask why "titles" and not "series":
Samus Aran is still B-class)

"rest of the games reached GA status this year", as in all of them by mostly me in the past month? I should probably have made it more obvious that I was aiming for a full FT, which I'll remember for next time. I was planning to bring every article in the topic to FAC; I think that they are all FA-worthy already, but the process itself takes too long that by the time they are all FA, the topic would have been nominated at least a dozen times by the same people.

Comment Guys, can't you all just wait for the entire series to be a topic? I'm almost done with Samus's article; this topic has been nominated so many times already my head is spinning. Please, have some patience. Gary King (

Also, regarding
this on my talk page,
Samus Arancan't be added to this nomination in a supplementary nomination just yet, as another featured item would be needed in the topic in order to add another article. I don't get why we can't just come to FTC with all the articles ready in one shot, especially when the topic is so close. Gary King (

Conditional Support -- if List of Media is removed. Sorry, Gary King, but it seems your "baby" has been attacked too many times recently. You can still, however, continue to promote the articles to FA, you don't have to wait until they're all FAs to nominate. Lucky, that's 27% FAs. --

It has to be 33% FAs to be a featured topic.
No, just starting on April 1st. And there's no deadline.
Weak oppose. If only one more article is needed to make this a complete topic on the series, making a titles topic seems pointless - adding the final article will require another disussion and a retitle and refocus. If people want credit for FTs, they should be working on promoting more articles, nomninating without the prinicpal editor will just make people secretive. Do we want people doing all their work off wiki and nominating everything in one go to prevent premature nominations?

Comment - I, too, would be inclined to wait - what's the rush? Let the topic become complete first! Also I have concerns about the place of the media list in the topic -

Oppose Not sure how valid it is under the criteria, but given that only one more item (and the re-addition of List of M media) is needed to make the topic complete, and the fact that this wouldn't qualify for FT (27%) come 1 April (33%), I think we should wait.
