Gryffindor Quidditch team (+1)

• Support: Per Deathly Hallows nomination comment. -- Hellabore^{(Deathly Hallows)}

• Oppose: The article is mainly just images and a list of team members, it contains very little infomation. Jayce Carver ^Talk 09:01, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

• Comment: I see, well can we stop this nomination? -- Hellabore^{(Deathly Hallows)}

• Support: The article has a lot of information for the ones who like sports and Harry Potter, the article shows the history of the team as such: a team in a league, it has all the necessary statistics and the data of each years' rosters and even jersey numbers. In fact this article has everything about the Gryffindor Quidditch team. No other site in the web is that specific, this is something only this wiki has: an article representing this wiki as the best Harry Potter information site. --Dadadaft 05:39, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Wizard's father (The Wizard and the Hopping Pot) (+3)

• Support: Per Deathly Hallows nomination comment. -- Hellabore^{(Deathly Hallows)}
• Oppose: We don't have nearly enough information on this person to write a featured article about them. Also a featured article needs to be nominated on it's own merits, not "per" the nomination of another. There is a world of diffrence between the Deathly Hallows article...and this one. Jayce ^{•Avada Kedavra•Crucio•Imperio•} 09:06, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
• Comment: How about ths: It is a well written article, plenty of quotes and infomation. Though not having as much infomation as a main character, it has ALL the infomation there is and is a great article for such a minor character. -- Hellabore^{(Deathly Hallows)}
• Support: Per Hellabore! -- Yasmine2
• Support:I agree with all the support!--Timbira^{(Luna Lovegood)} 01:59, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
• Comment: my sig appears to be causing havock, anyway. It doesn't matter that it has all the information, it's not enough. A featured article needs a full paragraph for the main page, this has a single line of text and no main image. Please check out some of Wookieepedia's featured articles before making anymore nominations. Jayce ^{•Avada Kedavra•Crucio•Imperio•} 10:10, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

• Comment: As seen here there is no need for a main image. I also have expanded the intro to a reasonable length. -- Hellabore^{(Deathly Hallows)}

• Comment: Also these are the following requirements to have an article featured:

1. Be well-written and detailed.
2. Be unbiased, non-point of view.
3. Be sourced with all available sources and appearances.
4. Follow the Layout Guide and all other policies on the Harry Potter Wiki. -- Does so.
5. Following the review process, be stable, i.e. it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars. This does not apply to vandalism and protection or semi-protection as a result of vandalism.
6. Not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc).
7. Have a proper lead that gives a good summary of the topic and can be used for the front page featured box.
8. Have significant information from all sources and appearances, especially a biography for character articles.
9. Be completely referenced for all available material and sources.
10. Have all quotes and images sourced.
11. Provide at least one quote on the article. A leading quote at the beginning of the article will be required only if there is quotable dialogue by or about the subject. Although quotes may be placed in the body of the article, a maximum of one quote is allowed at the beginning of each section.
12. Include a "personality and traits" section on all character articles.
13. Include a "magical skills and abilities" section on all relevant character articles, especially for Wizard characters where said powers and/or abilities are stipulated.
14. Include a reasonable number of images of sufficient quality to illustrate the article, if said images are available.

It has pretty much all of these things. You may argue that it should "include a reasonable number of images of sufficient quality to illustrate the article", but this is only if said images are available and I have been able to include images in the relashionships. It has both an personality and traits and magical skills and abilities sections. I have made it have an proper lead that gives a good summary of the topic and can be used for the front page featured box. It has an leading quote at the beginning of the article that is an quotable dialogue about the subject. It is also completely sourced and referenced as well as having many quotes in the body of the article. This is why I have nominated it because I think it is a great and detailed article. -- Hellabore^{(Deathly Hallows)}

• Support: Seems to be a fine article. As good as it could get. Quidditch Lover ^{(My talk)(contribs)} 21:36, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
