| #[[Salbecca]] - Only needs Trivia and DJB facts to qualify, in my opinion. -[[V'yr Vorsa]] 20:18, 11 February 2015 (EST) | | # Nominating [[Rasilvenaira StormRaven]]. It needs more links, images, and some general refinements, but it is very comprehensive and well put together. Some general fixes could easily push it into being featured. |
| ##Actually, as long as the page has enough categories with quality information, DJB Facts and Trivia are not necessary. Salbecca's article looks good. --[[User:Shadow Taldrya|Shadow Taldrya]] ([[User talk:Shadow Taldrya|talk]]) 22:10, 11 February 2015 (EST) | | # Nominating [[Sanguis Caldiren]]. It requires some general fixes such as more images but is close to being viable. |
| #[[Sith Bloodfyre]] Is an inspiring read, and holds a wealth of information and with a fully fleshed out history, a great appearance section and a particularly intriguing combat section. --[[User:Mordamen Bast|Mordamen Bast]] ([[User talk:Mordamen Bast|talk]]) 06:35, 1 July 2015 (EDT) | | # Nominating [[Ashura Isradia Sadow]] due to some significant fixes and general improvements. The only need for improvement is the lack of images and the presence of trivia sections. [[User:Tarvitz|Tarvitz]] ([[User talk:Tarvitz|talk]]) 19:31, 8 October 2025 (UTC) |
| ##'''Support''' - Great article, not sure why it has sat in nomination for so long but I'll certainly support it. -- [[User:Raiju|Raiju]] 11:12, September 01 2016 (EST) | | # Nominating [[Syrena Valkar]] for consideration. It's got a good amount of history and description and several high quality images created by DB members. It might need some formatting assistance though. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 16:50, 1 August 2025 (UTC) |
| ##'''Support''' - Also support this. Good article and has definitely been underappreciated for awhile considering some of the previous chosen articles. --[[User:Darkblade|Darkblade]] 03:28, November 15 2016 (EST) | | # Nominating ''[[Invicta]]'' as it's an older article, but it does an exceptional job of using image, detailing its history, and covering a lot of information without being bogged down in core details. [[User:Nikora Rhan|Nikora Rhan]] ([[User talk:Nikora Rhan|talk]]) 22:50, 10 July 2025 (UTC) |
| | ## CON: Some minor updates detailing the ship's final fate are required. |
| | # Nominating '''[[Lan]]''' as an article with good bones. Mostly it needs images, ideally some more current bits, and technically it shouldn't have a trivia section. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 13:48, 23 June 2025 (UTC) |
| | # Nominating '''[[Seasons]]''' due to its importance in upcoming DB events. It probably needs a check or two to ensure it's comprehensive and well written, and it should really have some sort of graphic. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 19:25, 21 January 2025 (UTC) |
| | # Nominating '''[[The Viper Fang]]''', with the only concern being its extremely short history and lack of eras. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 21:55, 7 August 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Added eras template [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 20:40, 8 August 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## A note to the above, originally this was being held off as the article did not cover its destruction. However, this has since been retconned by its own creator. [[User:Nikora Rhan|Nikora Rhan]] ([[User talk:Nikora Rhan|talk]]) 13:06, 20 July 2025 (UTC) |
| | # Nominating '''[[The "Flamboyant" Mercorn MKII]]''' due to the detail, good use of imagery, and deck plans, but with the problem of the member now having joined the Rogues and the absence of some minor information required, such as eras. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 21:55, 7 August 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Yeah, this one might linger on the list for a while. I don't mind giving a DSS to a rogue but he should serve out his probation first given the nature of his CoJ convication. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 20:40, 8 August 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Agron Dyrce]]''' has been coming along. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Needs images in the body to break up the text. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Could use some more linking further down. This might be a time thing, as in Agron just needs more time to develop character history and interactions. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | # Nora mentioned '''[[Selika Roh]]''' in chat--kind of surprised it wasn't featured in the past. It hasn't had a real update since 2020 but a little spring cleaning could get it there. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 17:57, 29 January 2024 (UTC) |
| | #'''[[Reiden Karr]]''' needs to be completed so it can be reconsidered for nomination again. [[User:Bentre Sadow|Bentre]] ([[User talk:Bentre Sadow|talk]]) 01:58, 23 March 2022 (UTC) |
| | ## CON: Section ''Darkness Elevated (34 ABY)'' needs completed |
| | ## CON: Section ''Collective Assault & A New Legacy (35 ABY)'' needs completed |
| | # '''[[Rian Taldrya]]''' at a glance might make the makings of a featured page. |
| | ## CON: Slight expansion of the childhood section would strengthen this page. |
| | ## CON: "Something about Rian having a hard time as teenager on a mandalorian military academy while being a half-breed." in the Teen Years section needs to be expanded/completed. |
| | ## CON: Rule of Tyranny needs expanded |
| | ## CON: tone and greater interlinking need addressed |
| | ## if the above are addressed or otherwise remedied the page can be considered for Feature. |
| | ## It's got good bones but it's pretty dated. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Iwu Koraha Mahue]]''' is well though out, highly detailed, and offers a wealth of images. It's a good example of how to flesh out a great deal and add it to a world while keeping it concise. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 21:47, 17 May 2023 (UTC) |
| | ## CON: Very dated, as the subject matter hasn't been relevant since early 2016. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Orian Frequency]]''' is very cool but needs images and a little love. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 16:12, 19 March 2024 (UTC) |
