Here we determine which articles are featured on Wikipedia:Featured articles. A featured article should exemplify Wikipedia's very best work. See what is a featured article for criteria.
If you nominate an article, you will be expected to make a good-faith effort to address objections that are raised. If you nominate something you have worked on, note it as a self-nomination. Please do not place more than one nomination at a time — this makes it difficult to do each article and its objections justice. You may wish to receive feedback before nominating an article here, by listing it at Wikipedia:Peer review.
Consensus must be reached for an article to be promoted to featured article status. If enough time passes without objections being resolved, nominations will be removed from the candidates list and archived.

Nomination procedure
- Check the featured article criteria and make sure the article meets all of them before nominating.
- Place {{fac}} on the talk page of the nominated article.
- From there, click on the "leave comments" link.
- (If you are resubmitting an article) Use the Move button to rename the previous nomination to an archive. For example, Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Television → Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Television/archive1
- Place ===[[name of nominated article]]=== at the top.
- Below it, write your reason for nominating the article.
- Finally, place {{Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/name of nominated article}} at the top of the list of nominees on this page by first copying the above, clicking "edit" on the top of the page, and then pasting, making sure to add the name of the nominated article.
Supporting and objecting
Please read nominated articles fully before deciding to support or oppose a nomination.
- To edit nominations in order to comment on them, you must click the "edit" link to the right of the article nomination on which you wish to comment (not the overall page's "edit this page" link).
- If you believe an article meets all of the criteria, write '''Support''' followed by your reasons.
- If you oppose a nomination, write '''Object''' followed by the reason for your objection. Each objection must provide a specific rationale that can be addressed. If nothing can be done in principle to "fix" the source of the objection, the objection may be ignored. This includes objections to an article's suitability for the Wikipedia Main Page, unless such suitability can be fixed (featured articles, despite being featured, may be marked so as not to be showcased on the Main Page).
- To withdraw an objection, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.
