Eurovision Song Contest
I believe this topic meets the criteria at WP:FT. Comments from everyone are appreciated. --► Cekli 829  08:12, 4 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Speedy Oppose This is just a random collection of good and featured content related to Eurovision, not a complete or concise topic. The first song article I looked at: I have no idea why Spring of Life (song) is here...it's not one of the List of Eurovision Song Contest winners nor does that article mention it! Please review the FT guidelines of what makes a topic. Reywas92Talk 10:05, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Confused - what is the actual topic? Name says "Eurovision Song Contest" and the lead article says "List of Eurovision Song Contest winners" which is not the same. So if the topic is "Eurovision Song Contest" it fails because the lead article is a "B" class, if it's "winners" then it has a large number of articles that are unrelated, should only have the list and the songs that actually won in my opinion.

 * Oppose and speedy close: see criterion 1(d), "A topic must not cherry pick only the best articles to become featured together." That's precisely what's happened here—the articles are a mixture of contests themselves, "[country] in [contest year]", singers and songs. All could be good or featured topics on their own, but only as complete lists. For instance, with the topic implied by the list—List of Eurovision Song Contest winners—there could be a topic for all songs or all singers who have won the contest, but this would need to be every song/singer from 1956 to the most recent winner, and the current state of articles makes this a very long way off happening at the moment. (The presented submission also fails criterion 3(a), and should have been a good topic submission). — Bilorv(c)(talk) 10:17, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per all the above. This seems to be a collection of all the Good/Featured articles which relate to Eurovision, but that does not make it a valid topic.  I think maybe the nominator has misunderstood the concept of a topic -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:55, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The consensus is obvious. I am failing this nomination and I caution the nominator to read the rules here for Featured Topics. GamerPro64  21:49, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
