Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Music of the Final Fantasy series

Music of the Final Fantasy series
I'm nominating this as a good topic as I think it meets the criteria. Over the past year I've gotten every single article up there to GA/FL with the exception of FF8. The topic includes the music articles on all of the main series Final Fantasy games, as well as the spinoff series that have their own music/discography articles, which are linked together in a template. -- Pres N  15:19, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support impressive! igordebraga ≠ 03:41, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - fantastic work, I really appreciate how you've even got the spinoff series discographies up to scratch as well. However I do not think this topic has quite earned the moniker "Music of the Final Fantasy series", as it is lacking articles on concert tours such as Tour de Japon, Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy and Dear Friends -Music from Final Fantasy-. However I think it would be acceptable to get around this by rescoping the topic by piping the lead to "Discographies of the Final Fantasy series" - rst20xx (talk) 10:33, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Do the tours really add anything to the subject of the music itself however?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 14:34, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think so, yes. Certainly they are covered with their own section in the lead article - rst20xx (talk) 16:43, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, I can see where you're coming from. I'd prefer to leave it at "Music of FF", but I'm okay if we change the scope to "Discographies of FF".  I'll go ahead and move the nom page and stuff. -- Pres  N  17:58, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - very well done, a labour of love and a really useful collection of information - rst20xx (talk) 16:28, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If I got, say, a "Final Fantasy Concerts" page (combining the concert articles you state above) up to GA+ and added it to the topic, would you support renaming the topic back to "Music of"? -- Pres N  16:39, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the three articles could probably be expanded to GAs individually, but with that said, my answer is still yes - rst20xx (talk) 18:43, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Well rounded and thorough.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 14:34, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support With it's current title of "Discographies of the Final Fantasy series", because it meets the featured topic criteria. Alex Douglas (talk) 11:37, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I think Rst20xx brought up a good point. Since the main article covers concerts, it makes sense to include them in topic. I'm not certain that simply renaming the scope really solves that though. I've always felt the lead should be the major defining point to the scope. PresN, do you think Final Fantasy concerts could reach GA? (Guyinblack25 talk 19:22, 3 June 2009 (UTC))
 * Yes, and I'm working on it- hopefully I'll get it up to nominating status in a week or two. Note the 70 or so edits on it since I created the page a week/week and a half ago. I disagree that renaming the scope does not solve the problem, though I hope to make the point moot soon. -- Pres N  20:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Neutral: (Leaning towards support) PresN, I'm confident you will improve the article to GA standards; you've done spectacular work on the whole topic. So long as you are working on it, I see no real problem, only technicalities which I believe should be acknowledged. I hope you understand my neutral stance, but I don't feel I should fully support the topic without the concert article and full music scope. (Guyinblack25 talk 21:07, 3 June 2009 (UTC))
 * Support: With the concert article now GA and the scope matching the main article, I see no reason to withhold support. I think this is one of the better video game topics we have now. Excellent work PresN. (Guyinblack25 talk 20:24, 3 July 2009 (UTC))
 * Support as either discography topic (as now), or even better as the more general topic - note that the concerts article is currently at GAN, so waiting to see the outcome there may be best.YobMod 17:39, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd be okay with that, except that the current backlog (top to bottom) of the "Music" section of GAN is ~1.5 months - that may be a bit long to keep this on hold. -- Pres N  17:54, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * While generally it is advised against, I think given the circumstances it would be a good idea to hold off and wait and see how the GAN goes before promoting the topic. It would be easier this way. If you like we could hide the nomination until the GAN passes, effectively putting it on hold for the time being, or we can leave it here so other people have a chance to look it over in the meantime - rst20xx (talk) 10:57, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't really care one way or another. Hopefully it will get reviewed soon. -- Pres  N  13:31, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Final Fantasy concerts has passed GA; I've added it to the nomination and renamed the topic back to "Music of the Final Fantasy series". I think it should be good to go now. -- Pres  N  16:08, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Looking at the end result, I think you were definitely right to merge the articles :) rst20xx (talk) 13:14, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Close with consensus to promote - rst20xx (talk) 13:14, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
