Removing featured lists in Wikipedia

This page is for the review and improvement of featured lists that may no longer meet the featured list criteria. FLs should be kept at current standards, regardless of when they were promoted. Any objections raised in the review must be actionable.

The FLC director, Giants2008, or his delegates, PresN and Hey man im josh, determine the exact timing of the process for each nomination. Nominations will last at least 14 days, and longer where changes are ongoing and it seems useful to continue the process. For a nomination to be kept, consensus must be reached that it still meets the criteria. Consensus is built among reviewers and nominators; the delegates determine whether there is consensus. A nomination will be removed from the list, archived and added to Former featured lists if, in the judgment of the director who considers a nomination and its reviews:

  • actionable objections have not been resolved; or
  • consensus to delist has been reached; or
  • insufficient information has been provided by reviewers to judge whether the criteria have been met.

Nominations may be closed earlier than the allotted two weeks if, in the judgment of the FLRC delegate, the list in the nomination:

  • has a clear consensus to merge or redirect to another article or list. This consensus may be shown in Articles for deletion, a discussion on the article's talk page, a discussion on the relevant WikiProject(s), or other community venues that present a tangible consensus to merge or redirect the article; or
  • contains a clear copyright violation and removal of the copyrighted material would severely degrade the quality of the list.

Do not nominate lists that have recently been promoted (such complaints should have been brought up during the candidacy period as featured list candidates) or lists that have recently survived a removal attempt – such nominations are likely to be removed summarily.

A bot will update the list talk page after the list has been kept or the nomination has been archived; the delay in bot processing can range from minutes to several days, and the {{FLRC}} template should remain on the talk page until the bot updates {{ArticleHistory}}. If a nomination is delisted, editors should take adequate time to work on resolving issues before re-nominating at Featured list candidates.

Nomination procedure

  • Place {{subst:FLRC}} on the talk page of the nominated list.
  • From the FLRC template, click on the red "initiate the nomination" link. You will see pre-loaded information; leave that text. If you are unsure how to complete a nomination, please post to the FLRC talk page for assistance.
  • Below the preloaded title, write your reason for nominating the list, sign with ~~~~ and save the page. Please note which of the featured list criteria that the list fails to meet.
  • Place {{Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/name of nominated article/archiveNumber}} 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.
  • Notify relevant parties by adding {{subst:FLRCMessage|ArticleName|archive=# of archive page}} (for example, {{subst:FLRCMessage|List of Presidents of the United States|archive=1}}) to relevant talk pages (insert article name). Relevant parties include main contributors to the article (identifiable through article stats script), the editor who originally nominated the article for Featured List status (identifiable through the Featured List Candidate link in the Article Milestones), and any relevant WikiProjects (identifiable through the talk page banners, but there may be other Projects that should be notified). Leave a message at the top of the FLRC indicating whom you have notified and that notifications have been completed.

Nominations for removal

List of tallest buildings in Albuquerque


Notified: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Skyscrapers

Unfortunately this list was nominated almost 20 years ago and the standards have significantly shifted. Here are a few issues:

  • Lead is short and doesn't accurately summarize the list.
  • Citations tags include: contain dead links, and failed verifications, and contain user generated content (I believe this refers to one of the references used not being appropriate, and has been there for 7 years)
  • The "notes" section is sparse and underdeveloped. Consider Grade I listed buildings in Oxford for how the notes for buildings should be. If there is nothing notable about the building, then it shouldn't be on this list, as wikipedia is not a directory.
  • History section should be updated and expanded (when it says some buildings are not downtown, where are they?)
  • Outdated wording "this list is..."
  • None of the images have alt-texts and fail accessibility.
  • Page could really use a map
  • The one note, is just repeated in the notes section.

List of Naruto characters


Notified: WikiProject Anime and manga, WikiProject Fictional characters, WikiProject Lists

I am nominating this for featured list removal because 3 weeks ago I made a talk page post and pinged numerous editors active there in the past, where I outlined the problems: "After List of Boruto characters was merged here, this gained a lot of unreferenced content (ex. section on Moegi Kazamatsuri; there are others). My second concern is that even entries on notable characters (ex. Hinata) contain just plot summary and info on voice actors, there is no reception / analysis (which some of the articles on individual characters have, some are even GA like aforementioned Hinata).". Since then, User:BinaryBrainBug also observed that at "Approximately 24,000 words, that's too large". In ter of WP:FLCR, the issuses are 3a (comprehensivness) and 3b (poor referencing). To my concern on comprehensivness, I'll add that the list has cherry-picked random information for various characters and is not very up to date. For example, the newest (Boruto) arc antagonist is Jūra, yet his entry is very short; while for example some less relevant characters (ex. Ao) have much longer plot summaries. This is a minor issue, but the main is the lower quality content when it comes to the merged Boruto entries and lack of summary of reception/analysis for many characters. For example, Boruto character Sumire section is just an unreferenced plot summary, despite sources like or existing. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:45, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Could indeed be better summarized and referenced. Shouldn't be hard to get back in featured list territory. Not my research area. Let's wait for other opinions. Selbstporträt (talk) 00:13, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

List of Meerkat Manor meerkats


Notified: Wikipedia:WikiProject Television, Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists, Wikipedia:WikiProject South Africa

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it contains significant unreferenced content (Wikipedia:Featured list criteria: 3b). I have noted the problems few days ago on the talk page, to no replies from anyone (the principal editors of this list are inactive). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:08, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

  • All of that unsourced content makes this an inappropriate FL. Delist. Bgsu98 (Talk) 13:48, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
  • Unfortunately delist per nom. -- ZooBlazer 16:53, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
  • Delist for the same reasons as above. Page looks mostly abandoned as well so I don't see any work getting done to get this to FL quality (of which there's a lot!) happening soon. RandomEditsForWhenIRemember (talk) 10:08, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

List of mammals of Korea


Notified: Example user, Example WikiProject

I am nominating this for featured list removal because

  • It probably needs updating. some of the sources were last accessed in 2006. Some of the IUCN assessments probably need updating, and some of the taxonomy has probably been changed too by now.
  • Images lack alt text
  • Several CS1 errors
  • at least one unsourced statement

EmergentAnarchy (talk) 16:15, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

  • Tables violate MOS:DTAB with pseudo-headers. Delist unless someone undertakes an improvement. Bgsu98 (Talk) 16:58, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
