Current nominationsEdit
Please put all new nominations at the bottom of the section.
CuboyEdit
A long article describing Cuboy, his past and present appearances, his multitude of appearances, and also has lots of pictures. Plus, it's about a Nitrome characters barely anyone knows about. This would probably interest a lot of people. --Talk to

Support - - As supporter. --Talk to NU 23:45, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
No more supports? --Talk to NU 18:00, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
Support - - I agree, it would be an interesting read for many Nitromians, especially with the upcoming release of profiles and comments on games. I like that every description of Cuboy has a picture to go along with it and that his history is extensive, going a long way back to the founding of Nitrome. --

Support - I honestly, truly thought this should have been featured a long time ago. Extremely complete and interesting to read. --

Support - Agree entirely. Wonderful overlooked page with key information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by NTPYTO (talk • contribs)
Comment - may I delay putting this up by a day? Still have yet to finish the grammar and spelling check. SQhi•(talk)500 Mainspace Edits(finally!) 23:16, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
WeresquareEdit
The article is well-written and is about an enemy that most people will not have heard about, as many Nitromians don't read the blog. I fixed the few errors in it, and think it would be a good featured article, although it is relatively short page.—The preceding SIGNED comment was added by Mithrandir (talk • contribs)

Support - - The article is an interesting read and includes references to the blog post to where the information was derived. -- Ayernam 19:42, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
Support - - As Ayernam said, an interesting read on something unused--Talk to NU 21:07, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
Support - - Yep, interesting read on the innermost secrets of Nitrome(kidding) SQhi•(talk)Diamond 01:54, March 16, 2013 (UTC)
Nitrome TouchyEdit
Article explains a lot how Nitrome Touchy works, includes the various methods of obtaining the app, the problems with the app, Android compatibility, how to hook it up to your TV, changes Nitrome.com, etc.. In short, this article is absolutely massive and has a lot of information - even a reception section!
DiscussionEdit
Support - As nominator. --Talk to NU 20:55, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
Support - I agree. Very well written article, with lots of information and facts that even the common Nitromian would not know about just by reading Nitrome's blog and the Nitrome Touchy website. -- Ayernam 21:01, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
Comment - Lengthy, which is nice, content is quite good. I do not think the "Completely playable" table should belong in the article, the writing is very opinion-oriented and doesn't belong on the Nitrome Touchy article.

- How is it very opinion oriented? I find the content is rather important, as it shows flaws in the hardware that Nitrome failed to point out that could affect the software. And isn't it important to point out what Nitrome Touchy games don't work properly on an Android device? Also, where else could the section go? --Talk to NU 13:37, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
Bow and arrowEdit
An article that covers the various strategies surrounding the Bow and arrow, and its weaknesses. When nominating this, I wasn't really sure about nominating it, as it seems to only cover its attacking methods and its weaknesses - nothing else.
DiscussionEdit
Support - As nominator. --Talk to NU 20:55, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
Support - I support this article being nominated, but first I had to fill in the appearance section, because a featured article cannot have empty sections. Otherwise, really detailed article, with lots of information and strategies in the game information section. -- Ayernam 21:23, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
Support - Though, it could use an extra picture, maybe a screenshot from the game of a soldier wielding a bow? Robot Wants RSK 22:50, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
SnotEdit
Covers a lot about a generally overlooked character, including its various appearance - it also has lots of pictures.
DiscussionEdit
Support - As nominator. --Talk to NU 20:55, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
Support - This is a great article! I especially like the evolution template, because it really shows how the snot has evolved from its simplest to most complex forms. Also, lots of description in all sections. I also made two of the images transparent, so now they are all transparent. -- Ayernam 21:23, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
Support - This one has a good abundance of pictures to balance out the text. What about adding a screenshot from Snot Put of the background with snot? Robot Wants RSK 23:02, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
- I added the pictures of snot from the backgrounds of Snot Put and Super Snot Put. -- Ayernam 19:52, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
Support - Shall we feature this for May? It seems the most ready to be featured. SQhi•(talk)Wiki Planner 15:59, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
Unsuccessful NominationsEdit
