Nomination rules

• Make sure it meets the requirements.

=== Votes ===

• Neutral votes are unneeded; a simple yes or no would suffice.
• Remember to use the Support and Oppose templates.
• Each nomination will be open for one week. If it is approved, then there will be a one week waiting period before another article can be nominated. If the votes are split with no consensus by the end of the week, then the nomination will remain open for a second week before a final decision.
• Three votes, two by administrators, are the minimum amount of support required to approve the article. If the votes for support beat the votes to oppose by seven votes, the article will be immediately approved without having to wait the rest of the week.
• After nominating an article, place the featured article nomination template on the article's page.
• If an article is not approved for featuring, it must wait one month before it can be nominated again.

Cabal (Approved)

Reason: This is an extremely comprehensive and well-constructed article based on what we know from the Cabal Grimoire cards, Guardian equipment, and various quotes and mission dialogues, especially given that they are one of the least known races in Destiny compared to others like the Hive and the Fallen; even the Vex, as alien as they are, have more stuff to their name than the Cabal. In light of all this, the article has been well-sourced, full of images, and illustrative quotes heading each section.

Dreadnaught (Approved)

• Support - I think a new article on the wiki front page will do it good, and I think this article is just the one for the job. Excellent work Dante! Arcmind ^{Execute long hold for reactivation. AI-COM/ACMD SIGNOFF} 06:15, 4 May 2017 (EDT)

Comments

I'll also note that it was User:Observance who inspired me to reconstruct the Dreadnaught article with his insightful edits. I credit him here. Δαντε τηε Γηοστ ^{Ι ωονδερ ιφ Ικορα γιϝες ηυγς το Γηοστσ. Ηεη... ανψωαψς, νιξε ωορκ. Τηις ις ωηατ Ι υσεδ.} 23:59, 3 May 2017 (EDT)

Books of Sorrow (Approved)

Reason: Thanks to the collaborative efforts of several users this page has become a true article worthy of recognition. According to the Special:LongPages it is just under 4000 bytes smaller than the actual Grimoire Books of Sorrow, yet is fantastically well-written and comprehensive after numerous revisions. Designed to be a "Cliffs notes", this article fulfils that purpose by describing in laymen terms what is happening in the Books, allowing both the casual fan and experienced "loremaster" to find their way around.

It contains a short summary with link brackets to each section for easier navigation; a roster for describing the various characters and other entities which have prominence in the Books; the synopsis itself, and a Trivia section which in addition to describing interesting things also contains a section which explains many of the hard-to-understand or unfamiliar terms that have become synonymous with Destiny lore. Its main source has been linked in the very top of the article for people wanting to read the transcript for themselves, so that fulfils citation requirements.

• Support - Per nomination; and also just a slight touch of vanity and pride. --Δαντε τηε Γηοστ ^{Ι ωονδερ ιφ Ικορα γιϝες ηυγς το Γηοστσ. Ηεη... ανψωαψς, νιξε ωορκ. Τηις ις ωηατ Ι υσεδ.} 09:08, 21 May 2017 (EDT)
• Support - "All is vanity and vexation of spirit." :p No really, this page is very well done. Arcmind ^{Execute long hold for reactivation. AI-COM/ACMD SIGNOFF} 19:46, 21 May 2017 (EDT)
