This page is to nominate minor articles as being complete, or comprehensive articles.

What is a comprehensive article?
A comprehensive article is one that is complete with all its relevant information, but due to its slight size, cannot obtain Featured article status (our best work). The purpose of this project is to establish uniformity among Wikisimpsons, by seeing that all articles are, essentially, complete, with all their relevant material. Through this process, we mainly hope to let readers know when an article they are reading is complete, and not a "stub" (an article which has been denoted as lacking in information), though its size might suggest so. Episodes and regular and supporting characters cannot qualify as comprehensive articles, as they can obtain featured status. (For nominating these articles, see Wikisimpsons:Featured article.)

Criteria
An article must… 


 * 1) …be well-written.
 * 2) …list all canon and non-canon appearances.
 * 3) …follow the Manual of Style and all other policies on Wikisimpsons.
 * 4) …not be tagged with any improvement tags (i.e. image needed, stub, etc).
 * 5) …have all canon (or non-canon if this is all there is) information presented.
 * 6) …be completely referenced.
 * 7) …have all image licenses fully filled-out.
 * 8) …provide at least one relevant quote on the article if available.
 * 9) …include a "Behind the Laughter" section for real world information (if any).

Nominating process
How to nominate:


 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of comprehensive status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
 * 2) Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
 * 3) Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
 * If, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections, it will be officially known as a "comprehensive article".

How to vote:


 * 1) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 2) Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
 * 3) If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
 * 4) As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
 * 5) Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be officially known as a "comprehensive article", and the  template can be added to the top of its page.
 * 6) All nominations must be put at the bottom of the page.

Flanders the Devil
A massive article for a character who appeared in one episode. I would say that it is just off featured status. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 18:28, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Support (2)

 * 1) Yup. Good article, 21:24, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) A good article for a one time character.  Jose giraffio  Want to talk 15:46, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Comments
Are articles on non-canon topics suitable for comprehensive article nominations? Just wondering, because the criteria do say the article must include all canon information, which won't be the case for Treehouse of Horror characters. Maybe the criteria need to be tweaked slightly. That said, though, I think the Devil Flanders is a good article (if it's not too biased of me to say so). On a slightly different topic and looking forward a bit, it would be cool (IMO) to feature one or more Treehouse of Horror articles on the front page of the wiki when October arrives. -- Mythigator 20:15, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Changed the criteria slightly. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 21:21, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Steve Mobbs
A good, long, detailed article on a one time character. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 19:29, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Support (2)

 * 1) Yes. Great page! 21:24, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Good article with multiple images. Brassbandplayer 15:53, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Milo
Huge article for someone who only appeared at the start of an episode. --Smiley12 was here at 22:03, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Support (2)

 * 1) Yeah. As Smiley said, great page for a one-time character. 22:15, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Seems like a great article. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 12:24, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Milo's personality really comes across in how he sets up and runs his store. And since the episode spends a good amount of time in the store, it actually provides quite a lot of information about Milo. -- Mythigator 13:58, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Mindy Simmons
Quite a big article with a large Behind the Laughter section for a character who only appeared in one episode plus a few cameos.  Jose giraffio  Want to talk 11:30, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Support (4)

 * 1) A quote would be good, however, it is large for a character like her. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 12:25, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Yup 12:28, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) It's got my vote. And now also a quote. -- Mythigator 13:53, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Yup. - ThePlatypus 14:19, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose (1)

 * 1) The BtL section should be referenced and the Non-canon section isn't necessarily non-canon, it was just a dream/illusion, and should be stated as such. TheUnderfaker 14:20, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Comments
I created a template for commentaries, so the BtL section can be referenced. TheUnderfaker 15:01, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Adil Hoxha
A well-done article of a minor character. - --ThePlatypus 14:29, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Support (3)

 * 1) It's got my vote. -- Mythigator 03:57, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Once again, I would like a quote as most articles can get a quote. Otherwise, it is fine. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 06:39, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Yeah, good article. 12:52, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral (0)

 * 1) Needs some MoS tweaks, but otherwise looks good. -- Mythigator 15:03, August 30, 2010 (UTC) Withdrawn after giving the article a makeover. -- Mythigator 03:56, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Comments
Because Adil literally lives a double life while he's staying with the Simpsons, it seemed appropriate to use two quotes. -- Mythigator 12:24, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Opening Sequence
A massive article, not likely to get featured though, that is full of pictures and information about each of the opening sequences. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 14:14, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Lurleen Lumpkin
A really good article for a character who has only spoke in three episodes with a lot of detail.  Jose giraffio  Want to talk 13:50, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Gabbo
This is a fairly long article for a character who was only the focus of one episode. It has a picture, quote and is of decent length. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 20:13, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
