 * — Well I guess I can indulge in some ego stroking at least once in awhile. :) Though my only concern about a pre-release Featured Article status are the dips in quality that comes when the game launches. Typically, it takes a month or two before a game page mellows out after its released and I fear that such award, while entirely deserving at the moment, may not be up to our expectations come this fall.
 * Changed vote. Grizzlei
 * — I think that promoting this would help make more people interested in it and make more people edit it positivley: REACHSURVIVES
 * — per spartacusWeeping Angel 20:13, 9 June 2012 (EDT)
 * — Very well written\documented article with substantial information & sources. -- Killamint   Comm  15:14, 12 July 2012 (EDT)
 * — Are you kidding me? This page is too unstable.  You can't make a "current event" a features article.  Because what's going to happen is too unpredictable.  (or so it says in the sacred caves) Vegerot!'' 00:35, 17 August 2012 (EDT)!
 * - Too soon. UNSC_MIC.jpg Captain MIC  14:51, 22 August 2012 (EDT)
 * - Let's wait until after the game is released.-- Spartacus  ('''Talk 14:59, 22 August 2012 (EDT)
 * — Right now its still a great article with minimal flaws to it, but there's still plenty of content that could be added to it and we should probably wait until December to mold it into an article worthy of Featured status.
 * - Vote against on grounds that a featured article should be one that has been extensively fact-checked and has all, or nearly all, of the information available on the subject.

Comments
Considering E3 2012 starts next week and its been confirmed that plenty of information about Campaign, War Games, and Spartan Ops will be released, I suggest that we hold off any vote until the page is normalized and the editing consistency calms down after new information editing and rewrites.
 * True, and pages about recently released games tend to be bogged down by the story description for a month, sometimes several. Let's see how concisely the plot can be summarized first. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 14:13, 30 May 2012 (EDT)
 * If its best to wait, should we hold off this article and nominate another article for now, then bring this article back up in November-December? Instead of it saying Pending, have it say On Hold? -- Killamint  [Comm |Files ] 16:53, 22 August 2012 (EDT)
 * Good idea. I'm presently looking through our articles to find one to nominate.-- Spartacus  ('''Talk 17:14, 22 August 2012 (EDT)

Well, since this nomination has hit a stalemate, does anyone have any objections to me closing/suspending this nomination?-- Spartacus,   Halopedia Administrator  Talk 14:11, 8 September 2012 (EDT)
 * I have no objections per what I asked above. I say suspend the nomination.-- Killamint  [Comm |Files ] 16:10, 8 September 2012 (EDT)

SPARTAN-II Program
Reason: This is one of the biggest aspects of the Halo universe. This article is properly sourced, well written, and meets all requirements. Why not promote it?-- 22:22, 8 October 2012 (EDT)

Votes

 * - As the nominator.-- 22:22, 8 October 2012 (EDT)

Glassing
Reason: Glassing is one of the aspects where the Halo universe takes a horrifyingly powerful turn. I feel on this article we've managed to fully explain that horror to every detail, as well as reconcile its various discrepancies that have shown up.
