(Approved)
Reason: Well referenced and sourced, plenty of images, and well detailed overall. It is one of the most noteworthy named vessels of the Halcyon-class light cruiser, and the predecessor of the newer Autumn-class heavy cruiser. The Autumn played a pivotal role in the Battle of Installation 04. And also because it should be given another try. -- Xamikaze330  [Transmission |Commencing ] 18:55, 27 January 2014 (EST)Xamikaze330

Date of nomination: 1/27/2014

Votes

 * As per above. -- Xamikaze330  [Transmission |Commencing ] 18:55, 27 January 2014 (EST)Xamikaze330

 * - Good one Tucker!-- 11:13, 29 January 2014 (EST)
 * - Sure, why not. It's quite a decent page.--Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 12:05, 4 February 2014 (EST)

Comments

 * Shall we make this a featured article? Is three support votes enough? Does anyone else care to vote? -- Xamikaze330  [Transmission |Commencing ] 12:07, 3 February 2014 (EST)Xamikaze330
 * It still has another week open for voting. At this point, I'd say it's probably enough support, but it wouldn't hurt to have more.-- 12:17, 3 February 2014 (EST)

✅-- 11:50, 10 February 2014 (EST)

Halo 2 Collector's Edition (Approved)
Reason: I think the presentation of the article serves the article well, giving it a clean look. Though it lacks transcripts from each video, what the article does best is providing readers the best collection of videos without ever needing to leave the article.

Thomas Lasky (Approved)
Reason: Well sourced, many images, and very comprehensive. Lasky is becoming one of the larger characters in the Halo universe and he is a very notable individual. The article contains all information relevant to Thomas Lasky.

Has it been long enough for a consensus to be made? - NightHammer (talk) 18:43, 15 September 2014 (EDT)
 * I totally forgot about this nomination (I blame Destiny!), but since there is unanimous approval, I will add it to the list.-- 19:25, 16 September 2014 (EDT)

Erde-Tyrene civilization (Approved)
Reason: Very well-written and sourced. There is little to no grammar, pronunciation, or spelling errors. Contains a fitting quote and images in my opinion. The civilization is an interesting part of the Halo lore.

 * - As per nomination. Sith-venator Wavingstrider Fett helmet.jpg ( Commlink ) 13:54, 4 October 2014 (EDT)
 * - It's nicely comprehensive for something so obscure. Wish we had more diverse images from official stuff though (e.g. examples of their tech like airships or steamboats). --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 09:15, 5 October 2014 (EDT)

Is this ready to be a featured article? - NightHammer (talk) 17:42, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
 * It's got sufficient support. I'll try to get it featured sometime this weekend if I have the time.-- 17:56, 31 October 2014 (EDT)

Ur-Didact (Closed)
Reason: Well-sourced and very comprehensive. The Ur-Didact is now a major character in the Halo franchise and his article is very well-written.

 * - Per nomination. - NightHammer (talk) 19:38, 20 November 2014 (EST)

 * - A good choice.-- 14:14, 22 November 2014 (EST)

Halo: Faith (Approved)
Reason: It comprehensively covers virtually everything we know about this cut-short fan film, from screenplay to casting to budget to music. It's an unusual choice, since it's not an official piece of Halo media, but it's just as detailed as one, and so worth giving attention.

Halo: Nightfall (Closed)
Reason: It is a great article and I don't see any grammar mistakes or anything, so I guess it is suitable for FA status.

Date of Nomination: 17:37, 14 March 2015 (Indian Standard Time).

Nominator: Coolbuddy379

Votes

 * - A lot of red still exists on the Halo: Nightfall page, and the actual show wasn't the most well received Halo show. SamGall (talk) 15:17, 14 March 2015 (EDT)
 * - Same as Sam. Though how the film is received by the community should not factor in judging the article.-- 11:20, 23 March 2015 (EDT)
 * - The red links alone take away from the article. The article could still use some expansion, especially since the DVD just came out. - NightHammer (talk) 20:21, 23 March 2015 (EDT)

High Charity (Approved)
Reason: Lots of detail, clear and concise about a major subject, up to date, and the shiny pictures don't hurt.

Rampancy (Approved)
Reason: This article comprehensively covers a concept unique to Halo (and Marathon) and is pretty well arranged and improved from the mess it used to be.

Forerunner-Flood war (Approved)
Reason: Chronicles one of the Halo universe's most significant and complicated events very thoroughly and seamlessly integrates more recent Forerunner Saga material with prior sources — and does all this with a relative clarity and conciseness.

Halo Array (Approved)

 * - Lord Susto  17:45, 12 April 2015 (EDT)
 * - Definitely worthy of featuring. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk )
 * - Would make for a standout feature. SamGall (talk) 20:51, 12 April 2015 (EDT)

Halo: A Fistful of Arrows
Reason: Probably the best Halo fanwork out there. Maybe even the best Halo comic ever written. And its page shows the loads of detail, compelling characters, and amazing artwork that make it that.

Votes

 * - Per nomination. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 04:28, 4 May 2015 (EDT)

 * - Still hoping 343i hires Levi. - NightHammer (talk) 10:49, 4 May 2015 (EDT)
