Tank Dempsey
I think Dempsey should be featured because he is always in a zombies game since he is the hosts character and plus all the other zombie characters like him.

Not everyone likes him- Richtofen, in one of his quotes on Kino, says " Hello, Dempsey. Oh look, its just a portrait. AN UGLY ONE!!" Biggunz77 01:37, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

That is no reason to be neutral on that.

Not the greatest artcial. Just because he is in most zombie levels, and is the host's character doesn't mean he should be featured. Conqueror of all Zombies 02:46, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

I agree I think he is kinda overlooked and it wouldnt be that bad if he was spotlighted for a while,but the reason people dont really like him is because hes just not that funny. Pwned by tha n00b 21:38, February 8, 2011 (UTC) User lacks mainspace edits to vote 21:48, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

Claymore
A great little piece of equipment featured in three (and arguably the best) of the COD games, this is not just based on one game and so contains more information which I think should be better for a featured article. It's well written and there's no mess on the trivia section which is good for an article like this.

Dimitri Petrenko
A great character, was the main character for Call of Duty World at War, and played a very big part of Black Ops. It is a well-written article.

Support
Biggunz77 22:41, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

I agree. He is a big character since you play as him in World at war and plus he is shown for some time in black ops.Dudebot121256 23:15, February 2, 2011 (UTC)dudebot121256

I agree to this. He should have died a hero, not a filthy rat experiment. Let's honor his death for this. Plus the article is best written so why not indeed. GunsSwordsFlames 23:35, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

 * He actually does play a major part in Black Ops, he fuels Reznov's hunger for revenge, thus in turn brainwashing Mason, and thus making him a big part of the storyline.Biggunz77 21:17, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Dragovich was to use the Nova-6 anyway, and Reznov wouldn't stand for that, so they probably could have continued the storyline without him, just with a huge plot hole as to where he went. 20:17, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but Reznov might have stood for that since Dragovich hadn't killed his best friend., and as Reznov said, he was a soldier then. He followed orders, and he wouldn't have known what he was going to do with it anyway. Biggunz77 00:59, February 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Knowing Dragovich, he probably would have tested it on his soldiers anyway. And Reznov probably cares for his men, so you can argue the plotline could've commenced without Dimitri. 04:42, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

It needs a lot of editing, and you failed to give a legit reason for featured article. Conqueror of all Zombies 05:11, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

M1911
While we usually feature weapons, I don't believe we have ever featured a secondary weapon. Not only would this be the first featured secondary, but it is both incredibly recurring throughout the series, tied only with the STG-44 for most featured. Personally, I think it is a very well written and full of information. It is very deserving of this honor as well. 08:45, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

 * The M1911 has actually been featured more than the STG-44. The former made appearances in MW2 and BO, where the latter did not.  bibliomaniac 1  5  04:11, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * The STG-44 was in Project Nova, and also in CoD4 as the MP-44, so they are tied...  06:50, February 7, 2011 (UTC)

Knife
I've done a major fix up of the Knife article, and would like to nominate it for FA status. The best thing about this article, IMO, is that there is no trivia section. All of it worth keeping has been integrated into the main body of the article itself. It is well-illustrated, and there's about as much detail as you could expect for any melee weapon.  bibliomaniac 1  5  05:56, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Not that good of an article. It doesn't change much from game-to-game, and "no trivia" doesn't make it Featured Article material. Conqueror of all Zombies 02:52, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * What do you suggest to make it better? Not changing much from game to game doesn't exclude it from FA status, it just means that it hasn't changed much. As for no trivia, the point is that it's been integrated into the prose.  bibliomaniac 1  5  08:43, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * The not changing much means that very little info can be added for each game's release, and the trivia thing doesn't mean its a good article. Conqueror of all Zombies 20:19, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Who cares whether it doesn't change from game to game? We're voting for this due to the article, not the subject of the article. --Callofduty4 20:23, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's just the same info repeated is my point.
 * That's because the statistics remain largely the same between games. However, I have added information about other types of knives in the article, as well as pictures of each. The information that needs to be repeated is repeated for the sake of completeness, but there is other information there. Like I asked, what do you suggest to make it better?  bibliomaniac 1  5  04:50, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

 * According to DenKirson's analysis of weapon statistics from the game files, the knife's normal range is 128 inches and increased to 304 inches with Commando. This corresponds to about 10.67 and 25.33 feet, respectively.  bibliomaniac 1  5  05:33, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

Nova 6
Nova 6 is a centripetal part of Call of Duty: Black Ops and arguably in the DS version also. The article is fairly well written, bulked out with information and has a good selection of pictures.

This article is messy, has been since the day the game came out. YuriKaslov 19:30, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you mean messy as in it looks bad messy or bad grammar messy. 15:03, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * It looks bad, and there is some irl thrown in. YuriKaslov 15:05, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * The only IRL info I can find in that is about the atomic number, and the periodic table provided does show that it has a higher atomic mass than Argon, which would be the heaviest gas in the air. Apart from that, I can't really fault it, imo there's been FAs which have looked much more untidy. 15:12, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
