== [[Oracle Turret]] ==
I, [[User:12lightningtheif|12]][[File:Achievement A Feeling Like Floating.jpg|Thumb|Lightning|x30px]][[User:12lightningtheif|theif]], Think that a big, well known section shouldn't nominate a big article. We should nominate a page most people don't look at, like the [[Oracle Turret]], who is not even mentioned on the turrets page. Most people would vote for caroline because they like that character, or wheatley. Thats not me. I vote for the [[Oracle Turret]]. –[[User:12lightningtheif|12]]|[[File:Achievement A Feeling Like Floating.jpg|Thumb|Lightning|x40px]]|[[User:12lightningtheif|theif]]''':''' Zap! 01:20, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
:The featured article has been changed not too long ago, but I agree that this should be the next one — [[User:WindPower|Wind]] 05:39, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

== [[GLaDOS]] ==
GLaDOS article is very informative, and meets all the requirements

Nominated by --[[User:Secondhand Work|Secondhand Work]] 13:51, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

This Article is big ,informative and has lots of diagrams showing the evolution of this character. It also thoroughly describes her personality and her backstory. I vote for [[GLaDOS]]

: I nominate GLaDOS too, in fact, the page is massive

: Yep, youre seeing this: |[[User:Headquarter8302]]| |[https://theunofficial-portalwiki.fandom.com/wiki/User:Headquarter8302 Unofficial Fandom Portal Wiki Profile]| |[https://terracorp.fandom.com/wiki/User:Headquarter8302 TerraCorp Wiki Profile]| 04:26, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

== [[Co-op/fr|Co-op (fr)]] ==
I can't really argue because it's my article. I just wanted to see if you all think that it worths a featuring. I think it passes the criteria

: {{c|no}} While translated articles carry over the featured tag, there's no reason to feature a translated article by itself. If [[Co-op]] were nominated (and accepted), the /fr subpage would be automatically featured as well. — [[User:Tark|Tark]] 01:25, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

== Aperture Laboratories Roblox Testing Initiative ==
It is an article of a Roblox game based on Portal, to allow Roblox players to test how well they know the basics of Roblox, and also to incorporate what Portal would be like without portals. I made the article myself, and I don't know if this is "cheating", but I spent a lot of time into the article and I also really want to be able to get players after spending all the robux I had on a sponsor which got no clicks.

[[Aperture Laboratories Roblox Testing Initiative|Here]] is the link

: {{c|invalid}} Deemed invalid as per [[User talk:ApertureFan99/Aperture Laboratories Roblox Testing Initiative|previous discussion]]. — [[User:Tark|Tark]] 01:25, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

== Central AI chamber ==
The central AI chamber is the best part of the games, and it definitley meets the criteria. It also has a lot o facts that you don't get in the real game.

== Cubes ==

https://theportalwiki.com/wiki/Cubes

I think this article is great. It meets the criteria and I think those fine Cubies deserve some attention.

== Wheatley - Featured Article Candidate. ==

https://theportalwiki.com/wiki/Wheatley

I think it matches the criteria and it talks about a very interesting, important and (obviously) funny character.

''P.S. If you don't think Wheatley is funny, you're a Moron and you have a very minor case of brain damage XD''
