Nominations Clarifications #1
It's great to see so many people enthusiastically nominating so early. As of about 1420 UTC I have approved all tags I feel completely confident about; below are the issues that have meant I have not approved others.
ETA 2230 UTC: there are now several more fandoms awaiting approval with the same issues as those outlined in the first section below; please check that you have followed the nominations guidelines - all tags (for both characters and worldbuilding) need to be disambiguated, and all fandoms need to have as a minimum the following: "Any or No Characters", "Original Character(s)", and at least one worldbuilding tag.
Disambiguation, missing default character tags, lack of worldbuilding tags
A fairly large number of fandoms remaining have one, two, or all three of the following issues:
The fandoms in question are: Boku No Hero Academia, Dragon Age - All Media Types, Final Fantasy XV, Killjoys (TV), Maria-sama ga Miteru, Naruto, Pandemic Legacy, Star Wars - New EU, Stardew Valley, Witches of East End (TV), X-Men - All Media Types (please also see the following section for Dragon Age and X-Men)
For further clarification, please refer to the detailed nominations information in the rules post; if you still have queries, please get in touch either in the comments of this post or via email to worldbuildingmod@gmx.com
Queries about intended scope
I am happy to approve all of the following in principle (though some have other issues as noted above), but want to be sure that everyone is on the same page about the intended scope of the canon that could be drawn upon.
Apart from the fandoms with other issues, if I hear nothing I will start approving these within 48 hours assuming that the nominators are happy with them as is.
Specific queries
These fandoms have been approved but I'm holding back on some specific tags within them.

Disambiguation, missing default character tags, lack of worldbuilding tags
A fairly large number of fandoms remaining have one, two, or all three of the following issues:
- None or almost none of the tags have been disambiguated; I am willing to add these in while approving where only a few have been missed, but this is too time consuming for entire fandom slates that are missing their disambiguations (please disregard the instructions on the nominations submission page to choose AO3 canonicals - this is not ideal for this exchange for quite a number of reasons; unfortunately, I cannot override this text)
- The "default" character tags "Original Character(s) (Name of Fandom)" and "Any or No Characters (Name of Fandom)" have not been submitted (if you have already used more than five character slots for characters in the fandom, you will need to choose some to change, sorry)
- No worldbuilding tags have been included in the Relationship fields (a few of these fandoms have actual relationships nominated; these will definitely not be approved)
The fandoms in question are: Boku No Hero Academia, Dragon Age - All Media Types, Final Fantasy XV, Killjoys (TV), Maria-sama ga Miteru, Naruto, Pandemic Legacy, Star Wars - New EU, Stardew Valley, Witches of East End (TV), X-Men - All Media Types (please also see the following section for Dragon Age and X-Men)

Queries about intended scope
I am happy to approve all of the following in principle (though some have other issues as noted above), but want to be sure that everyone is on the same page about the intended scope of the canon that could be drawn upon.
- Doctor Who (2005) - I would interpret this to be only the TV episodes from Rose onwards (i.e. currently to Resolution) but none of the various spin-off novels, comics, etc.
- Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age: The Last Court - I don't know much about the details of this fandom, but if fans want to discuss the overlaps between these please do so
- Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch - I would interpret the general fandom tag to include the comics. If the nomination is intended to be for books only, please change the fandom name to clarify ETA: the original nominator has clarified this as being the scope they intended; if other nominators were looking for something more restricted, please let me know
- X-Men - All Media Types - this is very broad; while I think it could be done (for example, within the framework of Marvel's parallel universes) I am not sure that this is the nominator's intention. Please note that this fandom also has no default character tags or worldbuilding tags (see above)
Apart from the fandoms with other issues, if I hear nothing I will start approving these within 48 hours assuming that the nominators are happy with them as is.
Specific queries
These fandoms have been approved but I'm holding back on some specific tags within them.
- K: Christmas 1944 - Adolph K. Weismann (character) - the online sources I can find use "Adolf"; does this matter?
- Supergirl (TV 2015) - WB: the Xenosexual Scene and Maggie's Bildungsroman - I'm unclear what's intended by "Maggie's Bildungsroman", and whether or not it qualifies as worldbuilding rather than characterisation
