Pru (album)

Nominator(s): Aoba47 (talk) 14:05, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello everyone! Following the promotion of "Shine" (Gwen Stefani song), I have decided to nominate another music-related article for FAC. This article is about the eponymous, debut studio album by American singer Pru. It was released on November 7, 2000, through Capitol Records. Music critics described the album as crossing multiple genres, with several commentators connecting the singer with a movement of neo soul performers. Apart from the sound, Pru was also noted for using poetry as an inspiration for writing music. After its release, critics wrote generally positive reviews of the album, praising its composition and Pru's voice. The album peaked at number 176 on the Billboard 200 chart. Two singles were released, "Candles" and "Aaroma (of a Man)".

I have looked through other featured articles on albums to prepare this article for the FAC process. I am not entirely sure how I heard about this record (I think I just randomly found it while browsing the iTunes Store), but I enjoyed working on an article about a relatively unknown/overlooked work. Just for clarification, I do not believe that a separate article is necessary for Pru, as this album appears to be the only notable (according to Wikipedia standards) aspects of her career. Following the release of the album, she has appeared to drop from public attention.

I believe that this fulfills all aspects of the featured article criteria. Hopefully, this nomination will inspire more people to put up more obscure music-related articles through the FAC process. I look forward to everyone’s feedback. Thank you in advance! Aoba47 (talk) 14:05, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

• There are two images in the article (one in infobox). Both of them are well-relevant and have proper description templates. One is under CC and the other qualifies for fair use. No issues anywhere; good great to go! Adityavagarwal (talk) 14:20, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

• Thank you for the review! I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your day. Aoba47 (talk) 14:21, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Wow, that was quick. Same to you! Adityavagarwal (talk) 14:23, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

@FAC coordinators: Hello again. I was wondering if I could withdraw this nomination as I will be extremely busy with real life work/personal projects for the foreseeable future, and will not have the time to fully commit to an FAC, especially one that is just starting from scratch. Thank you in advance, and I am very grateful for the FAC community as I learned a lot about writing and revising and interacted with a lot of cool users. Aoba47 (talk) 04:10, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

• Closing note: This candidate has been withdrawn, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FAC/ar, and leave the {{featured article candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Ian Rose (talk) 09:13, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
