I am nominating this for featured list because... me and Status (talk · contribs) think this list satisfies the criteria. We cut it from the original, Ricky Martin discography and totally re-worked the tables which were a mess and wrote a fully new lead. To everyone who opposes please state some comments so we can improve the list. Thank you:) — Tomíca(T2ME) 07:40, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to add a note that we also plan on doing Ricky Martin singles discography after this FLC has been completed. Ricky Martin discography will then just contain a link to both pages. — Status (talk · contribs) 22:09, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from WikiRedactor[edit]

  • Please add alternate text to the picture of Ricky Martin in the infobox.
  • Toolserver seems to be down right now, so I will come back to check if there are any disambiguation/external links that need work.

Everything else looks to be in order; you have a nice collection of reliable sources, and the introduction is well-written. I'll come back to leave my final comments after Toolserver is up and running again. WikiRedactor (talk) 15:28, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for the heads up! It looks like all of the links were in order anyway, so I give you my support. Good work! WikiRedactor (talk) 20:35, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Erick[edit]

Resolved comments from Erick (talk) 15:11, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is a comment.*"Despite both albums failing to enter any national charts, they pushed Martin towards superstar status in many Latin American countries." Well, Ricky Martin did rank at number 5 on the Latin Pop Albums chart. The album came out before the overall Top Latin Albums chart was established on June 1993. Maybe mention this on the prose and, if necessary, put a footnote on the table?
  • "The album features a "harder rock edge style" than his previous efforts, while being mixed with Latin music references such as flamenco and cumbia." Link "Latin music" as well.
  • Maybe mention Vuelve being the highest-selling Latin album of 1999 in the US? Source on page 72
  • No mention of the chart performance for La Historia or The Best of Ricky Martin? If they're not needed for FLCs, then ignore this.
  • "and received a platinum Latin certification by RIAA, indicating shipments of over 100,000 copies in the country" How about "and received a platinum certification in the Latin field by RIAA"? I also think you should link "Latin field" to RIAA certification#Spanish as done with the table.
I made a small mistake, I forgot to put "the" before RIAA. My bad!
  • "Worldwide, Ricky Martin has sold over 22 million copies," as of when?
  • As of April 2011, added it in the article. — Tomíca(T2ME) 13:50, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • No sales available for his other albums? I remember seeing sales for Vuelve so I can help out looking for sales. Erick (talk) 04:06, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • We had trouble finding sources for the sales. Would be great if you could find some! — Status (talk · contribs) 12:08, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks @Magiciandude: for the helpful comments. I believe everything is resolved in the way you wanted it to. And we are expecting the sales links if you find something ;). — Tomíca(T2ME) 13:50, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • Found sales for Best of Ricky Martin as of 2010. Found sales for his first album and Me Amarás as of 1999 though. A Medio Vivir and Vuelve as of 2013 Sound Loaded sales of as of 2003 Almas del Silencio sales of 2006. Some US sales. I haven't found Life or his latest albums yet. Erick (talk) 21:02, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • Added all the sales, apart of the ahoranoticias.cl one. It doesn't open the page, probably the site is down at the moment. Will try again later. — Tomíca(T2ME) 22:27, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Magiciandude: Erick, something is wrong with the source and the whole site. For some reason it doesn't open for me, so I can't add the sales for A Medio Vivir and Vuelve :/. — Tomíca(T2ME) 23:25, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very good job! While I'm still looking for sales for the latest albums, I found these compilation albums that were only released in Latin America. Mis Favoritas a CD+DVD greatest hits, and Frente a Frente, a collection of Martin and Chayanne's greatest hits. EDIT: Found Vuelve US sales. Erick (talk) 00:31, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Everything from the last statement added in the list by Status. ;) — Tomíca(T2ME) 10:33, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Musica + Alma + Sexo sales. Also, the US sales for Vuelve are accidentally posted on A Medio Vivir and the RIAA reference needs to be in this format: "Martin, Ricky" (quotations included). I recommend using the Certification cite template. Erick (talk) 05:26, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Done added everything and fixed references. But, I am not familiar with using the {{Certification cite}} as long as it's not in a table. Can you do it ? — Tomíca(T2ME) 15:39, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • US sales for the rest of albums until MTV Unplugged. I still can't find the sales for Life. Anyhow, once the rest of the US sales are posted, I'll give list my support. Erick (talk) 12:41, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I added all the sales in the reference. In this post I would like to thank you @Magiciandude: for all the contribution you gave to the list particularly in the sales. You are appreciated! — Tomíca(T2ME) 15:08, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Aw, it was nothing. It's what I do! ;) Anyways, as promised, I now give my support for this list. Erick (talk) 15:11, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from IndianBio[edit]

Starting comments: By IndianBio

  • Why are there inconsistencies between the sales representation? Some of them have the decimal representation and some of them the whole expansion, like 287,000 versus 6.9 million. Ideally it should either be 287,000 vs 6,900,000 or 0.287m vs 6.9 m. Please follow this.

@IndianBio: Thank you for your comments. Went with the former. — Status (talk · contribs) 18:01, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for doing that @Status:, the article now has my support in getting promoted to Featured status. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 06:48, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks IndianBio! — Status (talk · contribs) 19:50, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Query why can't you have both albums and singles in one article? This one just has 23 items.—indopug (talk) 20:56, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Indopug: Mariah Carey albums discography, for example, has the same amount of entries. Tomica and I are developing a singles discography in his sandbox, which has ~50 entries. — Status (talk · contribs) 21:05, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
