Beyoncé Knowles discography

Nominator(s): Jivesh • Talk2Me 13:26, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because i am a great fan of Beyonce, i have been working a lot on her discography and i sincerely want it to be promoted to FL. I started with this and ended up with this. I will be very happy to fix any issues you will post. Thank you. Jivesh • Talk2Me 13:26, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral and moral support, because I'm involved in many ways with the subject and nominator, but I can comment. For some reason six discographies are listed now at FLC and I prefer to comment here about its issues, there are some of them: Tbhotch* ^{۩ ۞} 05:40, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

;General

some links may need a fix

I fixed some of them. As for the Pandora Archives, this problem has always existed. I think what really matters is that they are working, right? Jivesh • Talk2Me 11:32, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The connection timeout error with the riaa.com links may only be temporary. Jivesh • Talk2Me 11:34, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As for links fixed using the http://replay.waybackmachine.org, they take time to open, but at least they are not dead links. Jivesh • Talk2Me 11:36, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since the copyholder of the image File:Beyonce sings Listen.jpg has changed its license to a stronger, you have to add the template {{Flickr-change-of-license}} to it (on Commons). Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 11:30, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

"the number one spot on the US Billboard 200" -> It is the first time you mention the country, expand it Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 11:30, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"and nearly twenty-five million" -> Consistency needed Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 11:30, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album" -> to avoid future linking I recommend you to change it to "won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album. Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 11:30, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"six singles," -> overlinked Done Jivesh • Talk2Me 11:30, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Personal note: I think that United States, US and Destiny Child are used many times, synonyms may exist.

I think they are not used so many times. Let it remain. Jivesh • Talk2Me 11:30, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, no problem. Tbhotch* ^{۩ ۞}

Will add more comments if I'll find any.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫T 11:37, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Im sorry but im going to oppose this article for now. (Not to all concerned i was asked to comment here, this is in noway a violation of canvas as ive talked to this user maybe once and ive never edited a Beyonce article before.) - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 20:42, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia:LEAD#Length "As a general guideline, the lead should be no longer than four paragraphs." Current length is 6, it needs to be trimmed.
- Beyoncé_Knowles_discography#Live_albums i really dont know what to make of this, 10 cols should be the maximum, anyone reviewing have any suggestions because its current form, to put it bluntly its a mess (no offense intended).
- Beyoncé_Knowles_discography#Remix_albums US:14,000 ---> US: 14,000
- Beyoncé_Knowles_discography#Other_releases Notes need sources.
- WP:MOS#DATE Version: 2010-09-21 or Version: April 5, 2011, not both. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 20:42, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The lead is needs a lot more to make it to FL status. The article is currently on its way, but is not there. As mentioned above, the lead compromises of too many short paragraphs. It is awkwardly structured as a summary detailing the overall success of her career should be placed last. For examples, see Madonna albums discography, Madonna singles discography, Mariah Carey albums discography, Mariah Carey singles discography, Taylor Swift discography. There is a lot of irrelevant information about Grammy Awards, which are better suited for List of awards and nominations received by Beyoncé Knowles. First week sales of albums are not important. The lead should primarily discuss overall album sales and records. There is irrelevant information about the musical genres of I Am... Sasha Fierce. Not enough information is given about the album's success. The upcoming album is discussed too much, when there is not even a title or a single released. The countries for the peaks should remain the same and there should be ten at most. As to say, pick the ten most important charts and stick to them. Any other charts are left to to the album and singles pages. Some certifications don't have the countries the same as with the peaks. For example, in studio albums, the peaks has "AUS" for Australia, but the certification have "AU". Make them the same. There are also other minor issues with the lead and other sections. Bottom line the article is heavy need for a long peer review before it could be nominated again as there is too much to be done. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 22:41, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So do you all mean that i should go into details about the chart performance of the albums as well as their respective singles? Jivesh • Talk2Me 08:08, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Beyonce has only one discography page, compromising of both her albums and singles not like Madonna and Mariah Carey. Jivesh • Talk2Me 08:19, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am re-writing the lead. When i first wrote the lead. Jivesh • Talk2Me 08:26, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am withdrawing. I thank everybody whose comments have been helpful. Jivesh • Talk2Me 12:22, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
