I've really ummed and ahhed over nominating this article. Do I really want to be known as that guy who literally spent his free time writing a Wikipedia article about sexy women? Well, whatever, I think it's basically at FL standard, so why not? The layout of this article is largely based on NME's Cool List (currently a FL). I welcome any and all feedback.

Comments from Nergaal[edit]

  • list needs a section on those present multiple times in top10. Nergaal (talk) 21:49, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Does the article really need that? I'm not convinced, I'm afraid. I can maybe see including a section on who has featured in the most Top 100s, but why just the Top 10s? If some other source listed that information, then I'd be okay with including it, but, as it is, I'm concerned that it skates a little too close to original research for me.

  • Some kind of coverage on people who have been listed multiple times (regardless of whether it's top 10 or top 100) would be interesting. However, it's not the kind of thing I would withhold support over.
  • "Subsequent winners included the Russian tennis player Anna Kournikova" - Is there any reason why Anna is mentioned in the lead? I mean, as opposed to all the other people who have won. I get mentioning the first and last winner, and I get mentioning Berry and Lopez since there's some commentary about their wins. Mentioning Anna for no apparent reason seems a bit selective to me.
  • I guess it was a bit selective. I just picked her because I didn't want it to seem like only Brits and Americans had topped the list. Now replaced with Cheryl Cole – is that any better? A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 13:20, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Honestly this seems to be much of a muchness; now I'm wondering why Cheryl Cole is being mentioned in the lead considering there doesn't appear to be anything unique about her entry either. I won't withhold support over this though.
  • I was thinking that she's the only other person to top the listing more than once. I've added a note to clarify this. Thank you for the support, Freikorp! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 16:24, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Lopez was the first to top it more than once" - Is she still the only person to have topped it more than once? This should be clarified to the reader.
  • Since Kimberly Stewart has her own Wikipedia article, I see no reason to introduce her as Rod Stewart's daughter in the lead
  • "former features editor" - just clarifying this is correct? I note it could be but thought it may have been a typo of "featured" also
  • I've rewatched the documentary that Daubney featured in, and the on-screen title introduces him as the "Features editor". A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 13:20, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'FHM also occasionally published a "Most Eligible Bachelorettes"' - I wouldn't say they published it occasionally, i'd say they published it for two consecutive years.

Looks really good. Will be happy to support this once minor issues are addressed. Freikorp (talk) 04:08, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A Thousand Doors these comments have been here three or so weeks without any response, would you like to address them or should I archive the nomination? The Rambling Man (talk) 18:23, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies for my absence, comments now addressed. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 13:20, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from ChrisTheDude[edit]

  • Support although it's worth clarifying why Cheryl is mentioned in the lead (second multi-time winner). Until you realise that, it seems a bit random that she's picked out for special mention.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:46, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Yashthepunisher[edit]

  • In ref 1, 23 and 34, FHM is piped to a redirect.
  • Make sure all the images have alt text.
  • I think their should be a caption for the FHM image.
    • I had considered this, but the only caption that would be appropriate would be something like "FHM logo". But the image is obviously a logo, and it says FHM, so it seemed to me that a caption like that would be a little redundant. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 09:54, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lead
  • Cheryl Cole used only "Cheryl" as her stage name now, so this should be revised
  • is the actress Gal Gadot. → Maybe it's worth mentioning her nationality
  • to celebrate qualities such as "talent, star quality and cash" → quotes in the lead always need a citation
  • To commemorate the 10th → numbers under 11 should be written out, so it should be "tenth" here
  • two one-off charts → this is vague a vague term
  • to recognise the sexiest women up to those points → you should somehow clarify that the lists were decade-end and all-time charts, respectively
  • Rachel Stevens → nationality
  • The image of FHM's logo shouldn't be used in this article per WP:FUR, which implies that logos should only be used in the articles about the organizations (in this case magazines) they belong to.
    • According to the licensing description for this image over at Wikimedia Commons, the logo doesn't meet the threshold of originality, since it consists only of simple geometric shapes or text, so it can be used in Wikipedia articles. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 11:02, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are you sure the final printed issue was distributed in January 2016? The FHM article says it was in December 2015; just asking...
History
  • The first 100 Sexiest Women list was published in 1995, and was compiled exclusively by a panel of 250 judges; the German supermodel Claudia Schiffer topped the inaugural list → To avoid word repetition: The first 100 Sexiest Women list, compiled excusively by a panel of 250 judges, was published in 1995 topped by the German supermodel Claudia Schiffer.
  • with its companion issue → what is a "companion issue"? Maybe I'm dumb, but I never heard of this term
  • Porter was placed at number eight in the chart → Porter was placed at number eight in that year's chart (to further clarify which year we're in)
  • The first person to top the 100 Sexiest list more than once → Why is there no "...Women" anymore?
  • nationality and occupation of Jennifer Lopez
  • Link "Anna Kournikova" and "Halle Berry"
  • the most successful poll to that point → how do you define "successful" here?
  • Brook has been featured in the Top 10 → Brook has been featured in the top ten
  • the androgynous model Andrej Pejic → I think transgender is a more well-known term for readers (for me as well)
    • This is obviously a delicate issue. At the time, Pejic wasn't identifying as female (not openly, at least). She was working (and was promoted) as an androgynous male model, so none of the sources at the time described her as transgender. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 11:02, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe the nationality of Pejic is relevant
    • Hmm.... "androgynous Australian model" or "Australian androgynous model"? That seems like one too many adjectives to me. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 11:02, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • when the entry's accompanying blurb → by "blurb", do you mean something like a paragraph about the nominee? If so, then please reword this if possible
100 Sexiest Women winners
  • Cheryl Cole is known as simply "Cheryl" nowadays, so that should be revised
  • Also, Beyoncé Knowles is known as only "Beyoncé"
    • In both these cases (and others), I've listed the top tens based on how the women were known at the time (e.g. Louise Nurding until 1998, Louise Redknapp onwards; Cheryl Tweedy until 2006, Cheryl Cole onwards). This is how the women were named in all the sources detailing that year's list. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 11:02, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Most Eligible Bachelorettes
Anniversary lists
  • to mark the anniversary of the 100 Sexiest Women → plural, since there were two anniversaries
  • published a list of the 50 sexiest women → better wording: "published a list ranking the 50 sexiest women..."
  • On learning the result, she remarked: "To win this award feels absolutely amazing. ... It's brilliant." → This winning reaction is not really relevant to the article and should be removed
    • I dunno, I just felt that it provided some context to how the winner felt about receiving the honour, and therefore was somewhat relevant. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 11:02, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Notes

Comments
  • I don't like the frameless, captionless icon at the top of the page. It would be better to have the current holder of the title rather than the relatively meaningless icon.
  • How about both? The way I see it, the logo is free to use and is an easy way to identify the magazine, so we may as well make use of it while we have it available to us. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 09:12, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "annual listing compiled by the ... magazine FHM. The list is compiled by the magazine each year based" you've basically said the same thing twice.
  • "...a 60 ft naked image of Gail Porter (pictured)..." -> "...a 60 ft (18 m) naked image of Gail Porter (pictured)..."
  • I would have thought there was a very good argument for a fair use image of Porter projected on the Palace of Westminster...
  • Emmanuelle Beart has an accent.
  •  Done
  • Jordan is piped to a redirect.
  • I've had a couple of people make this kind of comment, but I really don't see why it's such an issue. My reading of WP:NOPIPE is that piping to redirects is acceptable. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 09:12, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cheryl Tweedy/Cheryl Cole need to be piped consistently and correctly.
  • Marissa Miller has just one s in her first name.
  • You could easily make the images larger since the 2 to 10 places make each row depth quite substantial.
  •  Done
  • Daily Mail is not considered a WP:RS.
