Another Latin music hall of fame, this time focusing on songwriters. I just wanted this article to see if it can pass FL or not. Erick (talk) 02:47, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments from AJona1992
  • Since there are years correlating to Latin music, why not link 2012 in Latin music in the lead?
  • "they must have a composed a" - remove the extra a, a
  • Link hit song
  • Did the ceremony specify the song(s) for which the composers were honored for? – jona ✉ 23:00, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Erick these comments have been here nearly a week, are you intending to address them? Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:28, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Rambling Man, Hey sorry, I've been more busier in life than usual. I'll work on it this Saturday. Erick (talk) 02:13, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, just checking it was still a going concern. The Rambling Man (talk) 02:17, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
AJona1992 Had time to kill today so I went ahead and addressed everything you brought up. I don't know if it's necessary to link "x year in Latin music", so that's the only thing I haven't touched. Thanks for the review as always buddy! =D EDIT: Oh yeah, the inductees (especially for 2013) doesn't specify the songs that were selected for the inductees.

I support promotion to FL, even though I would have liked 2012 in Latin music to have been linked in the lead; especially since the award was created in that year. Overall, great article – jona ✉ 19:07, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm afraid that I don't think this article is at FL level just yet.

  • The biggest sticking point for me is the lack of references – nine is far fewer than I would expect to see in a list of this type (List of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, for example, has 158 citations, while List of inductees of Canada's Walk of Fame has 159). A Google Books search for "Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame" returns 407 results – could any of these be used for references?
  • Beefing up the references would also beef up the lead, which, in my opinion, is very brief. By my count the prose portion of this article is 1,328 characters, which wouldn't qualify it for DYK, never mind FL – this suggests to me that the article is not as comprehensive as it needs to be. Additionally, everything up to and including "and the United States." is about the LSHOF in general, and only from "Nominees for the..." does the lead actually start discussing the inductees. Obviously it's perfectly fine to provide some background about the LSHOF, but it means that the total prose on the actual inductees comes to less than 600 characters. Is there nothing more that can be said about them?
  • There isn't a massive amount of content in Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame either – I'm wondering whether it might be worth merging the two articles.
  • The images in the table are pretty large, and they jump between two different widths. I think it would be preferable to keep the images at one consistent, small width (75px would be fine, for example).
  • All the images need alt text.
  • "NBC Latino" and "Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame" don't need to be italicised in the references.

@A Thousand Doors: Well when you put that way, I guess that makes sense. Especially after looking at the FL articles you cited as examples. I'll go ahead and withdraw this nomination until I figure what I can do in the meantime. Erick (talk) 12:17, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
