I am nominating this for featured list because Georgia Peachez has put a lot of work into the article which seems to now be up to FL standards as it closely resembles other lists of its kind which are currently considered FL class. All feedback is appreciated. WikiGuy86 (talk) 17:17, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support Oppose. References are not formated properly. Each reference should have title, author, publisher and date of publication and other fields if appropriate. Currently many of them are just bare web links. Ruslik_Zero 15:50, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know why I hadn't done that already. I noticed they weren't all done but thought I could get away with it. LOL, so much for that. Fixed. WikiGuy86 (talk) 05:55, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you also change all spaced hyphens to spaced endashes (or unspaced mdashes if you prefer) in the reflist? Ruslik_Zero 19:40, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, come on, that's too much! Just kidding. Done. WikiGuy86 (talk) 22:01, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- I don't see the necessity to link artist in 'hip hop artist' in the first sentence, or is their a reason?
- "his second win in a row " --> "his second consecutive win"
- "In 2005, he received one award from 13 nominations, his second win in a row for Best Street Anthem, this time for the song "U Don't Know Me" at the Vibe Awards." -> "In 2005, he received one award from 13 nominations, that being his second consecutive Best Street Anthem award, this time for the song "U Don't Know Me"."
- "T.I. earned his first Grammy nomination for Best Rap Solo Performance for "U Don't Know Me" at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards. He received 15 wins from 37 nominations in 2006," - the latter sentence should be first, since it explains his overall nominations for the year in which the 48th Grammy's took place.
- The lead seems really biased towards the Grammys: yes they are one of the supreme awarding bodies, but they shouldn't be treated as if they outline his career. Ie. stating them first before the other ones.
- "second year straight" - needs rewording.
- "Currently" --> "Overall"
- Is there a way to collapse the infobox, mainly the awards?
- "T.I. has won two awards from his eight nominations." -- no need for "his" [for all others as well]
- Is there a way to state "T.I." as "self"? or something related? In addition, no need to link his name when this article is about him.
- "The Billboard Music Awards are sponsored by Billboard magazine and is held annually in December." link to the magazine
- "He won every rap award possible at the 2006 Billboard awards" (reword that sentence to <-- that)
- Link to About.com and MTV in the publishers.--Truco 503 22:44, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Several sections of awards and nominations lack references (MTV Japan, Spike Guys' Choice Awards, and the last two). Also, what makes the following reliable sources?
- About.com (many references). It is seldom considered a reliable source for anything. I see these are all related to awards. Why not cite the awards' websites directly, instead of using a third-party website of uncertain reliability?
- http://www.huliq.com/ (ref 4)
- http://www.blacktalentnews.com/ (ref 5)
- http://www.accessallareas.net.au/ (ref 24)
- http://hotmusicbeat.com/ (ref 26)
- http://www.tjsdjs.com/ (ref 27)
- http://backseatcuddler.com/ (ref 32)
- http://www.tvsquad.com/ (ref 33)
One things most of these have in common is that they are being used to cite awards and nominations. Again, why are official award websites not being used for these? If they don't have information on past awards, why not try to find the information on sites of better reliability? Sorry, but I don't believe this will be ready for FL until these sourcing issues are addressed. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:24, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
