List of songs by "Weird Al" Yankovic[edit]

Concerns from the previous nomination have been addressed, and I think it's ready for featured status. ~ Gromreaper 03:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - it has a number of [citation needed]. Also tiny lead, bad reference format, better formating for song listing is needed (one list is in table, the other is not). Renata 15:08, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Sorry, Grom, but it's not even close. There are sixteen "cite needed" tags, and as Renata pointed out, the lead is short and list formatting is odd. In particular, the "Songs not commercially released" section is not good at all; saying "All of these songs are confirmed. Most are listed on Yankovic's website." is not nearly enough. If we don't have physical proof that the song exists, we need citations for every song. If Weird Al's site mentions the song, link to the specific page of his site; otherwise, find a reliable source which notes the song's existence. Otherwise, there's no reason for anyone to believe that a song actually exists and is not misattributed. -- Kicking222 23:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also, for the listing of references, the note about Straight Outta Lynwood should be made into proper references (i.e. 7a, 7b, 7c, etc.), and references 3 and 6 are the same article, so I don't see why they shouldn't be 3a and 3b. -- Kicking222 23:27, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
