Music of the Lesser Antilles[edit]

Notified: TUF-KAT, WP Caribbean, WP Trinidad and Tobago, WP African diaspora, 2020-11-01

Review section[edit]

The nominator of this 2006 promotion has not edited for over a decade, and this article has not been maintained to standards. See this list from 2020-11-01; I can provide more if someone engages to improve the article. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:43, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

The sourcing is pretty dodgy, as well.

Unconvinced that the website for Paradise Inn Curriacou is a high-quality RS.
From a quick spot check, the claim "The leading figure in the promotion of the Cadence-lypso was the Dominican group Exile One" is not supported by the source, which only states that it (as well as another group) were popular Dominican bands from the genre.
Kizombalove.com is probably not RS
Ditto with funkyorgan.
Formatting issues abound
It looks like there's a lot of accretion of text into previously cited spots that probably aren't supported by the sources.

Other comments

A lot of this article is incomprehensible to a non-expert. Like SandyGeorgia, I was unable to figure out what kadans is from this article.
Honestly, some of the Exile One details seem kinda spammy.
In general, there's a lot of claims of what bands are popular, but they all seem to be rather promotional.

Sound clips

I have doubts that WP:NFCC really is okay with having four audio clips as minimal use, but I'm not an expert in this area. A copyright expert would be needed to look at this. However, I have checked the two audio clips in the British Antilles section, and both are too long. I got the song lengths off of Amazon, and if those song lengths are correct, both clips exceed the maximum length from the chart at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Music samples. Both are under 5:00 in length it seems, so the 30 second clips are too long. Didn't check the other two audio files.

Yeah, so this is nowhere close. Hog Farm _Bacon 05:46, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Closing note: This removal candidate has been delisted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please leave the {{featured article review}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. (yes normally we'd leave this in FARC for two weeks but consensus is clear and a list cleanup might make for more focus on saveable articles) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:57, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
