Christgau's record guides[edit]
Christgau's record guides are a series of decade-encompassing music reference books collecting album reviews by American music critic Robert Christgau, originally written mostly for his "Consumer Guide" column in The Village Voice. Published in three iterations spanning the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, they are popular and influential works in the fields of music journalism and popular music studies during the album era.

There are at least three articles of a clear similarity with no gap in covering the topic - the book series - which is summarized in their leads. Each article is of high quality, similar structure, and common infobox, which links them together for navigation. --isento (talk) 16:25, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose: Unfortunately, this proposal appears to me to fail more than one of the FT/GT Criteria. It fails criterion 1(c) by having no shared category, though it might make sense to create one and put them in. More importantly, it fails criterion 2 by having no top-level summary article. There would need to be a good/featured article about the series of record guides as a whole, indicating why the series as a whole was notable and citing coverage of the importance and impact of the series as a whole, to serve as the main article of this topic before it could be promoted. If such an article can be created and recognized as good, then this will be a credible nomination. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 17:05, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Regretful oppose as per the above - this is certainly a group of articles, but it isn't a topic, because it has no overarching lead article on the topic as a whole -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:21, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
