The Soft Parade

 * ... that The Soft Parade is the first Doors album not to credit the members of the band collectively on songs?

 * Symbol question.svg Nomination made two days after achieving GA status, so new enough.  It's a GA, so of course it's long enough!  (but I'll check anyway... let's see.... 11KB far exceeds the 1500b requirement, check.)  Article is neutrally written.  Each paragraph within the article body has multiple inline citations.  No copyright violations detected by either Earwig's tool or myself.  The only hit Earwig returned was from a direct, brief, and attributed quote, so ok there.  The hook is within formatting guidelines.  Hook is directly cited, AGF on offline source.  QPQ complete.  No image to check against.  The only issue is a minor quibble.  The hook says it is the "first album" not to credit the Doors collectively.  The article, more correctly, says it is the "first Doors album" not to credit the Doors collectively.  A literal interpretation of the hook would be wrong, as I doubt Mendelssohn's Concerto in E Minor performed Nathan Milstein, generally considered the first LP (1948), credited the Doors either individually or collectively.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 16:40, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * that actually is a good catch. I adjusted the hook accordingly. Let me know if it works out.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 17:29, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg That fixes it. Hook is now factually correct.  This interesting article is ready for and deserves mainpage exposure.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 18:33, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Note regarding age of article, it achieved "GA" status on April 26, so it really should be listed under that date, not April 15. This should in no way affect this article's promotion.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 18:47, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
