Music of the Lesser Antilles

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

Review section
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. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  01:43, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

The sourcing is pretty dodgy, as well.
 * Sourcing
 * 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 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)

(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)
