Alexandra Stan discography

 * Nominator(s): Cartoon network freak (talk) 17:12, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe the article is well-referenced and well-written. Nearly all the pages that link here are archived, so that the needed information can be also seen if the citation is "dead". I tried to do my best for adjusting the article's lead and citation style. Thanks in advance!

Oppose for a number of problems
 * "The discography of Romanian recording artist Alexandra Stan consists of" is quite a mouthful, I'd recommend "Romanian singer Alexandra Stan has released"


 * I'm pretty sure what critics think of "Lollipop (Param Pam Pam)" belongs in its own article and Stan's main bio rather than here, and "bad reviews" isn't really appropriate tone


 * "hit" is too informal


 * Why is the Billboard Hot 100 mentioned in the lead when chartings in the US aren't listed in the tables?


 * "in countries like" is unnecessary, just go with "in"


 * "in August of 2014" → "in August 2014"


 * iTunes rankings shouldn't be included per WP:BADCHARTS


 * The "M" in AllMusic should be capitalized


 * Only "Billboard" in Billboard Hot 100 should be italicized


 * "abcmuzical.ro" → "abcMuzical"


 * "profm.ro" → "Pro FM"


 * "dcnews.ro" → "DC News"


 * Not sure if this is reliable
 * "ZPAV" should link to Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry


 * "top40-charts.com" → Top40-Charts


 * "austriancharts.at" → "Austrian Charts"


 * "Finnishcharts.com" → "Finnish Charts"


 * "lescharts.com" → "French Charts"


 * "Charts.de" from the GfK Entertainment ref is unnecessary


 * "Not sure if "MAHASZ" is needed for the Association of Hungarian Record Companies, but it shouldn't be italicized either way


 * "mediapromusic.ro" → "Media Pro Music"


 * Don't italicize IFPI, which should link to International Federation of the Phonographic Industry


 * "FIMI" shouldn't have italics and isn't needed for the Federation of the Italian Music Industry refs


 * "spanishcharts.com" → "Spanish Charts"


 * "Schweizer Hitparade" only needs to be included once within a reference, and should link to Swiss Hitparade


 * "ziarulring.ro" → "Ziarul Ring"


 * The "U" should be capitalized for "urban.ro"


 * "ziaruloval.ro" → "Ziarul Oval"


 * "radio21.ro" → "Radio 21"


 * "wowbiz.ro" → "Wow Biz"


 * "kfetele.com" → "Kfetele"


 * "romanialibera.ro" → "Romania libera"


 * "libertatea.ro" → "Liber Tatea"


 * "life.hotnews.ro" → "Hot News"


 * I'm not convinced "Star Gossip Magazine" is reliable
 * I also don't know exactly. Maybe, I can talk with another user about it.


 * "musiq.ro" → "Musiq"


 * "tophitru.com" → "Top Hit"


 * "e-wow.ro" → "EWow"

Sorry, but this isn't ready to be FL at the moment. Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:17, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello again Snuggums, I implemented all the changes you requested! Cartoon network freak (talk) 20:28, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Looking through again, there's more:
 * You state that "Cherry Pop" and "Dance" were successful in Japan, but since I'm not really familiar with Oricon's ranking system, I don't know if this is an accurate description given how "Cherry Pop" reached 64. Is this a ranking of Top 100 like the Billboard Hot 100 and Canadian Hot 100? Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:36, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Regarding the lead's listing of rankings Turkey, Poland, and Argentina, either implement these in the chart or replace them with other nations listed.
 * WP:WikiProject Discographies/style recommends listing up to 10 nations in the tables. There are currently 11. I'd personally use the ones she has had the most success on.
 * While it does look better now, you haven't answered whether http://www.numberone.com.tr/tr/muzik/number-one-top-40/index.2.html is reliable (or how it is reliable). Snuggums</b> (<b style="color:#454545">talk</b> / <b style="color:#454545">edits</b>) 05:36, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * All done! In Japan, there are two singles charts: Oricon Singles Chart and Japan Hot 100. Actually, we use the Japan Hot 100, which is a related chart from the Billboard Hot 100, because there she has had more peaks on. Cartoon network freak (talk) 05:56, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I see. Anyway, please tell me whether numberone.com is reliable (provide reasons if so), and I'd also leave out "Cherry Pop" from the lead since number 64 out of 100 isn't really successful compared to "Dance", which reached the top 30, or even anything that makes the top 40. <b style="color:#454545">Snuggums</b> (<b style="color:#454545">talk</b> / <b style="color:#454545">edits</b>) 06:59, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Removed "commercially successful". numberone.com is reliable, as it replaced the Billboard-related Turkish Singles Chart after it ceased its publication. Cartoon network freak (talk) 07:49, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Well done. Now I can support this. <b style="color:#454545">Snuggums</b> (<b style="color:#454545">talk</b> / <b style="color:#454545">edits</b>) 14:41, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks man! So, is it already a FL, or do we have to wait for a second opinion? Happy HalloweenΔ!Δ (talk) 15:03, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
 * FL candidates need at least three supports to pass and have to resolve all major concerns of reviewers. <b style="color:#454545">Snuggums</b> (<b style="color:#454545">talk</b> / <b style="color:#454545">edits</b>) 16:59, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
