Ariana Grande discography

 * Nominator(s): U990467 (talk)

I am nominating this for featured list because other editors and I have spent a lot of time collecting information in the hope of making the page more complete. I think that it has already been a FL-quality list. Thank You. U990467 (talk) 12:46, 15 July 2016 (UTC)


 * U990467, this article is a list, so it will never go through to FAC. FLC (where you are) is the right place for it, as long as it is ready for the final polishing that the nomination process can provide. In other words, this is not the right place to look for feedback: this is where you come after feedback, or if you think that page is at the right level to become part of our featured content. Are you sure you want to put this though the FL process at this stage? - SchroCat (talk) 13:53, 15 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Support. I just made an edit on the refs, but that's about it. Also, most of the ref URLs in this article were probably crawled by the Wayback Machine by now so you won't have that much of a hard time archiving them here. Chihciboy (talk) 21:46, 20 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment – It's inconsistent with the rest of this page to have one instance of "U.S." in prose, but then in columns to have "US", without full stops. Usually little instances like these are picked up or noted as being inconsistent by reviewers; I don't know why this hasn't. The page is not perfect yet, sure, but inconsistency over things like this are usually noticed before now. (Wikipedia discographies are moving away from including "U.S." in columns, as this is inconsistent with the naming scheme of UK and other acronyms, so I don't think that's the solution.)

 * I looked into the MOS:U.S., since Grande is an American, it is probably recommended that the American variety of English be used for the whole article (per MOS:TIES). Chihciboy (talk) 09:53, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm well aware of what style of English should be used on which page. However, nobody uses "U.S." in chart columns anymore, and this is not done on any featured discography I can find. I don't know why this page would or should be an exception, considering most modern American artists' discographies do not use "U.S." Why "U.S." and not "U.K."? Why "U.S." and not "R.I.A.A."? We get it's an acronym; the periods are pointless, regardless of MOS. I'm sure even if you "recommended" such a change, it would be removed by another editor. One form should be consistent across the entire article, and currently "U.S." at the top of the article is the inconsistent use. The "probably recommended" part is very disregarded in modern music usage.  Ss 112  21:11, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree that "US" in the columns should be kept without the periods and a consistency must be used. Seeing that the first abbreviation was used prior to any mention of the words "United States" in the article (and using US/U.S. may be too informal as other countries are consistently mentioned throughout the article without abbreviation per the MOS), U990467 may consider changing "... debut on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100" to "... debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States" and "... managed to reach the top ten in the US" to "... managed to reach the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100" as well as rephrasing "... simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100" to "... simultaneously on the chart".

 * Comment: I noticed a few inconsistencies. In the top section, when song chartings are mentioned, there was mention of one of Grande's songs reaching number one, but instead of it being typed out in full syntax as with the other mentions of her song chartings, it was stylized as No. 1. Also the datings in the references aren't all in the same formatting, which may effect it going to FLC. FanofMusic  (Talk to Me!)  19:28, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment – I see major issues with the Lead section here. Its at a whopping 648 words, which is too much for an artist who has been around for just a few years now, and is going to release many more records to come. This needs to be streamlined right now else we are looking at corruption of quality if ever the page was listed as a FL. The current lead delves too much into specifics, especially with the para for My Everything. Please reduce it and check FLs like Lady Gaga discography to understand how to streamline the prose, so that it does not include too many detail, but still presents Grande's discography. — I B  [ Poke  ] 08:58, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
