Eazy-E discography

 * Nominator(s): Crowz  RSA  01:50, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I (obviously) think it meets the criteria. I only recently started working on the article, and the text and stuff just came about. So yeahhh, Crowz  RSA  01:50, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comments:
 * need delinking of US and R&B in the paragraphs Extended Plays and Compilations-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 08:15, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I delinked US and R&B but I don't see why Extended Plays and Compilations need to be delinked. Crowz  RSA  01:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I would recommend you to add a See also template at the top.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 08:18, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Done
 * Thank you for your comments! Crowz  RSA  01:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Comments - Consistency issues with the use of US. Also the Singles doesn't have the forced break for US R&B. Also I'm interested in knowing why there are question marks in the directors column of the music video section. On Ref 9 I'm incredibly confused about "Up for Discussion Jump to Forums.". Ref 14 has a consistency issue with one of the date. Ref 4 doesn't have the Cite web template. Afro  ( Don't Call Me Shirley ) 17:34, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The reason there are question marks as directors is because no sources gave information about the director. Many featured discographies (Slayer discography, Aaliyah discography, Audioslave discography, and several more) have question marks/other indicators that the director is unknown. Also, citation templates are not required per WP:CITE and WP:FN. The rest has been fixed. Thanks! Crowz  RSA  01:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well you use the Cite web template already in the article all I'm doing is pointing out an Inconsistency with the format for references. Afro  ( Don't Call Me Shirley ) 09:26, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay well, I changed it to the citation template. Crowz  RSA  22:25, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Ref 4 and 7 don't use cite web. To cutback on space you're better adding these "style="text-align:center;"" to the top of the table code and sort out the coding for the very select cells this would cut back on space used in the article. Afro  ( Don't Call Me Shirley ) 16:04, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Done with the references… but I don't see why changing the style code is necessary, since there are so many other FL discographies that have the same style formatting. Crowz  RSA  22:12, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Although its a very small article at the moment, its simply a suggestion to reduce space and loading time. Afro  ( Don't Call Me Shirley ) 22:53, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, well I tried doing it, but for some reason it doesn't come out right. I think I'm inserting the wrong code. Crowz  RSA  02:32, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess Its alright to leave it at the moment until the discography is extended more. I'll support I have no major issues with the article. Afro  ( Don't Call Me Shirley ) 23:23, 9 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Comments


 * Support - I also formatted the references for italics - I hope you don't mind? Adabow (talk · contribs) 22:46, 2 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, and one more thing. " Featuring...Eazy-E, released in 2007, was Eazy's final compilation album" — similar case. What if another compilation is released? Is there any source to verify this? Just a confusion. That's all. Other than this, I don't see any errors. No vice 7  Talk  10:54, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - im sorry but im going to have to oppose this article, with only 11 references and the main page only being 31kb in length this article seems to fail criteria 3(b). Also, Music video sections needs directors and references, a simple ? does not work as it then fails criteria 3(a). Sorry once again. - (CK)Lakeshade  -  talk2me  - 00:39, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The number of references should not be an issue - everything is verified. Do you want the nominator to add more references for the sake of it? Also I don't think a merge is practical as it would make Eazy-E discography-heavy. Adabow (talk · contribs) 00:57, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * And also, a consensus was met to add a note to the Music videos section saying something about the question marks. Crowz  RSA  01:02, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The references arnt the issue, Feature articles and list must be comprehensive, i dont think this is very comprehensive and meets criteria for stand alone lists. An artist only charting in one Country (The US) and once in NewZealand doesnt really warrant its own page. It could easily be merged into the Eazy-E page. Thats my opinion, if others disagree thats fine. Im just saying i dont think it should have been split and i really oppose there not being directors, thats not comprehensive, again, thats my opinion. Once again, sorry but my oppose still stands. - (CK)Lakeshade  -  talk2me  - 02:21, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Take a look at Fantasia Barrino discography. Apart from one or two singles she has mostly had U.S. chartings. Eazy-E has released more albums and music videos, and about the same number of singles. If you think it does not warrant a WP:SAL, then you would support a merge, right? See User:Adabow/Sandbox4. About one-third is discography. Adabow (talk · contribs) 02:41, 2 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Quick Comment:
 * STUDIO ALBUMS: "Certifications" should linking to "Certifications" -- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 18:07, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Nominator's Comment I'm not sure if this will be a problem or not, but I'll be gone for a while. I have to study for exams and won't be back until the 21st. So today will be my final day on here. Crowz  RSA  00:23, 10 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Support per above-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 20:20, 12 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Quick comment – Bold links, like the one at the start of this list, are discouraged in the Manual of Style. Since I'm sure you want a link to Eazy-E as soon as possible, the easiest fix for this issue is to remove the bolding from the opening sentence altogether.

 * Comment Can other reviewers comment on the 3b issue? Dabomb87 (talk) 23:40, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see why commenting on the 3b issue is at all necessary. Adabow brought up a very good point with the example of merging Eazy-E discography with the main article (See User:Adabow/Sandbox4). There are several other discographies (in length wise) smaller than the Eazy-E discography. Here is a list of discographies shorter.


 * Ashlee Simpson discography
 * Audioslave discography
 * Billie Piper discography
 * Chimaira discography
 * Dave Gahan discography
 * Geri Halliwell discography
 * Isobel Campbell discography
 * Joel Turner discography
 * Killswitch Engage discography
 * Lightning Bolt discography
 * Lostprophets discography
 * Meshuggah discography
 * Nile discography
 * Paulini discography
 * Rachel Stevens discography
 * Ricki-Lee Coulter discography
 * Róisín Murphy discography
 * The Kills discography
 * The Strokes discography
 * The Ting Tings discography
 * Trivium discography
 * Uncle Tupelo discography
 * Willowtip Records discography
 * That's nearly 16% of the assessed FLs at WikiProject Discographies. Crowz  RSA  16:45, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
