Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance

 * Nominator(s): Novice7 (talk) 06:06, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the criteria for an FL. The lists follows the format of other Grammy FLs. Thanks in advance to all the reviewers! Novice7 (talk) 06:06, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: An excellent list -- well done! I would recommend listing artists in the Nominees column in alphabetical order by last name (in other words, just rearrange the order so that Gladys Knight is listed before Nina Simone). I would support this list if this first concern is addressed and assuming all other reviewers' concerns are addressed. Also, I would double check that there aren't any re-directs due to MoS inconsistencies. Keep up the great work! -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:54, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks. (nominator has retired and has asked fellow editors to watch his nominations) — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  22:55, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Support - with three comments: -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 18:55, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Are the flags necessary?
 * In fact, is the "Nationality" column necessary? Until and unless someone from another country wins the Grammy, it seems redundant.
 * Is the smaller font size in the "Nominees" column necessary? And/or should those be a bullet list, or simply the nominees (each on a line)?
 * Bulleted and having them small is fine to me. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 13:14, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment, per request on talk page: If consensus shows a preference for the removal of the Nationality column for lists where only one nation is represented, there may be additional Grammy-related FLs needing to be updated. I always included the Nationality column for consistency among Grammy lists, but I don't feel strongly about including the column if only one nation is represented (not necessarily the case if multiple countries are represented). I will say, however, that including a sentence in the lead about all winners being American is including a fact that is not represented in the content below. Feel free to use the Grammy Awards task force talk page is further discussion is necessary. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:02, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with Another Believer. If I remove the column, the readers cannot verify the information about the winners being Americans. I've followed the format of other Grammy FLs here. Ryōga Hibiki  ( talk  &bull;  contribs  ) 07:23, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Comments from
 * "a ceremony that was established in 1958"
 * The image captions read somewhat monotonous. Any chance you could add some variety?
 * Most images require alt text.
 * Usage of File:Nobel Peace Prize Concert 2008 Diana Ross1 cropped.jpg might be in violation of the license. Should "Photo: Harry Wad" be included in the caption? Or is the link to the File: page enough? I'd appreciate it, if somebody would enlighten me on the matter.
 * All done. Ryōga Hibiki  ( talk  &bull;  contribs  ) 07:23, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

These are just from me. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 13:14, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comments from Legolas
 * Agree with Goodraise above, about the image captions and ALT. Some variety is needed I believe.
 * Do we have any other Grammy trophy image? That one in the infobox is just so so passe.
 * Red links can be there, no? They are notable enough with their Grammy win.
 * Added alt and fixed captions. As for the infobox image, I'm afraid we don't have another one of the same quality. The available ones are just drawings. Ryōga Hibiki  ( talk  &bull;  contribs  ) 07:23, 29 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment It is not clear if this award is for R&B or Contemporary R&B songs, as both genres are very different from each other.-- ♫GoP♫ T C <sub style="color:red;">N 21:13, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It was awarded for rhythm and blues songs. Actually, the award is given for the artists' vocal performance. Ryōga Hibiki  ( talk  &bull;  contribs  ) 07:23, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * However, you linked "R&B" to "Contemporary R&B". I can't tell for all songs, but Aretha Franklin definitely did not record any contemporary r&b songs.-- ♫GoP♫ <sub style="color:red;">T <sup style="color:red;">C <sub style="color:red;">N 11:58, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Linked to R&B. Ryōga Hibiki  ( talk  &bull;  contribs  ) 12:52, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
