Gwen Stefani discography

 * Nominator(s): EA Swyer Talk Contributions 21:30, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because the only objection from the last FLC has been fixed. The problem was that one of the sites I used went down so reviewers couldn't confirm the data or that the site was a reliable source. I only use alphacharts as a source to show the general performance of a song; raw data is taken from the hung median charts. The list is complete and well-sourced.

 * Would the FL director look at the previous FLC, here, when reviewing this nomination because it contains most of the issues resolved. -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 01:44, 17 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Support. Don't see any problems. Tezero (talk) 05:03, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - can't see any issues. Certainly a huge improvement over the version that was delisted a while back -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:38, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

 * You may need to adjust the second column widths - they aren't equal on my screen.
 * In what format was Harajuku Lovers Live released in? Done
 * Mariah-Charts is not a reliable source. Done

 * Don't abbreviate organisations such as ARIA. Done
 * Some of these were added recently by an IP, such as the mariah-charts source, and have been reverted. I'm fixing the others now. Thanks for the comments. -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 17:31, 22 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Why have you used the search pages on the Hung Medien sites rather than the discography pages? They bring up all the necessary chart positions. On some sites, such as charts.org.nz, there are no discography pages for artists. The only way to show an artist's complete charting is to use the search page.
 * Actually, they do! Discography Gwen Stefani. Dt128   let's talk  21:10, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Has this been addressed? Dt128   let's talk  21:39, 25 November 2009 (UTC) Done
 * You should use the actual page titles for all of the references.
 * Has this been addressed? Dt128   let's talk  21:39, 25 November 2009 (UTC) Done
 * Why is "Italian charts." in italics - you should you the website name in normal font followed by "Hung Medien." The website is the "work", Hung Medien is the "publisher". The work is automatically in italics. See Template:Cite web. I have tried to be consistant here.
 * Has Italian charts been replaced with Italian-Charts.com? Dt128   let's talk  21:39, 25 November 2009 (UTC) Done
 * Have none of Stefani's singles been certified?
 * The certification column should go to the left of the album column. Remove "to be filled". Dt128   let's talk  16:48, 27 November 2009 (UTC) Done


 * Finally, has Stefani not featured on any other artists' albums? Dt128   let's talk  16:02, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Stefani sings backing vocals for husband Gavin Rossdale on single Love Remains the Same (song) from album WANDERlust (Gavin Rossdale album), link, under the alternate title "Some Days" (it's the same song). I'm not sure whether to include this or not as she's not on the single cover or even listed on the album's credits here. -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 01:33, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Found some other songs. I'll add them to the discography tomorrow. -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 01:41, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Added? Dt128   let's talk  17:17, 3 December 2009 (UTC) In progress -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 16:25, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Got several. I don't know if the list is complete but I'll add songs as I find them. -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 00:36, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Have none of Stefani's singles been certified?
 * Has this been addressed? Dt128   let's talk  21:39, 25 November 2009 (UTC) In progress Done
 * Have Stefani's albums not received more certifications?
 * Has this been addressed? Dt128   let's talk  21:39, 25 November 2009 (UTC) Done

 * Dabs; please check the disambiguation links identified in the toolbox. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:16, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 13:56, 3 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Still maintaining my neutrality on the list. I still do not like that aCharts is used (not a high-quality source), but understand that it may the only available source for important information. Therefore, I will sink this FLC by opposing, and will allow the closing director (I will recuse from closing this, obviously) to weigh my comment. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:16, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * All the information taken from aCharts is backed up by the Hung Medien charts. -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 18:03, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * As a prospective closer of this FLC, I've looked at what is being cited by the aCharts references, and have grown doubtful that most of them are necessary at all. Most are simply repeating information found in the tables; in those cases, no cite is required on top of the ones in the tables. There are only a few facts that seem uncited in the tables. First, there's the bit about "Rich Girl" performing well on different formats; I'm not sure this is even necessary to say, since a top-ten single figures to do well in multiple formats. Second is "Cool" "replicating the popularity of its predecessor", which is called into question by the figures themselves. Third, there's "Now That You Got It" charting in Norway; I don't suppose there's a good site with Norwegian charts? Also, if you're concerned about the sentences that say "released in all countries" or similar, you could re-phrase to indicate that it covers all countries with major charts.

 * sorry to butt in! the hung medien norway ref from the albums table confirms that "now that you got it" charted in norway. :) Mister sparky (talk) 02:40, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Removed aChart references. They weren't needed - I just wanted references that showed how well a particular song charted across several countries, rather than many songs charting in one country (i.e. the Hung Medien charts). -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 13:08, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * yea acharts are useful because then you only have to use 1 ref instead of lots of them but ah well. Mister sparky (talk) 18:07, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * That still leaves a couple issues I'd like to see sorted out. As I said above, I don't see how "Cool" can be described as similar in popularity to her previous single when it did worse on the charts. Also, the Norway part can apparently be cited by Hung Median, which I recommend doing since it is uncited now (it's only being used to cite the albums' performance now, not any singles).  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:08, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Cited the Norway part. Reworded the sentence about "Cool". Any other outstanding issues? -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 01:01, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
