List of Gaon Album Chart number ones of 2011

 * Nominator(s): HĐ (talk) 10:29, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because this is a short but comprehensive and well-sourced list. HĐ (talk) 10:29, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Support The article looks good to me, with everything being referenced properly.--TerryAlex (talk) 16:22, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Support Lists of number-one albums by (category) are always interesting.  Korean music is rising in the mainstream.  Why 2011?  This article more complete and better referenced than the articles for later years.Listmeister (talk) 16:33, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. The article is well-referenced, but references to Gaon should always include an archive url since the site changes so often. Random86 (talk) 19:29, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I have added archived urls for some. Thanks! HĐ (talk) 01:38, 7 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Support. It looks great and very well-sourced. --Carioca (talk) 22:19, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Comments I've got serious issues with this list as it currently is.
 * Like Cowlibob, I'm also concerned by the lack of secondary sources. Of the 67 references in this article, only one is not a primary source, and, since it's dated 2010, one can't really claim that it's actually about the subject in particular.
 * I'm still looking for third-pary sources. Simon (talk) 09:32, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Two third-party sources have been added. Simon (talk) 02:44, 8 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Adding in more secondary sources would also help to beef up the lead, which to me looks rather sparse. Currently clocking in at under 1500 characters, it wouldn't even pass DYK in its current state. Is there nothing else that can be said about the number ones on this chart from this year?
 * The lead has been expanded. Simon (talk) 02:44, 8 June 2015 (UTC)


 * The title is also an issue for me. Featured lists of this type tend not to have the country of origin as a disambiguator at the end anymore, and instead include the name of the chart (e.g. "List of Canadian Hot 100 number-one singles of 2008" rather than "List of Hot 100 number-one singles of 2008 (Canada)", "List of UK Singles Chart number ones of the 1990s" rather than "List of number-one singles from the 1990s (UK)" and "List of Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles of 2007" rather than "List of Hot 100 number-one singles of 2007 (U.S.)"). A title such as "List of Gaon Album Chart number ones of 2011" would work better.
 * Understandable. I have moved the page. Simon (talk) 05:47, 11 May 2015 (UTC)


 * The prose shifts between present tense and past tense rather awkwardly in places, e.g. "albums claimed" and "peaked atop", but then "are three acts" and "is the longest-running". You're mainly discussing past events in the second paragraph; MOS:TENSE therefore suggests using the past tense.
 * Fixed the tense. Thanks for your comments! Simon (talk) 09:32, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

I think this article still needs a lot of work doing to it, and I wish all the participating editors the best of luck in improving it. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk &#124; contribs) 21:00, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I've addressed all of your concerns. Simon (talk) 02:44, 8 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Note The article has been moved from List of number-one albums of 2011 (South Korea) to List of Gaon Album Chart number ones of 2011. — Simon (talk) 05:47, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
