List of number-one Billboard Top Latin Albums of 1999
I've been working on this list for some time, and after a peer review and minor changes I think is ready to reach the Feature List status in wikipedia. I'll be ready to make more changes or answer questions regarding the content of the list. I want this list to be as good as possible.

Thank you, Jaespinoza (talk) 04:48, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * Not keen on the title at all. Probably should be something like "List of Number-one Billboard Top Latin Albums of 1999" or similar. Answer: DONE
 * No bold links in the lead. Answer: DONE
 * Don't start "This is a list of" - featured articles don't start "This is an article..." so we shouldn't either. Answer: DONE
 * "eleven week " hyphenate?. Answer: I changed that sentence.
 * Table does not sort at all due to the rowspans - did you try it?. Answer: In the peer review the asked me to search for another user to do the rowspans because I did not know how to do it, and this user made the change. Should I delete the rowspans?.
 * It's up to you - either keep the rowspan and don't make it sortable, or remove the rowspans and keep it sortable. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:38, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Answer: I rather keep the rowspan, I took the sortable out. Jaespinoza (talk) 17:02, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

 *  Oppose Abstain per WP:NOT, I just don't see a reason how this list may be notable. This is just old data that will never be updated.-- Crzycheetah 02:21, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * But you are supporting this list of submissions for Foreign Language Film (a very good list indeed), but it is also a list with data that can not be updated, why is my list less relevant?. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaespinoza (talk • contribs)
 * The "old data" reason I mentioned was not the only one, but just one of the reasons. The main reason is that this page isn't notable as is. The submissions list is at least notable and useful because these countries actually submitted those films for the Academy Award(notable) and it's a list of films the Academy considered(useful). As for this list, there are a couple of questions: how are these albums selected as #1? Why do we need to know what album was #1 during 1999? -- Crzycheetah 21:44, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Regarding the selection of albums at number-one I added an extra paragraph with the Billboard Methodology, you were right, there was no sign of how the albums were selected to hit the top spot of the chart. And about the relevance of this chart, I think latin music is a very important part of the music business in general, and Wikipedia does not have a lot of info about it, another of the goals of this lists is to create the record holders section of the article Billboard Top Latin Albums, but to get there I have to make the list first. Thanks for all your questions, I think you are helping me to develop a better list. Jaespinoza (talk) 17:58, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If there were a list of most sold Latin albums by year, I'd support. I just don't think it's notable for an encyclopedia to list albums that were sold the most during a week. I am going to abstain here.-- Crzycheetah 06:28, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
