List of songs recorded by Ivy

 * Nominator(s): Carbrera (talk) 05:25, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Despite never really receiving the attention they deserve, American indie pop band Ivy creates only the finest of music. I have worked on all of their articles over the past two years and have just completed this list (which I began working on in December 2016). I am submitting it to reviewed as a competitor in the 2017 WikiCup. I believe it satisfies the FL criteria and have no doubt that it will eventually become a featured list. Thanks to all who may help me achieve this. Thank you, Carbrera (talk) 05:25, 16 April 2017 (UTC).


 * Comments from Aoba47
 * I would revise the first sentence to avoid the repetition of the phrase "has recorded".
 * I would rephrase the second sentence to as follows to make the flow a little bit stronger (Formed in 1994, the musical trio consists of Dominique Durand, Andy Chase, and Adam Schlesinger.)
 * I would clarify in the lead that Lately is an EP.
 * Could you clarify this part (a disappointment for their record label)? Was the record label disappointed in the sales or just the general product?
 * The phrase (including by the group) seems a little odd and forced into the sentence. I would recommend trying to find a way to more seamlessly incorporate this information into this sentence.
 * I would remove "all-covers" as you say "cover songs" later in the same sentence so it is a little repetitive. Do you think it would also be beneficial to include a link to cover version for the phrase cover songs?
 * Just a clarification question, but is there any current news on the band? Their last song was released in 2011 so I was just curious if they disbanded or retired? It may be helpful to include a brief sentence about this at the end if this information is available.


 * I really enjoy this band, and "Edge of the Ocean" is one of my favorite songs of all time. Once my comments are addressed, I will support this nomination. Hope these comments help. Aoba47 (talk) 23:43, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe I addressed your concerns. Regarding any current news, their official site has pretty much been obsolete since 2012 and considering they've never been too popular, I can't find anything regarding their current status as a band. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to review this. Also thanks for the kind comments on my talk page. Regards, Carbrera (talk) 00:48, 22 April 2017 (UTC).
 * Thank you for addressing my comments; your final comment makes sense, and I assumed that this would be the case but I just wanted to make sure. It is a shame that this group is no longer recording music, but it is pretty nice to get as much as we got from a relatively obscure indie group. I support this.

 * Oh, and "Edge of the Ocean" is a great song. Carbrera (talk) 02:00, 22 April 2017 (UTC).


 * Comments from AffeL
 * Support: The list looks really good and well written, can't seem to find any problems with it that sticks out. - AffeL (talk) 14:40, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

 Comments Support –
 * "A pop album, two singles were released". Feels like a word is missing after the comma. If not, "A pop album and two singles were released" would be a better-written version of the sentence.
 * Very minor, but "Guestroom" at the start of the second paragraph could use commas before and after, as was done when Realistic was mentioned. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 22:12, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * – thanks a bunch! I fixed the list accordingly. Much appreciated, Carbrera (talk) 03:39, 21 May 2017 (UTC).


 * One last question: similar featured lists highlight in the table which songs were released as singles – any reason that you've chosen not to do that in this list? A Thousand Doors (talk &#124; contribs) 08:32, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
 * – I have never done it on my other two featured lists, but I actually did think of doing it here. However, I decided not to because I still cannot find any concrete evidence regarding if their cover of "Let's Go to Bed" was a single or not. A music video was released and a cover was created, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a single either. Being a featured list, I wouldn't want to list it as a single only to possibly find out that it really wasn't one. And for that reason, I would prefer to list the singles here.
