Madonna videography

 * Nominator(s): --Legolas  ( talk 2 me ) 07:44, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe this embodies the videography of American recording artist Madonna completely and is a complete list of her releases, including their notability and controversies surrounding it. --Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 07:44, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - The information seems complete and sources look good.-- 12345abcxyz20082009 ( talk ) 10:00, 24 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Quick comment – I just took a momentary glance and noticed that the lead is the longest I can remember seeing in an article, let alone a list. To be honest, it's overwhelming in its length to me. I feel that it would be better to have the lead act as more of a summary, and have the details be included in their own section, where the size wouldn't matter as much.

 * I moved much of the commentary to appropriate sections. Take a look, lead seems appropriate length now. --Legolas  ( talk 2 me ) 04:16, 1 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment I don't see why the one-line plot summary against each each video is required. As an analogy, in a Wikipedia discography you don't see descriptions of the album/single's music do you? I think this plot info can be cut from the lead as well, bring down its size as Giants2008 requested. In fact, if you consider just the tables here, I don't see why can't be merged into the Madonna's discography, as is standard for all other artists.—indopug (talk) 05:34, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Can you check whether the blockquote in the lead has been transcribed properly?—indopug (talk) 05:39, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I think you are mistaken. There is no Madonna's discography. Her catalogue is so huge that long back it was decided that albums, singles, films, videos will be separated. And a one-line plot summary is definitely not WP:UNDUE is it? Plot info has been considerably cut from the lead and merged into those one liners. There is no concrete rule for how a discography should be constructed and WP:WAX seems invalid in this case as everything is separate here. --Legolas  ( talk 2 me ) 04:38, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree with Legolas on this one; the catalogue is so vast that it does require to be split into three. The same is done for Michael Jackson (videography, album discography and singles discography).  Pyrrhus  16 ''' 16:41, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Support &mdash; Looks good. Jimknut (talk) 18:21, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Support and comment. I was asked to comment here because I had brought Michael Jackson videography to FL status fairly recently, and it is the only videography currently at that status. While Madonna's and Jackson's videography articles differ a bit in structure, there is no guideline for how these lists should be constructed. As long as the list has the main details that I think should be required (music videos, home media, certifications of home media), then structuring can be varied to the main editor's preferences. Jackson has his filmography integrated into his videography article, but seeing as Madonna has starred in more movies, hers should not be added to this and, in my opinion, should remain a standalone article as well (Madonna filmography). Anyway, I have no problems with this videography - it looks nice and appears to be comprehensive. Well done.  Pyrrhus  16 ''' 16:41, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Support &mdash; Large comprehensive list, without any flaws I can find.  Aaroncrick  ( talk )   23:20, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
