Melon Music Award for Album of the Year

 * Nominator(s): ɴᴋᴏɴ21  ❯❯❯  talk  23:02, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because the Melon Music Awards is one of the biggest K-pop award ceremonies, and the Album of the Year category consists of one of the top prizes at the event. This list contains many quality sources and I believe it satisfies the criteria for featured lists. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯  talk  23:02, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * "Beginning in 2009, it consists of one of the daesang" => "Since 2009, it has comprised one of the daesang"
 * "although there was no album accolade given in 2007–08" => "although there was no album accolade given in 2007 or 2008"
 * "Album of the Year consisting of one of the ceremony's grand prizes" => "Album of the Year being one of the ceremony's grand prizes"
 * "The criteria for the accolade currently consists" => "The criteria for the accolade currently consist" (criteria is a plural word, the plural of criterion)
 * "having won four times in 2016 and 2018–20" => "having won four times in 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020"
 * In the table, why is 2009 designated as the 1st awards when it was actually the 5th?
 * That's what I got! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:17, 5 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Copyediting done, the reason why 2009 is listed 1st is that the awards were not well recognized in its online period, and many South Korean sources refer to 2009 as the first award ceremony as it was the first time it was held in a traditional format. ɴᴋᴏɴ21  ❯❯❯  talk  01:21, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Comments Support from Gerald Waldo Luis
This is a relatively short article so I don't have much concerns on this; at first glance the layout is neat!  Gerald WL  06:48, 20 March 2022 (UTC)


 * "an award presented by Kakao M" --> "an award presented by South Korean entertainment company Kakao M". This I think is important to establish that it's South Korea, dont want readers to constantly click article links. As a result, for "held offline in Seoul, South Korea" I think you can drop the "South Korea".
 * "in 2007 or 2008"-- what about "from 2007 to 2008" (or use dash if you please)?
 * "starting with the 2009 awards"-- "since 2009"
 * "having both been nominated"-- is the "both" needed?
 * Why is daesang linked in "Winners and nominees" but not in the lead?
 * In the second table, why are the nominees text small?

Done except for the last bullet point, as I've seen several FLs with nominees that have small text. But I'll remove them if needed. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯  talk  17:49, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I see, I see. No problem then-- I was just wondering. Anyways, the article looks all good now for me, so support.  Gerald WL  01:44, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Comment from Z1720
This is my first FLC review, so I welcome feedback on my comments. This review will focus on prose jargon and understandability.


 * "which was first introduced at its inaugural online ceremony in 2005." This can be shortened to "with its inaugural online ceremony in 2005." As inaugural online ceremony indicates that it is the first ceremony.
 * "Since its inception, Album of the Year has been given to nine artists." Delete Since its inception. I would assume that the award was not given before its inception, so it is not necessary.
 * "From 2005 to 2008, award winners of the event were announced online," Delete "of the event". It is assumed that award winners are for this award, and this article is not about an event, so it is unusual that this language would be used.
 * "given from 2007 to 2008." -> given in 2007 or 2008. The article already establishes that this is an annual award, so having a two year range is unusual.
 * "with Album of the Year being one of the ceremony's grand prizes." Replace "being" with "becoming"?
 * "Since then, the ceremony has been held at various venues throughout Seoul." I don't think "Since then" is necessary and can be deleted.
 * " (along with Song of the Year and Artist of the Year)" I think this is a little off-topic, and isn't necessary for the reader to understand this list. I recommend deleting it.
 * "which spawned the best-selling single "Cherry Blossom Ending"" I'm unsure how this information relates to this award, and is perhaps off topic. Consider deleting.
 * "Furthermore, IU and BTS are the most nominated artists in the category," I don't think furthermore is necessary in this sentence and can be removed.
 * "having each been nominated four times." -> with four nominations each. This tightens up the language.
 * "From 2005 to 2008, the Melon Music Award winners were announced online; nominees for the awards were not made available during this period. In 2007 and 2008, there was no album accolade announced by the event committee." This information needs a citation.

Those are my thoughts. Please ping when the above are responded to. Z1720 (talk) 20:30, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Source review – All of the references are sufficiently reliable and well-formatted, and the link-checker tool shows no issues. The source review has been passed. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 22:23, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
