Nadia Ali discography

 * Nominator(s): Hassan514 (talk) 09:32, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe the list is comprehensive and meets FL criteria Hassan514 (talk) 09:32, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Oppose Many issues. I can go on and on and on. Fact is, this is nowhere close to FL class yet. I strongly suggest you go through a WP:PR and check recent discography FLs to get more points. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 15:06, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The first line in the lead should summarize the contents of the discography including how many studio albums, EPs, singles etc she has released.
 * done
 * There's no alternate text.
 * done
 * She released four singles from the album of which, "Love Story", charted at No. 1 on Billboard Hot Dance --> Grammatical error with commas
 * done
 * There's no linkage of other appearances and writing credits in the infobox.
 * done
 * Sometimes references for chart positions are along side the chart numbers, sometimes along side the chart. No consistency.
 * done
 * Unreferenced content abundant.
 * Messy references. Why would Billboard be published by Rovi? It was published by Nielsen Business Media uptill January 2010, from then its Prometheus Global Media.

Comment I can see that Hassan has definitely done some good work on the discography. I would like to see further work in improving the lead. I am not opposing this submission now, just that I need a little time to see whether I find the article to be of FL quality. Delegates, when you are closing the nomination, if I haven't commented, please remind me. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 14:01, 6 July 2011 (UTC) Oppose This is a long, long away from a FL. There are more issues in the article. Try doing a Peer Review. I will help with the article, if you want. Contact me on my talk page if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

 * I have made changes to the lead and expanded it further. Hopefully it is much more suitable now. Hassan514 (talk) 05:21, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow, Hassan has really done a nice job expanding and cleaning up the article. I support this promotion now. Nice job. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 05:09, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Lead:
 * The first sentence should describe her discography. (one studio album, three compilation albums... etc.)
 * done fixed
 * You say she has a remix album, why isn't there a section farther down showing that?
 * Queen of clubs trilogy are the remix albums
 * Many writing issues. It needs a copy edit.
 * done Fixed as many as I could see
 * Album sections:
 * According to the style guide, the format is incorrect. See WikiProject_Discographies/style for the correct style.
 * done
 * Link CD and digital download.
 * done
 * Be consistent with dates. You have month, day and year in the studio albums section, but you only have the month and day in the compilation albums.
 * done
 * Singles section
 * A discography shows releases, if a song hasn't been released, it shouldn't be here.
 * done Sorry, didn't realised that. I saw that in Sophie Ellis-Bextor discography a while back and that's why I did it.
 * The references should be in the top of the chart, not next to the peak.
 * done Didn't know how to compile them together as they were multiple links, hence I posted them there. Fixed that
 * As featured artist section
 * The parentheses stuff should go underneath the song, according to the style guide.
 * done
 * Once again, the references should be in the top of the table.
 * done
 * Music videos section
 * Need references saying Jelle directed the two videos.
 * not done There's no references to them available anywhere on YouTube or anywhere else I knew to look. I had to contact Armada Music, the label which released the tracks and they told me who directed the videos. I only have the email from their press point of contact to verify these details.
 * Re-format the table to look similar to the style guide.
 * done
 * Other appearances section
 * the "a" in appearances should not be capitalized.
 * done
 * Is the notes section really needed?
 * Removed it, the only reason I did it was because of her uncredited appearance on "Deeper Underground" since I couldn't find any reference which mentions her vocals were sampled, I thought I should remove it.
 * Is the writing credits important enough to be noted here? The style guide says "Releases by other artists as a tribute or cover." should not be included.
 * The song is not a cover. It was a song written by her and performed by another artist on Tritonal's debut studio album.
 * References section
 * I see this a lot. Incorrect formatting. Websites should not be italicized. Put two apostrophes before and after to cancel it out.
 * done
 * It shouldn't be "Billboard charts" nor is Billboard published by Rovi Corporation.
 * done. Sorry I got that confused, I went to look at it again and stupidly missed the part "content partly provided by Rovi"
 * The dates should be formatted the same in the article. Always stay consistent.
 * done
 * I have fixed most of the issues mentioned here. As far as referencing some things are concerned, I can only think of the album and singles release dates. Her music is mostly not mentioned on allmusic and the only places I can link here is discogs, beatport and itunes, which as far as I know are WP:LINKSTOAVOID. Ideally, I would hope I can do as much now to get this nomination passed. But if there is a lot more than what you guys have suggested, I'll wait and get a peer review done. Thanks a lot for your feedback! Hassan514 (talk) 11:05, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow. Congrats on fixing up the article, it looks nice. I think I'm going to have to say Support on this one. Everything that I've seen looks spot on. —Michael Jester (talk) 19:24, 21 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Support The Rambling Man (talk) 19:59, 10 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Support (with a comment): Singles that haven't been released or charted in a country are tagged similarly (with a "—"). I don't know if this is common usage on this type of pages, but wouldn't this distinction be important to highlight? Parutakupiu (talk) 23:48, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Not so sure about that, this is a standard used by WikiProject Discographies so perhaps they're the best people who can talk more about it. I've simply followed their guidelines in creating this discography. Hassan514 (talk) 19:51, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
