The Buggles discography

 * Nominator(s): Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! 23:15, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

After doing some work on this, and looking for more chart positions as I could before this discography was a section in the Buggles article, I think this article's ready to be a Featured list. Editor E  at ma talk page up, scotty! 23:15, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Comment: Archive other online sources with webcitation.org. You can use this page (step-by-step instructions there) to manually archive all online references which will guarantee they remain accessible even if the site goes down. After this has been resolved, I would be happy to support! SoapFan12 10:55, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ Sources archived except for Sydney Morning Herald which had an error that prevented it from being archived. Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 14:55, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Support: Awesome! Good job on meeting every single FL criteria! SoapFan12 16:01, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Oppose for now. I can see that you've exerted much effort in creating this, but there are still several issues.
 * Comments
 * "Accessed from (date)" – This wording doesn't really make sense: "Accessed on (date)" is the correct and more frequently used wording. I'd suggest using the cite web template; it's far easier to use than just writing all that down manually.
 * ✅ Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 17:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Should Drama really be included here? It was only released under Yes' name, and just because Horn and Downes were involved in its recording doesn't automatically make it a Buggles album. Was this album released under the Buggles name?
 * ✅ No, so removed. Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 17:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 * No point in a certifications column when none of their two albums have actually been certified.
 * ✅ Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 17:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 * For consistency, "CHE" should be replaced with "SWI"; Germany isn't written as "DE", after all.
 * ✅ Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 17:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Music videos could have some director info, if available, and should be placed in table format. And those Dailymotion/YouTube sources aren't officially uploaded by the band or their label, and therefore aren't suitable for inclusion as references, let alone external links. Are there any DVD releases or periodical sources that include/mention these videos? I'm sure there's a far more reliable source to be found for the "Video Killed the Radio Star" video.
 * ✅ Surprsingly, there weren't any Video albums by this group, and most of the videos are only rare youtube uploads. I've add a reliable source to indicate that videos for both "Plastic Age" and "Video", and the rest I've removed from this. Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 17:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 * "made 2 studio albums, a collaborative album with Yes, 9 singles, and 6 music videos." – Since they're smaller than 10, those numbers should be in written form ("two", "nine", "six"). Once again, I question the inclusion of the Yes album here.
 * ✅ Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 17:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't think it's really suitable to include an image of the band where Downes isn't present. Perhaps this one could be used, and you could add a fair use rationale for its use on the discography page.
 * I don't think wikiproject discogs allows non-free images, and I've removed that image. Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 17:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Prose needs cleaning up; perhaps the Guild of Copy Editors could help.
 * Did a bit of stuff to it, but I'll ask the Guild of Copy Editors to see what I could do. Thanks for the review!! Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 17:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I think its starting to look better, but I don't know if its enough for this to be a FL. I'll see if the Guild of Copy Editors will do anything. Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 22:50, 22 July 2013 (UTC) Holiday56 (talk) 15:17, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Issues have been fixed, so these comments by Holiday56 are now irrelevant. Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! 14:55, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * A copy edit was requested at the GOCE page, and I have done one. --Stfg (talk) 17:09, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Comments
 * Obviously until the merge template issue has been resolved, this cannot be promoted.
 * It was nominated for a merge shortly after I nominted this for a FLC. There have been two oppose votes so far, including one from me. Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! 03:13, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: Merge discussion was closed as no consensus. Editor  E  at ma talk page up, scotty! 21:00, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
