Sophie Ellis-Bextor discography

 * Notified: Discographies WikiProject

I am nominating this for featured list removal because the list does not meet WP:FLC. WP:Record chart explicitly states that the Tophit.ru website for Russian charts should not be used. The last paragraph of the lead is a complete mess and makes no sense at all. The article's references include sources such as fan sites and Youtube. There is no source provided that an album will be released in 2013; even if so, it should not be there in the album table without an actual name. Some of the references need work (eg. "Digitalspy.co.uk"). Till 01:10, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Delist too much wrong here... The Rambling Man (talk) 20:21, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Seven dead links plus some uncertain ones.
 * Infobox/lead completely in disagreement with each other.
 * As noted above, lead third para is wild and bad.
 * No sign of which territory release dates are relevant to.
 * No ref for the EP.
 * Last two singles unreferenced.
 * Video album unreferenced.
 * Several video directors unreferenced.


 * Comment – Haven't looked at the list and have no opinion on it, but I'm concerned that we may be stretching any editors interested in working on the music-related lists too far. This is the fourth FLRC the nominator has up at the moment, and I wouldn't feel comfortable with any more right now. I'd actually suggest that a couple of the current FLRCs be closed before another discography is nominated. If someone wants to work on these articles to prevent them from being delisted, we should at least give them a fair shot and not overwhelm them. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 01:56, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Consensus has decreed for the Ashley Tisdale discography that the list should be kept and any remaining issues can be fixed independent from the FRLC, so that's the responsibility of a FLC director to close, not me/anyone else. As for the Britney Spears, actionable concerns have been left unaddressed for almost three weeks, and as such the FLRC should come to a close soon. That leaves this FLRC and the Jessica Simpson FLRC 'open' to discussion. Till  13:38, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I would agree that continually filling our limited resources at FLRC with discographies is unlikely to yield good results, i.e. work and effort to retain the featured status. Perhaps find some other types of FLs that you'd feel happy to nominate for delisting in the near future. But obviously, thanks for your efforts here, always appreciated.

 * Comment Having read these comments, I have now extensively redeveloped the page, reformatting the tables, last paragraph of the prose, infobox, references, etc. Hopefully, it is now above the deletion standard, but I'll see what you all think. I Am Rufus   &bull;  Conversation is a beautiful thing.  16:31, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Impressive work, thank you. Have removed my oppose.  The Rambling Man (talk) 18:11, 29 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. No glaring problems.  Good raise  01:59, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Closing note: This candidate has been kept, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close.  Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the featured list candidates template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through.
