Faye Wong discography
This peer review discussion has been closed. This is the discography of Faye Wong. I don't want either the FA or GA status, unless the article appears to meet the qualifications of GA rather than the FA. I want honesty about this article from anyone who joins this discussion. I have created this article on the sole purpose of separating the content away from Faye Wong article. I have created more content, such as covers that this singer performed, but I must give credit to other contributors who put their hearts on this. There should be sources of the third-party and the independent rather than less reliable. I and others will do our best to improve this article after this peer review.

Comments from Michael Jester Good work on the article so far. Just a note, lists like this can't be GAs or FA; they're only qualified for WP:FLs. With that being said, here's my review:

Toolbox
 * There are two disambiguation links
 * Two dead links Possibly all done, but I don't know who did these: you or I?  --Gh87 (talk) 02:44, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I did not do it. It probably happened when you removed the ELs / notes. Michael Jester (talk) 02:48, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Lead
 * Have you considered using Infobox artist discography?
 * I did this. Michael Jester (talk) 01:10, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * An image in the lead would be nice. Her main page has File:Faye 2011 Hong Kong cropped.jpg, which is a good picture of her.
 * I added the image. Michael Jester (talk) 01:10, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The lead should have some background information about Faye Wong and how many of each album, single, etc has. Here is a list of all the FL discographies. You can use them as an example.
 * It should explain her music career. Discuss her albums. We need some information about them in the lead.

Albums/EPs
 * This section should just be called "Albums"
 * When discussing EPs don't use past tense. Example: "This was an EP, the first instalment of her final recordings with Cinepoly." Does this mean it was an EP, and now it's not?    --Gh87 (talk) 19:05, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * What are "Teenage albums" and "Main discography" ? I also see you have EPs listed with the albums. WP:DISCOGSTYLE says we should break up recording by type (i.e. Live albums, studio albums, EPs, soundtracks etc.)
 * Has any album charted in any country? If so, consider re-doing the table. The sample section as WP:DISCOG has a good example. Even if an album hasnt charted, most discographies still use the example. I know you have a column for English and Chinese titles, but you could just combine the both. Example using sample (I'm only doing the first 5:

Compilations
 * I'm assuming these are compilation albums. If so, then they need to go under the albums section.
 * This section goes in reverse chronological order; however, the albums section is in chronological order. Pick one and be consistent. One has to change. The most common is chronological.
 * It's best not to do subsections by record label. This could be added in the notes column. All ✅  --Gh87 (talk) 18:55, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Songs only found in other albums
 * No offense, but what makes any of these songs notable? In order to establish notability, you need a [significant] coverage from a [third-party] source.
 * Dashes are wrong, per MOS:DASH.

Theme songs
 * Once again, what makes these songs notable? Remember, a discography is a list of notable releases.

Cover songs
 * Once again, delete this section unless the songs are notable.

Notes
 * I would create a section titled "Notes" and just put all the notes there. ALL DELETED!! --Gh87 (talk) 19:25, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

External references
 * An article either has a reference section or an external links section, not a combination of the two. All references are technically external.
 * Is the first her official website? Kinda looks like it. If it is, use Official website. Nope, it is the fansite dedicate to the singer.  --Gh87 (talk) 19:20, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh. Well in that case, it is not an RS. Michael Jester (talk) 03:53, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Anyone could have made a Geocities website. What makes this a RS?
 * How are the lyrics encyclopedic toward the article? Plus, it's from a Geocities website so it's not an RS.
 * What makes the 4th reference an RS?
 * 5th reference just looks like lyrics. If that's the case, then this shouldnt have to be here; it doesn't add any encyclopedic value to the article.
 * 6th reference: IMBd is not an RS, fansites are not an RS, and what makes ent.163.com an RS? ALL removed!  --Gh87 (talk) 18:59, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Last general stuff
 * add contains Chinese text Yes check.svg Y Done --Gh87 (talk) 19:05, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Has Faye Wong released any singles? If so, create a section for them.
 * This article needs a lot of references. Any claim, stat, etc. needs a source. For example: the sentence "A favourite for many fans, this artistic album includes several tracks of scat singing. Her last studio album with Cinepoly". How do we know it was a favorite for many fans? How do we know its an artistic album? How do we know its her last studio album with Cinepoly? BTW, the phrase "artistic album" seems a little bit like OR. Removed that from page.  --Gh87 (talk) 04:35, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It should be assessed as a List-class article. ...Maybe later; there are too many banners in the talk page.  --Gh87 (talk) 04:35, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * There were only three banners. Plus only one needed changing. Oh well, I did it anyway for you. Michael Jester (talk) 06:34, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Good work on the article so far, but it still needs a lot of work. You may strke-thru my comments if you have properly addressed them. Once most of these are addressed, I might go back and do a second review. —Michael Jester (talk) 18:27, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Around now, I would start adding references/sources. Since there are no sources, how do we even know these albums exist?
 * After reading her article, I found out that some of her albums have charted. This needs to be added.
 * I also saw sales figures, too. This should be added.
