Taylor Swift


You might think of me as a lunatic for bringing a FA-class article to PR. But this article is on one of the most recognizable pop stars today, and thus, since its FA promotion in 2016, it has undergone significant changes. I think this article is now rather sprawling, and I do think it needs to be cut down in places. Any comment regarding how this article can be improved, and routinely maintained, is very much appreciated. Thank you very much. HĐ (talk) 05:44, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * (I haven't read the article, just some drive-by comments) Looking at the article at the time of its 2016 promotion, the career section ended at 1989, so I would say pay more attention to the paragraphs after that. The awards and achievements section used to be only four sentences (now it's three solid paragraphs). I guess kind of going through everything and seeing what could be cut to make it more summary style. Idk it's tough but some changes have to happen soon because she's only 31 and will certainly be active in the future, otherwise the article will be way too long. Good luck with the PR.

 * Comment I don't really think that the article needs major cutting right now, it's kept under 10,000 words. In the future, it probably will need some trimming as her career goes on and there is more to say. The one thing I think would be good to cut/split off is "Other ventures". For example, do we really need 3 paragraphs of product endorsements, cited in part to primary sources? (t &#183; c)  buidhe  08:52, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I also bug about the "Other ventures" section. Unlike outspoken celebrities, Swift is particularly reserved and rather devoted to her music above anything. Here-and-there promotional tie-ins with corporates are nothing out of the blue, and listing them all would (I believe) constitute WP:INDISCRIMINATE. The same for "philanthropy" and "activism" sections. HĐ (talk) 08:58, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
