"Irreplaceable" is a song recorded by American singer Beyoncé for her second studio album, B'Day (2006). The song was written by Beyoncé, Shaffer "Ne-Yo" Smith, Tor Erik Hermansen, Mikkel S. Eriksen, Espen Lind, Amund Bjørklund, and produced by Stargate and Beyoncé. The song's lyrics are about the breakdown of a relationship with an unfaithful man and the song contains a message about female empowerment. "Irreplaceable" was released on December 5, 2006 in the United States as the album's third single, and the second single internationally on October 23, 2006. The single was released through Columbia Records. "Irreplaceable" was well received by contemporary music critics, who cited its distinct production compared with most songs featured on the album, and complimented its hook, "To the left, to the left". "Irreplaceable" won several awards including, Best R&B/Soul Single at the 2007 Soul Train Music Award. It was nominated for the Record of the Year award at the 50th Grammy Awards. It became Beyoncé's fourth number-one in the US, was B'Day's most successful release, and remained at the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for ten consecutive weeks.
 * Most recent similar article(s): WP:FADC shows two other possibles for 5 December 2014, but this one helps with WP:BIAS having an article related to a female on the Main Page and the song's message about Women's rights.
 * Main editors: other recent editors of note include  and
 * Promoted: 2008
 * Reasons for nomination: 8th anniversary of release date.
 * Helps with WP:BIAS, article related to female of high quality, and song's message about Women's rights.
 * Quite well-cited throughout using in-line citations.
 * Support as nominator. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 20:32, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
 * , What the "most recent similar article" spot is for is this: the TFA that was most similar most recently, not whether WP:FADC lists any other possibilities. "Most recent similar article" is even linked to Today's featured article/recent TFAs to make this clear. And if you looked there, you'd see that "The World Is Not Enough" was TFA on 26th November, 9 days earlier. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but take more care, please.

 * , I understand what the "most recent similar article" spot denotes, but I thought it worth pointing out what possibilities there are from WP:FADC for relevant dates. And as we have a Gender bias on Wikipedia, I think it's perfectly okay to have another article about music relatively close in dates -- especially as WP:FADC shows only two other articles of relevant dates available. Thank you for the consideration, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 20:42, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Note: And it appears The World Is Not Enough (song) and Irreplaceable are of completely different topics, and one is by an alternative rock group while this nomination is by a woman with a message about Woman's rights. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 20:45, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
 * If you understand what the "most recent similar article" means, please use it properly. And there's really no need to throw around the bold text or wikilinks to words like "woman" (an odd habit of yours, as I've commented before - do you really think that readers of this page might not know what a "woman" is?). Not completely different topics - both are modern music songs.  OK, so the subgenres of modern music are different, but if that counts as "completely different" we could have R&B, grunge, rock, punk, pop singles all nominated for five consecutive days with everyone saying "but they're completely different from each other!", which would be nonsense.

 * No worries about the wikilinks to common terms. But the less common term is Woman's rights, and I think we could use more of that on the Main Page, especially with regard to the Gender bias on Wikipedia. I hope it can get consideration from the community. Thank you, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 20:55, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, the community has remained resolutely silent on this nomination... BencherliteTalk 10:35, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
