Enamorada de Ti is a remix album by American singer Selena, released in April 2012, 17 years after her death. It peaked at number one on the US Billboard Top Latin Albums and Latin Pop Albums chart. The article went through GOCE back in 2012 by GOCE member Stfg. Since then it has underwent several revisions by users and I recently revisited the article to bring it up to FA worthiness as well as replacing dead urls with archival versions. I hope to bring the article to FA status for Selena's 20th anniversary of her murder. Best, .jonatalk 21:55, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from SandyGeorgia
[edit]I am pleased to not find copyvio via direct translation of Spanish sources in the two sources I checked, but it appears that in trying to rephrase Spanish sources to English, original research and text not verified by sources has been introduced.
I do not intend to review the full article: these are samples only.
1a, Prose, grammar: there is no such phrase as Tus Desprecius in Spanish-- something is wrong there.
Sourcing:
- About.com is not usually a reliable source, depending on the "expert" doing the writing (anyone can write for about.com). This about.com author bio page on Carlos Quintana is unconvincing; the man loves Latin music, has website experience, and teaches dance.
- This site, conciertos en bolivia, is a blog, with no information given about the author. Yet the source is listed in article references as Jose Gallegos (27 May 2011). "Quiero mantener vivo el talento de mi hermana". La Prensa. Retrieved 8 June 2011. Where did the Gallego and La Prensa come from? These first two sources are cited extensively: if we don't have more convincing critical review of this album, should this article be featured?
- I can find nothing on generaccion's website to indicate reliability.
- What is this? I'm getting some deadlink gobbledeegook.
- I can't find a page on popcrush.com to assess reliability (but it did crash my browser with an "unresponsive plugin" notice).
- "... after performing to an enthusiastic crowd in Bolivia ... "
- "Their aim was to update Selena's music for the modern music industry."
- The album's central themes would be Abraham's influence on his children's love of music, and bringing Selena's music "back to life".
- Banda commented that the track blended Tejano cumbia and electronic sounds, and he praised its new guitar chords (referring to the song "Ya no").
- "Banda was more positive, listing them as recommended tracks that he found to be reminiscent of live Selena recordings."
- Source says: Estos son los temas estrictamente recomendados para escuchar, ahí se aprecia la voz de Selena tal cual estuviera cantando en vivo.
- These ... are strictly recommended listening, where one can appreciate Selena's voice just as if she were singing live. (no mention of recordings).

- Closing note: This candidate has been archived, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FAC/ar, and leave the {{featured article candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Ian Rose (talk) 04:34, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
