I am nominating this for featured article because... Taro-Gabunia (talk) 05:14, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Discographies are, by definition, lists, so the proper venue is featured list candidacy. But don't bother just yet. The lede needs to be three-four solid paragraphs, against the single sentence it is now. The references need to be proprly formatted with title, work, author, publisher, publication date, and access date. (Many won't have all of those, but as much as possible needs to be given.) The chart positions need to be cited. There's a ten chart max for discogs, where you have 20 in one table; far too wide for usability. When it's ready for FLC, don't start the list with "This is a list..." find something more interesting for the lede sentence, see recently promoted discogs if necessary. This is a worthy article to work on, but it's not yet up to scratch, and when it is, FAC is the wrong venue anyway. I'd suggest you withdraw this candidacy.

Comment—2c: inconsistent. Large number of works cited lack author or editor attribution, publisher, date.

This article should have been nominated at WP:FLC, but doesn't appear ready for that either, nd should probably to go Peer review. Archiving. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 08:27, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
