Nominator(s): CrowzRSA 01:50, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I (obviously) think it meets the criteria. I only recently started working on the article, and the text and stuff just came about. So yeahhh, CrowzRSA 01:50, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

**"His music has been released on record labels.." — maybe through in place of "on"?
      • Done
    • "In this discography, music videos and collaborations are included as well" — is this needed?
    • "Eazy-Duz-It peaked at 41 on the.." — at only 41; also try using forty-one instead of the number. Similarly, 2× Multi Platinum can be written as two times platinum.
    • Similar corrections throughout the lead would be nice.
    • Also, "The EP spawned only one single, which would never chart.." — try which failed to chart.
    • "The album went multi platinum on February 7, 1994 and peaked at number one on the Hot Rap Tracks" rearrange – first chart and then certification.
    • "Real Muthaphuckkin G's became Eazy's highest charting album.." — a single not an album.
    • "Any Last Werdz was not as successful, as it never charted — "The second single Any Last Werdz failed to chart" would be better in my opinion.
    • "was released as a single, originating on the" — does originating fit the sentence? and "on"? try using some other phrase like "originally featured on the".
    • In the last paragraph, if the year of release of each work is included, it would be better to understand.

These are all I see right now. Novice7 Talk 09:24, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you for your comments! CrowzRSA 01:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments - Consistency issues with the use of US. Also the Singles doesn't have the forced break for US R&B. Also I'm interested in knowing why there are question marks in the directors column of the music video section. On Ref 9 I'm incredibly confused about "Up for Discussion Jump to Forums.". Ref 14 has a consistency issue with one of the date. Ref 4 doesn't have the {{Cite web}} template. Afro (Don't Call Me Shirley) 17:34, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • The reason there are question marks as directors is because no sources gave information about the director. Many featured discographies (Slayer discography, Aaliyah discography, Audioslave discography, and several more) have question marks/other indicators that the director is unknown. Also, citation templates are not required per WP:CITE and WP:FN. The rest has been fixed. Thanks! CrowzRSA 01:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay well, I changed it to the citation template. CrowzRSA 22:25, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 4 and 7 don't use cite web. To cutback on space you're better adding these "style="text-align:center;"" to the top of the table code and sort out the coding for the very select cells this would cut back on space used in the article. Afro (Don't Call Me Shirley) 16:04, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Done with the references… but I don't see why changing the style code is necessary, since there are so many other FL discographies that have the same style formatting. CrowzRSA 22:12, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Although its a very small article at the moment, its simply a suggestion to reduce space and loading time. Afro (Don't Call Me Shirley) 22:53, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay, well I tried doing it, but for some reason it doesn't come out right. I think I'm inserting the wrong code. CrowzRSA 02:32, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I guess Its alright to leave it at the moment until the discography is extended more. I'll support I have no major issues with the article. Afro (Don't Call Me Shirley) 23:23, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

:*"Even though Eazy-Duz-It peaked at 41" - number 41. What's with the "even though"?
  • Per MOS:TM get rid of all the stylistic crap from It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa
  • "The album peaked at number one on the Hot Rap Tracks and peaked at number one on the Hot Rap Tracks went multi platinum on February 7, 1994" - rewrite
  • "The second single, "Any Last Werdz" failed to chart." - comma after title
  • "Released in 1995, Eternal E became Eazy's first compilation, peaking at number 84 on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the RIAA." - changes tense
  • " The album became his best charting album on the Billboard 200." - you give specific chart positions for other albums, so why not his best one?
  • "It's only single..." - remove apostrophe
  • "...peaked number 113 on the Billboard 200. 2007's Featuring...Eazy-E was..." - rearrange so that you don't have numbers to end a sentence and begin the next
  • Having inline citations next to the chart positions looks messy and potentially confusing. Place them in the table header
  • "US Hot 100" should simply be "US"
  • Ref 1 needs an access date
  • Actually, per WP:CITEHOW, if the article's publish date is given, access date is not required. CrowzRSA 22:21, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "It was also certified a 2× Multi Platinum by the RIAA" - rewrite
  • Not quite, how about 'In 1992 it was certified double Platinum by the RIAA.'? You need to remove the 'a', 2× interrupts with the flow of prose a bit. Adabow (talk · contribs) 22:48, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Having "?" directors fails 3a. I do not believe that there is nowhere that directors are listed for four videos.
  • As I explained in one of my previous comments, there are many featured lists that have question marks and such as directors. And I know just because other stuff exists, it doesn't make a valid argument. But still, they passed. And there aren't any reliable sources that say anything about the director. CrowzRSA 22:21, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe the music videos DVD on [2] has them? Anyway, can you at least give a note to explain the lack of directors? Adabow (talk · contribs) 22:48, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Use [3] for NZ charts. You'll find that "Just tah Let U Know" also charted in NZ.
  • Hung Medien publishes charts.org.nz, not Steffen Hung. Can you also link the NZ Singles Chart and add a line break before the ref? Adabow (talk · contribs) 22:48, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Workers of references need wikilinks and publishers
  • I wikilinked them, but where do I get the publisher? Isn't the website just the publisher? CrowzRSA 22:21, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

:*"2007's Featuring...Eazy-E was Eazy's final compilation album, but it failed to chart. A box set entitled Tri-Pack was released in 2010, but failed to chart." — try to reduce the times you use "failed to charts" in last para. Remove the "failed to chart" from boxset.
  • "Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton was Eazy's only posthumous studio album, as it was released nearly eight months after his death in 1995" — what if another album is released in future? Change to something like "Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton, Eazy's first and only posthumous studio album to date, was released in..". Also, "after his death in 1995" — posthumous albums are released after death.
  • I fixed the 'what if' thing, but I'm not clear on what you want me to do about "after his death in 1995". Just delete it or what? CrowzRSA 22:21, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Eazy's second EP, was released on October 25, 1993. The album peaked at number one on the Hot Rap Tracks and peaked at number one on the Hot Rap Tracks went multi platinum on February 7, 1994." — remove repeated phrase. And, Hot Rap Tracks? Maybe some other chart like R&B albums chart or BB 200. Correct that.

— Novice7 Talk 07:00, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oh, and one more thing. " Featuring...Eazy-E, released in 2007, was Eazy's final compilation album" — similar case. What if another compilation is released? Is there any source to verify this? Just a confusion. That's all. Other than this, I don't see any errors. Novice7 Talk 10:54, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support — All my issues were fixed. So, its a support from me. Novice7 Talk 12:17, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - im sorry but im going to have to oppose this article, with only 11 references and the main page only being 31kb in length this article seems to fail criteria 3(b). Also, Music video sections needs directors and references, a simple ? does not work as it then fails criteria 3(a). Sorry once again. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 00:39, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The number of references should not be an issue - everything is verified. Do you want the nominator to add more references for the sake of it? Also I don't think a merge is practical as it would make Eazy-E discography-heavy. Adabow (talk · contribs) 00:57, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And also, a consensus was met to add a note to the Music videos section saying something about the question marks. CrowzRSA 01:02, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The references arnt the issue, Feature articles and list must be comprehensive, i dont think this is very comprehensive and meets criteria for stand alone lists. An artist only charting in one Country (The US) and once in NewZealand doesnt really warrant its own page. It could easily be merged into the Eazy-E page. Thats my opinion, if others disagree thats fine. Im just saying i dont think it should have been split and i really oppose there not being directors, thats not comprehensive, again, thats my opinion. Once again, sorry but my oppose still stands. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 02:21, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Take a look at Fantasia Barrino discography. Apart from one or two singles she has mostly had U.S. chartings. Eazy-E has released more albums and music videos, and about the same number of singles. If you think it does not warrant a WP:SAL, then you would support a merge, right? See User:Adabow/Sandbox4. About one-third is discography.

  • Quick Comment:
    • STUDIO ALBUMS: "[[Certifications]]" should linking to "[[Music recording sales certification|Certifications]]"-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 18:07, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nominator's Comment I'm not sure if this will be a problem or not, but I'll be gone for a while. I have to study for exams and won't be back until the 21st. So today will be my final day on here. CrowzRSA 00:23, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Quick comment – Bold links, like the one at the start of this list, are discouraged in the Manual of Style. Since I'm sure you want a link to Eazy-E as soon as possible, the easiest fix for this issue is to remove the bolding from the opening sentence altogether.

  • Somebody did that already
  • Comment Can other reviewers comment on the 3b issue? Dabomb87 (talk) 23:40, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't see why commenting on the 3b issue is at all necessary. Adabow brought up a very good point with the example of merging Eazy-E discography with the main article (See User:Adabow/Sandbox4). There are several other discographies (in length wise) smaller than the Eazy-E discography. Here is a list of discographies shorter.
