Nominator(s): Littlecarmen (talk) 11:56, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I have worked on the discography quite a bit recently and I think it is a useful list of Death Grips' many releases which could be useful for anyone interested in the band and I think it meets the criteria for featured list status. I would be thankful for any comments and opinions! Thank you very much, Littlecarmen (talk) 11:56, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose: This list has many problems, to much to count. You should request a peer review before nominating this for featured list. - AffeL (talk) 08:40, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments. AffeL's oppose seems unreasonable; you need to be specific with the issues that you think prevent the list from becoming featured. Also, it looks like a retaliation for the oppose made by the nominator in his FLC, which is a little immature to be honest. Anyway, here is what I think about the list:

  • "American musical group" how about simply writing it as band considering that you refer to them as a band later in the lede?
  • "The band was formed by Stefan "MC Ride" Burnett" no need for his real name here. I wouldn't call Lady Gaga Stefani "Lady Gaga" Germonatta in articles other than her biography.
  • "In the spring of 2011" => "In March 2011"
  • "received critical acclaim from contemporary music critics" it does not seem right to have "critical acclaim" and "critics" in the same sentence.
  • "in the spring of that year" again mentioning the month would be more helpful instead of season.
  • " in the fall of 2012", "In the summer of 2013", " in the summer of 2014" ^^.
  • A lot of sentences have the structure, "was released to positive reviews and peaked at number xx on the Billboard 200".
  • The tables look good and I haven't looked at the references. – FrB.TG (talk) 17:15, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@FrB.TG: I think I've addressed all of your issues. Littlecarmen (talk) 18:10, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support on prose and comprehensiveness. Good work. – FrB.TG (talk) 11:47, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@FrB.TG: Thank you very much! Littlecarmen (talk) 16:03, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]


  • Support The lead is well written and plenty of sources are provided. One thing I did notice however was that the infobox says four remixes while the lead say three. Tsange (Talk) 15:09, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Tsange: I fixed that and thank you! Littlecarmen (talk) 15:24, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Everything appears to be in place based on my thorough reading of the list, twice. For the most part, the prose is succinct and covers significant aspects of the band's career history; the nominator did a better job compiling everything she could for comprehensiveness. This one's good to go. Bluesphere 14:43, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "As a result of this and ensuing conflict" feels like it's missing a word, e.g. "the" in front of "ensuing".
  • "In July 2013, Death Grips launched Third Worlds, an imprint label of Harvest Records" it's not explicitly stated, but I assume they made their subsequent releases on this label? Probably worth making that clear.
  • Compilation album isn't noted in the lead at all.
  • "2xLP" use the multiplication symbol rather than x here.
