This is a complete list of official releases by British electronic music duo Goldfrapp. I am submitting this list because I think it meets all the requirements. I have no idea what to expect because I don't know if a discography has ever been nominated before. -- Underneath-it-All 00:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good, but oppose until a few (relatively minor) issues are taken care of:
- Add an image or two from our Commons Goldfrapp gallery (linked at Goldfrapp).
- Be consistent with year links: link a give year only once, and when you do it, do it to 200X in music.
- Rm redundant links to formats.
- Reword these "the following is" (e.g. "These songs were...")
- Instead of a N/A placeholder, add a note saying why the single wasn't eligible (if possible).
- Replace these "¹" and "²" notes with linked notes using either template notes (to keep them in the section) or the <ref> footnotes.
- The lead says three albums were released, but thearticle lists 4.
- Maybe add a total number of releases in lead? Something like the summary of the featured NFL drafts articles? (2005 NFL Draft for a random example)

- I have added your suggestions to the article. Hopefully I got everything. -- Underneath-it-All 18:43, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Looks good Support. A few extra comments:
    - I'm assuming the reason there are no US or CA chart for albums is that none charted in North America?
    - I considered suggesting a sound sample, bur I'm not sure that complies with the fair-use policy.
    - If this is a list of "official releases",why does it includes "unreleased songs"? Maybe adjust lead for that.
    - Oh, and specify "as of June 2007".

Thanks! I have again added your suggestions to the article. :) -- Underneath-it-All 04:11, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ for now. The lead needs significant expansion. Obviously it shouldn't repeat everything on the main Goldfrapp page but it needs to summarise what's in the lists (e.g. have they been more successful as a chart act in particular countries?) and provide other info relating to their discography but not perhaps appropriate to the list format (e.g. which label publishes their records? Have they worked with significant producers? Have any of their songs or albums won any awards? Etc.) --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 11:35, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have expanded the lead to include info on awards and where Goldfrapp's albums and single were most successful. -- Underneath-it-All 15:36, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Much better - switching to support. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 10:36, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!! :) -- Underneath-it-All 14:41, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MUSTARD#Internal links says not to use piped links to year in music, so I've undone those. --PEJL 11:19, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
