Renominating due to lack of consensus at previous FLC (03:15, 20 October 2008) --JD554 (talk) 08:26, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- "Mojo Awards" should be "Mojo Awards", if this is the magazine
- I didn't use {{Infobox Musician Awards}} due to the many non-music awards in the list, but if I had then other magazine awards such as Billboard Music Awards, NME Awards and Q Awards wouldn't have been italicized. So it makes sense that Mojo Awards shouldn't be either. --JD554 (talk) 19:36, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "He began his singing career under the name David Bowie in 1966" needs a reference.
- Lead should be longer, especially for someone so prolific
- ""David Bowie, Meg Whitman, Beastie Boys, YouTube Co-founders Prove Less Is More With Five-Word Speeches At The 11th Annual Webby Awards". The Webby Awards (6 June 2007)." – missing access date

Review by SrX
- Comments
- I commented on the one before but you didn't reply to the last one, you need to list some work he did in the lead.
- How did he gain prominence?
- Overall award count?
- Support - my review was addressed to meet WP:WIAFL, much better list.--SRX 21:21, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- "He has won
a total of14 awards from 40 nominations."
- "He has also had a long and innovative presence on the Internet which led to his being awarded a lifetime achievement Webby Award in 2007 for "pushing the boundaries of art and technology with his digital empire"." "long and innovative presence" sounds POV to me.
- "He began his singing career under the name David Bowie in 1966 and won his first award in 1969 when he won an Ivor Novello Award for the song 'Space Oddity'". Comma after "1969".
- "The BAFTA Television Awards are awarded by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and are awarded for the best in television." Best of what in television?
- "The MTV Movie Awards are awarded by the television channel MTV for best in film." Best of what in film?
- Inconsistencies: "Bowie has received one award from one nomination." but "Bowie has won one award from one nomination."
- Reference 24 needs a last access date.
- Fixed. The problem is with {{Cite press release}}. I've put a note on the discussion page there. --JD554 (talk) 09:00, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "One of several annual major music awards shows in the United States, the American Music Awards are awarded for outstanding achievements in the record industry." I don't think the first phrase needs saying.
- IMBD is not a reliable source. Just get the info from the official websites.
- In ref 28, TimeWarner needs to have a space.
- The title at the top of the infobox needs to say something like: "David Bowie awards and nominations".
- "The Golden Globe Awards are awarded for best in film and television programs by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in the United States." Does not make grammatical sense.
- "The Saturn Awards are awarded by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films in the United States to honour the best in science fiction, fantasy and horror film and television." Best what?
- "The Daytime Emmy Awards are awarded by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in the United States
and are awardedfor excellence in daytime television."
