Nominator(s): – jona ✉ 00:39, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it has since been copy-edited by members over at WP:GOCE and was updated to match model FL singles discographies. – jona ✉ 00:39, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments
  • I spotted a lot of blank spaces in the list. Can be tedious to deal with, but eliminating the blanks could reduce the byte size of the article. You can use this script.
  • @Cameltrader: I added the script but I am not understanding it, I see the "suggestions" but there are a lot of them. Do I click on it and that's it and continue on to the next one until it's removed? The user page does not adequately provide me that information. – jona ✉ 18:56, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Just spot "whitespace" on the suggestions and click on "fix" standing right to it. FrB.TG (talk) 10:11, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 Done – jona ✉ 14:16, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Either get rid of the infobox, or remove the line about how many singles and promo singles she has released.
  •  Done
  • " Latin Songs chart in 1991; the singer's first number one song" - I think a comma would do better instead of semi-colon.
  •  Done
  • "Selena's live recording entitled Live (1993), contained" - unneeded comma.
  •  Done
  • "After her collaboration with the Barrio Boyzz on the single "Donde Quiera Que Estés" peaked at number one" - where?
  •  Done
  • You need to be consistent with the hyphenation of number one. Just write one and stick with it.
  •  Done
  • "The title track, "Dreaming of You" became the highest charting U.S. Billboard Hot 100 song of the singer's career, peaking at number 22."
  •  Done
  • " Her cover of Pedro Infante's "Tú Sólo Tú" peaked at number one in the U.S." - you need to be specific about the chart otherwise one might think it topped the Hot 100.
  •  Done
  • Among all the sources, why are only People and AllMusic sourced? You need to link all of them; either on their first occurrence or every time they occur.
  •  Done
  • Ref 10 - is About.com a reliable source?
  • I replaced it with a source from Billboard. – jona ✉ 00:39, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 16 - Billboard.biz => Billboard.
  •  Done

  • Thank you and good luck on your FLC. Best – jona ✉ 14:46, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Yashthepunisher

  • Provide an Image of Selena with alt text.
  • There's no free image of her on Wikipedia. – jona ✉ 16:34, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Her career began as lead vocalist of Los Dinos in 1980." --> as the lead vocalist.
  • I think the opening sentence should be "American singer Selena had released".., because she's dead.
  • Wikilink Billboard in its first appearance in the references.
  • Is ref 24 a RS?

*Comment:
  • Why is Selena mentioned as a guest appearance on Dreaming of You, even though it is her own album?
  • I'm honestly not sure about the inclusion Billboard ring tones chart since it ring tones tend to be only a few seconds long.
  • This is just an suggestion, so it's optional. What do you think about noting that "Amor Prohibido" and "No Me Queda Mas" being the best performing Latin songs of '94 and '95 respectively? Erick (talk) 17:38, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well was simple, wasn't it? Support Erick (talk) 23:22, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose – The removal of the infobox is really detrimental in a discography article, when the counterpart Selena albums discography has it. It is a quick way to look into the statistical aspects of this list and although one reviewer suggested removal of it, Ajona, you should not have done it. —IB [ Poke ] 10:36, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @IndianBio: I have added back the infobox. Hope that takes care of your concerns – jona ✉ 12:03, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's better with the infobox (even though I was the one against it), but I will suggest not counting the number of her albums, singles etc in the opening line. FrB.TG (talk) 13:56, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support the nomination now. The list looks really good. Just wish we had any free image of Selena :( —IB [ Poke ] 15:13, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Source Review
  • Formatting: ISBNs should really be ISBN-13s (you can use this to convert them), though I wouldn't oppose over it.
  • Spotchecks: Checked refs 9, 18, 27, 32; all pass
  • Completeness: Check

Source review passed; promoting. --PresN 16:54, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
