*Do not list certifications for countries that are not used on albums chart. You list certifications for albums certified in Mexico, but no albums chart for it.
  • As Selena is an American artist and her career was mostly in the US, the date format should be tied to the American date format per MOS:DATETIES.
  • There are two dead urls according to the Checklinks.
  • There was only one. – jona ✉ 15:09, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • You have platinum lowercased on the studio albums section, but it is capitalized on the soundtrack and live albums section. Why?
  • Isn't Dreaming of You technically a posthumous album? I'm asking the article states that the soundtrack is her bestselling posthumous album.
  • "In 1995, Selena was inducted into the Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame, the Hard Rock Cafe's Hall of Fame,the South Texas Music Hall of Fame, and the Tejano Music Hall of Fame in 2001." I'm not sure if this is really appropriate for a discography article. I think the Billboard article sums up it well since it outright calls her the bestselling Latin artist of the '90s.
  • "Dreaming of You became the first and only predominately Spanish-language album to debut and peak at number one on the Billboard 200 chart." I would put "to date the" before "only".
  • You list the standard certification Amor Prohibido but use the RIAA Latin certification on the studio albums section. You should just stick one, not both as to not confuse readers who are not familiar with the RIAA Latin certifications.
I still see the Latin certification used for Amor Prohibido on the table. Either use standard for both the prose and table or the Latin certification for both of them. Erick (talk) 16:43, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • You mention Selena being the lead vocalist of Los Dinnos, but that's it. How well did she do as the lead vocalist of Los Dinnos?
  • World sales should be below US sales as World sales are total sales.
  • Not required, but I would mention some of her albums being the bestselling albums of the year such as Entre a Mi Mundo being the bestselling Regional Mexican Album of 1993 in the US or Dreaming of You being the bestselling the bestselling Latin album of 1995-96 in the US. This could readers an even better insight on how well those albums did.
  • I need the source for Entre a Mi Mundo. – jona ✉ 15:09, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "see also" section should be in alphabetical order.

Well that's all I got. Address these issues I'll give it my support. Good luck! Erick (talk) 12:56, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good, now I can give my support. Well done! Erick (talk) 22:51, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support — A job well done. Very well formatted and referenced, plus the concerns raised by Erick are enough for me. — DivaKnockouts 16:30, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Informative and well organised list. Arguably flawless. Well done! Simon (talk) 08:32, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Source review
  • There is no logic to the order of the sources list: it should be in alphabetical order by surname
  • You need to sort out the caps in the titles:
  • Selena's Secret: The Revealing Story Behind Her Tragic Death is preferred to
  • Where were you when... the music played?: 120 unforgettable moments in music history
  • You need to add the location of the publishers for most of the printed sources
  • Check the date format in the refs; You have many in the 10 April 2016 format and others in the April 10, 2016 format: pick one (probably the US-favoured April 10, 2016, as you use that within the article as well) and run with it throughout
  • For some refs with Billboard you include the publisher, for others you don't: pick one and be consistent (as you're not including the other publishing companies of other works, best to remove the publisher name)

Hope these help - SchroCat (talk) 07:42, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I believe I have fixed everything. Thanks – jona ✉ 15:47, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AJona1992, Not quite: you need to re-order the sources so they are in alphabetical order, starting with the 1996 World Book, then Arrarás onwards and finishing with Untiedt. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 16:26, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Most have missed that one, now it's done. Thanks – jona ✉ 16:41, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
