Gwen Stefani discography[edit]

previous FLR (23:05, 3 November 2008)

Notified: WP DISCOG, WP ROCK, Escape Artist Swyer, 17Drew, Tezkag72.

I am sorry for having this brought back again at FLRC, but this discography does not deserve a featured list by today's standards. My main concern is the usage of mariah-charts.com, a fan site that completely fails WP:RS and is often inaccurate, based on my personal work with discographies. That leaves almost 200 peak positions from the singles' table which are unverified. We have reliable databases that can fix this problem, and can be found at MOS:DISCOG#Sources and User:Kww/goodcharts. In addition, there are various other issues in my opinion, such as the MTV Europe chart which fails WP:CHARTS, the lack of citations in the Other appearances, a not so-brilliant lead, inadequate format of various in-line citations along some other minor issues. Hopefully they can be solved. Thanks, Do U(knome)? ^yes..._{or no} 05:12, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delist - the lead needs expansion, some of the content needs verification by sources, and some of the references need proper formatting. --TRU CO 02:41, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delist - Clearly fails the increasingly tough standards expected of discographies. This list has slipped under the radar for a while now, so I'm glad to see it here. Hopefully someone can come along and help, but until then I agree this list should be not be considered a featured list. Drewcifer (talk) 08:50, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delist unless improvments made. The number of charts given is also excessive. Along with the inadequate lead and other problems pointed out above, this doesn't match expectations of WIAFL. I'm suprised it was kept only in November, but no-one improved it then or since.Yob Mod 19:01, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment All problems seem to have been resolved except for the lack of citations in the "other appearances" section..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:48, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is still a glut of chart positions, 15 columns for the albums and 16 for the singles. General sources are still needed. Column widths are at random. "Promo release only for the clubs." is worded badly. The Hollaback girl certification uses and x rather than ×. There's more stuff, but that's what pops out to me right now.

Shows how closely I examined it. Good job I didn't !vote, I must have been really half asleep :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:55, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Lede states how many releases No Doubt had, but not Gwen Stefani has, which is odd. There are still too many chart listings. Comprehensive is one thing, but this is a case of too much information. It all begins to blur and starts looking like a wordsearch puzzle, and isn't visually appealing. Completely unreferenced section, too. Even after the work that's gone into it, I still don't think it's the best we can offer.
