Nominator(s): LOVI33 18:35, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it fits the criteria. I began working on this article earlier this year, making sure all claims are backed up and the article as a whole fits the criteria. I got some help from some amazing editors in a peer review as well as a copyedit. I would just like to note that there is a currently a single, "We're Good", that was recently released and is still rising in chart positions. Because of this, you might notice there being citations under a chart positions but I will try my best to remove them as soon as they appear in the archive citations at the top. Also, I currently have another FLC open. I havent seen anywhere that you cannot do that so I hope it is okay. Any comments would be amazing! LOVI33 18:35, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support from The Ultimate Boss

Article looks amazing! I am going to support. The Ultimate Boss (talk) 23:01, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@LOVI33: - for info, the relevant guidance about having multiple open FLCs is at the top of the page and says "Nominators should not add a second featured list nomination until the first has gained substantial support and reviewers' concerns have been substantially addressed". But your other FLC has multiple supports and no outstanding issues as far as I can see, so you are good to go with a second one......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:13, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments
  • "the charity single "Bridge over Troubled Water", dedicated to victims of the Grenfell Tower fire, featured Lipa" - needs a source
    • Sourced in the charity singles subsection under the "Notes" section of the table.
  • "a song which spent eight weeks atop the UK Singles Chart" - source needed for the figure of eight weeks
    • Added in source.
  • "The song spent 25 weeks in the top 10 of UK singles, becoming the sixth-longest top 10 stay in that chart's history" - all of this needs sourcing, also it should probably be "the top 10 of the UK singles chart", not just "the top 10 of UK singles"
    • Reworded and added in source
  • "As part of the Radio 1 Allstars, Lipa participated in the COVID-19 pandemic–relief charity single "Times Like These"" - needs a source
    • Sourced in the charity singles subsection under the "Notes" section of the table.
  • Singles which did not chart need referencing
    • Added in sources.
  • Notes which are not complete sentences (eg "United Kingdom sales figures for Dua Lipa as of February 2021") should not have full stops
    • Removed full stops.
  • I don't quite understand note n. If the remix was combined with the original for chart purposes in the UK, why does it have a different peak position?
    • Basically, the original version of "Levitating" entered UK streaming and download charts upon the release of Future Nostalgia so because of the UK chart rules, the original was credited when the remix entered the chart. We can see that the two versions have different peaks because the remix's chart run ended in September 2020 while the original version was released as a single and had a high re-entry. I hope that makes sense.
  • That's all I got - great work! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:00, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some thoughts

  • Where are the formats of each release sourced to?
  • Where are the dates of each release sourced to?
    • From what I've seen in other FL discography articles, the details section of a table is sourced in the article, but they can also be backed up by sources at the top from all countries excluding the UK, US and Canada.
  • Needs citations in the lead
    • Everything should be backed up.

Thank you for the comments In actu. I hope I have cleared everything up. LOVI33 15:31, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Mixture of numerals and words in the opening sentence contravenes MOS:NUM, per "Comparable values should be all spelled out or all in figures"
    • Reword so all are spelled out in words
  • "propelled Lipa to international fame" this kind of claim needs a reference.
    • Added source
  • "and reached the same position" -> "and also topped the UK Singles Chart".
    • Reworded
  • "featured Lipa" I would be careful overloading the word "featured" here. I would say something more like "on which Lipa performed". Nobody "featured".
    • Reworded
  • Like "Dua Lipa has sold six million copies worldwide".
  • "with The Blessed Madonna" -> "with the Blessed Madonna"
    • Reword
  • most international markets" really?
    • Reword
  • "to earn this achievement" be clearer, i.e. "to have three singles simultaneously in the top ten" or similar.
    • Reword
  • "Radio 1 Allstars" probably would link Radio 1.
    • Added link
  • The link calls them the "Live Lounge Allstars" by the way.
    • Fix
  • You could link Ultratop in the lead.
    • Added link
  • I would order infobox same as article sections.
    • {{Infobox artist discography}} automatically orders studio albums, music videos, EPs and singles and in that order. I have adjusted the rest to fit with the article sections.
  • What's the difference between an LP and a 12" vinyl?
    • There isn't really. I have fixed it.
  • Where is "If Only" referenced?
    • Added source
  • Notes F, J and M unreferenced.
    • Added sources
  • Her article calls her English yet this discog has an "Albanian" category...
    • Removed
