Music of the Lesser Antilles

Notified: TUF-KAT, WP Caribbean, WP Trinidad and Tobago, WP African diaspora, 2020-11-01

Review section

The nominator of this 2006 promotion has not edited for over a decade, and this article has not been maintained to standards. See this list from 2020-11-01; I can provide more if someone engages to improve the article. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:43, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Sourcing

The sourcing is pretty dodgy, as well.

• Unconvinced that the website for Paradise Inn Curriacou is a high-quality RS.
• From a quick spot check, the claim "The leading figure in the promotion of the Cadence-lypso was the Dominican group Exile One" is not supported by the source, which only states that it (as well as another group) were popular Dominican bands from the genre.
• Kizombalove.com is probably not RS
• Ditto with funkyorgan.
• Formatting issues abound
• It looks like there's a lot of accretion of text into previously cited spots that probably aren't supported by the sources.

Other comments

• A lot of this article is incomprehensible to a non-expert. Like SandyGeorgia, I was unable to figure out what kadans is from this article.
• Honestly, some of the Exile One details seem kinda spammy.
• In general, there's a lot of claims of what bands are popular, but they all seem to be rather promotional.

Sound clips

• I have doubts that WP:NFCC really is okay with having four audio clips as minimal use, but I'm not an expert in this area. A copyright expert would be needed to look at this. However, I have checked the two audio clips in the British Antilles section, and both are too long. I got the song lengths off of Amazon, and if those song lengths are correct, both clips exceed the maximum length from the chart at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Music samples. Both are under 5:00 in length it seems, so the 30 second clips are too long. Didn't check the other two audio files.

Yeah, so this is nowhere close. Hog Farm _Bacon 05:46, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

FARC section

Issues raised in the review section include sourcing and prose. Nikkimaria (talk) 21:46, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

• Delist still no engagement; large unsourced / poorly sourced material. Femke Nijsse (talk) 15:08, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
• Delist doesn't meet FA criteria (t · c) buidhe 15:11, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
• Delist Absolute mess. Hog Farm _Bacon 17:19, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

• Closing note: This removal candidate has been delisted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please leave the {{featured article review}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. (yes normally we'd leave this in FARC for two weeks but consensus is clear and a list cleanup might make for more focus on saveable articles) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:57, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
