Nominator(s): FrB.TG (talk) 18:22, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is my first FL nomination in four months. It's the listings of Beyoncé's visual work. Many thanks to anyone and everyone for participating in this FLC. – FrB.TG (talk) 18:22, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from Jimknut

Sorting of titles needs to be fixed on several of the tables. Titles beginning with "A", "An", or "The" should sort under the second word in the title. Jimknut (talk) 00:24, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done where tables are sortable - many thanks. – FrB.TG (talk) 12:42, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 19:44, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments quick ones as this appears to have stalled.

The first entry in the table is 1999 yet that's not mentioned in the lead.
Captions which are complete sentences need a full stop.
Linkable items should be linked every time, e.g. The Fighting Temptations, because the table is sortable.

The table is sortable but the "Description" column isn't, I guess that makes it exempt.

No, because the description column shifts too when you sort, so there's no guarantee the first item is the linked one. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:50, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. – FrB.TG (talk) 19:02, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"1950s-influenced ..." don't start sentences with numbers.
" in Houston, Texas as " comma after Texas.
"Guillaume Néry " has a diacritic.
"September 2, 2007 during" comma after 2007.
Looks like you're forcing column widths e.g. in Filmography section, but not consistently from section to section, why?

No reason, adjusted. – FrB.TG (talk) 18:38, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Aoba47

For this sentence (Other videos from the album included for the singles "Baby Boy", "Me, Myself and I" and "Naughty Girl”.), I would include that these videos were released over the course of 2003 and 2004.
I would think that “Beautiful Liar” should get a short sentence in the lead as well.
I would include in the lead that other music videos were released from 4 to avoid the impression that “Run the World (Girls)” and “Best Thing I Never Had” were the only singles with music videos.
Is there a reason why the lead does not include information about Cadillac Records or Epic?

I am not sure why we need to include info about labels in a videography. I would understand their inclusion in her discography but I see no need of it here.

Cadillac Records and Epic are both movies that she has appeared in. Aoba47 (talk) 19:49, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

When I saw "Records" I thought that (Epic was Epic Records) you were referring to some labels who Beyonce must have worked with. Doh! What a dummy! I have now added Epic, but I Cadillac Records is notable enough in her career, especially since it flopped. – FrB.TG (talk) 20:26, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Understandable. Thank you for addressing this. Aoba47 (talk) 21:48, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would imagine that the ALT text should be a little more descriptive than just the person’s name.

Actually in these type of lists, it's enough if we just mention the names of the people in alt text per WP:ALT.

It seems a little silly in my opinion, but I will respect the policy. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful work with this list. Once my comments are addressed, I will support this for promotion. My comments are relatively minor; I have respect for you for tackling this list. Just make sure that this stays updated as I am sure Beyonce will be making a lot more videos in the upcoming years. Aoba47 (talk) 15:38, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Aoba, thanks for these. I will definitely try to keep the list updated. – FrB.TG (talk) 17:13, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I will support this once my final comment is addressed on Cadillac Records and Epic. Aoba47 (talk) 19:50, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for addressing everything. I support this for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 21:48, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by BeatlesLedTV

There's multiple references for the same song multiple times so I'd change the title to "Ref(s)" for the tables that have this.
"Little x" goes to "Director X". Should the x in "Little x" be capitalized?
Is there something you can color code? I know the FL criteria mentions that tables should have visual appeal. If not I wouldn't bother.

Perhaps the videos directed by Beyonce but there's just too many of them here.

That's all I got for now in terms of the tables. Good job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 03:20, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I have done two of those things above. FrB.TG (talk) 09:55, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support. If you can't color code anything don't bother. Only a suggestion. Great job. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 16:27, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Everything looks in order here. Nice job. Damian Vo (talk) 10:33, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
