  • The lead is too single-centric and needs to mention some non-singles; this isn't supposed to be a singles discography
 Done
  • It wouldn't hurt to include genres for some songs and/or albums

That's about all from me Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:49, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SNUGGUMS: I believe I resolved your comments? Thanks for the review! Carbrera (talk) 23:04, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's looking better, but still is overly single-centric; I only see one non-single mentioned. Try to have more balance between singles and non-singles. See List of songs recorded by Katy Perry and List of songs recorded by Lady Gaga for good examples of what I mean. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:09, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@SNUGGUMS: So far, I have included non-singles "Long Way to Go", "Bubble Pop Electric", "Asking 4 It", "Shine", "Hair Up", and "What U Workin' With?". How does that seem? Carbrera (talk) 22:28, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I now support since things are looking better Snuggums (talk / edits) 00:52, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Aoba47
  • I would recommend you remove the “Other performer(s)” column and either place the information about the features directly in the “Song” column as done in List of songs recorded by Rihanna or create a “Artist(s)” column as done in List of songs recorded by Taylor Swift. I prefer the Swift method as it is cleaner and more organized at least to me. The issue I have with your current form is that Stefani is listed in “Other performer(s)” during collaborations but not in her solo songs so that leads to some confusion at least for me. Again, this is more of a suggestion so you could disagree, but I feel it would improve the article as a whole.

This is the only comment that I have for the article. Other than that, I support this and believe it is ready to become a featured list. Make sure to update this when Stefani makes future releases as I have noticed a few articles similar to this fall behind. Aoba47 (talk) 05:06, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed all of your concerns @Aoba47:. Thanks as always. Carbrera (talk) 22:22, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Of course. I am very impressed by the work put into this article. Aoba47 (talk) 23:10, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Did some script assisted fixes, and other than that no qualms at all. —IB [ Poke ] 13:19, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support — Large comprehensive list, without any flaws I can find. Chrishonduras (talk) 03:26, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Everything looks great. Just add a note or a key to explain what "TBA" stands for and why it has a blue background.--Cheetah (talk) 18:13, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Crzycheetah: I took your suggestion. Thanks for the feedback! Carbrera (talk) 02:21, 4 September 2016 (UTC).[reply]
Resolved comments from Mymis

  • "with ska punk group" -> Maybe link "ska punk"
  • "the latter of which was the first single to sell over a million digital copies" -> Where? Worldwide or in the U.S.? The source uses Nielsen SoundScan, which, I believe, tracks only U.S. sales
  • Refs 6 and 10 have wrong authors
  • Ref 10 says "MTV News. MTV Networks" while the previous ones say "MTV News. Viacom"

The article is well-referenced and well-written. Once these minor comments are addressed, will be happy to support it. Mymis (talk) 20:38, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mymis: I addressed both issues. Thanks for your comments. Carbrera (talk) 20:52, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Very good, you have my support; great work! Mymis (talk) 20:57, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support The list is well-written, has a table that is easy to read, and the above issues have been addressed. Good job! Erick (talk) 23:28, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delegate note to reviewers: (pinging @Chrishonduras, TheKaphox, and Magiciandude: specifically so they see it) - This list is pretty solid, from a brief glance. That said, bare reviews like "Looks great, support!" are generally discounted by delegates because they give the impression that the reviewer did not read the list in detail, and it actually hurts the nomination because it leads more in-depth reviewers to avoid the nomination because the count is high. I'm not saying that you didn't review properly- like I said, there aren't any glaring errors in this list. But we have had issues at FLC before specifically with discography lists with large numbers of supports for lists that later reviewers find major issues with, so when I saw that this nomination has 8 supports- double the next highest nom- I wanted to make sure that everyone understands that reviews need to be substantive, not just a vote. --PresN 16:32, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Source review edit

Conducting it since one has been requested at the top of WP:FLC:

  • Formatting: since you are linking publishers only on earliest instance, you should de-link Billboard from ref 26 and any other/s I have missed.
  • Spot-check: ref 1-5, and a few others here and there. No issues.
  • Completeness: check.
  • No dead links.

Impressive work. – FrB.TG (talk) 13:11, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@FrB.TG: Thanks! Fixed the issue above! Carbrera (talk) 02:59, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
