Spent the last month cleaning up and expanding this article, and I believe it now meets the featured list criteria. This is my first featured list nomination and first time working on a discography. I used the recently-promoted Meghan Trainor discography as instruction. Looking forward to your feedback. Prefall 14:17, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments from Lirim.Z
- Give more information on the picture
- His first studio album with them His first major label release
- Every released single should be referenced
- Don't use "N/A" in Guest appearances. It should be "Non-album single"
- Refs: 16, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 33, 35, 42, 51, 52, 53, 54, 56, 58, 59, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 76, 77, 83, 84, 85, 88, 92, 96, 97, 100, 109, 138, 148 (I hope these are all) Itunes is not the publisher of the albums/songs, the label is. Change |publisher= to the respective record label and keep the store in with: |via=ITunes Store. Also, you definetely could swap a lot of these for proper sources.
- Mac Miller is not the publisher of MVs released after his signing to Rostrum |publisher=Rostrum Records, |via=YouTube

- @Lirim.Z: Thanks for the response. I've addressed most of your comments, with the exception of the "N/A" -> "Non-album single" change. From my understanding, guest appearances are listed that way because they aren't singles. Prefall 00:43, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comments - really excellent work. Two tiny points...
- Could abbreviate "extended play" to EP as most people use that initialism.
- Is the release date in each case for the US or global or something else?
The Rambling Man (talk) 16:30, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @The Rambling Man:
- Extended play / EP is a mixed case; the full term is used as the article's title, but the abbreviation is used in the discography infobox. From looking around, most discographies go with the full term. I don't mind either way.
- The release dates are global. I haven't found any early releases in specific countries.
- Thanks for the kind words. Prefall 19:32, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Support my trivial concerns addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:05, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from SNUGGUMS
- "This was proceeded by" reads awkwardly
- "he collaborated with American actress and singer Ariana Grande" is too wordy; I'd cut her nationality (not relevant here) and occupations (already obvious she's in the music industry when mentioning collab)
- "featuring American singer Miguel"..... same as before
- Too many US component charts listed; I'd personally just stick with Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in addition to main Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts
- The "Guest appearances" listings don't belong here unless they charted and/or had single/promo single releases
We should be good to go after that. As for an image review, File:The Space Migration Tour London Music - Mac Miller.jpg is appropriately licensed. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 05:14, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @SNUGGUMS: Done mostly all:
- I kept US Jazz in the EP section, as You is the only project he made outside of the hip hop genre. I also kept US Pop in "Featured singles" since no other component charts are listed.
- Just to clarify, only the "Moves Like Jagger" and "Into You" remixes from "Guest appearances" have single releases on iTunes. Would you recommend I move those songs to the singles section (perhaps as promo singles) and remove the rest? Prefall 06:04, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, move those tracks accordingly and delete the other guest appearances. Fair point on US Pop and US Jazz charts. Looking again through the lead, however, it is entirely US-centric and should include at least some mention of other nations. I do realize Miller's songs didn't have much chart success outside his native country (or even on its own main chart with only "The Way" reaching the top 30), but we could at least include his highest non-US peaks. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 13:17, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @SNUGGUMS: Done the change to guest appearances. I've added some of his non-US peaks to "Self Care" from its post-death bump. I could expand "The Way" too, but not sure how much weight should be placed on a feature. Let me know if there's anything I missed or more I should do. Prefall 19:03, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- When "The Way" was Miller's only real chart hit (keep in mind that main charts reflect overall popularity of songs within a country and thus are far more important than any component charts), it's fine to note this was his biggest commercial success. You can safely include the Netherlands as it reached number 22 there along with maybe Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. I would also at minimum go into top 10 peaks for his studio albums (more important than mere debut). SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 19:24, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
