I've listed this discography for peer review because I am interested in opinions on how it fares against the featured list criteria. I would appreciate comments on the prose, structure (e.g., should the box sets be listed separately from the other compilation albums?), style, or any other issues that stand out.

Thanks, Gongshow ^Talk 22:12, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Finetooth comments: This appears to me to meet the criteria except that I don't know whether it's comprehensive or not.

I've looked at a few similar FLs at WP:FL#Music to see how they compare to this one. Alice in Chains discography, for example, includes extended plays, music videos, and video albums. I have to assume that none of these apply to the Beau Brummels, but I don't know for sure. Nine Inch Nails discography includes soundtracks and remix albums. Both Alice and Nine Inch include chart positions in several countries. Probably the Beau Brummels did not chart in any countries that you have not mentioned. I only raise these questions by way of suggesting that you leave no stone unturned before approaching FLC. Since the list is short, I'd try to include anything that might be relevant.

I fixed a few minor things such as en dashes instead of hyphens in page ranges and date ranges.

Lead

"They signed the Beau Brummels to their fledgling Autumn Records label, where the band's early sessions were recorded with Autumn house producer Sylvester Stewart, later known as Sly Stone." - I'm not sure a label can be a "where". Also, "were recorded with" sounds a bit odd. Suggestion: "They signed the Beau Brummels to their fledgling Autumn Records label, and their house producer, Sylvester Stewart, later known as Sly Stone, recorded the band's early sessions."

I hope these suggestions prove helpful. They don't amount to much, but I can think of nothing else. If you find the comments helpful, please consider reviewing another article, especially one from the PR backlog at WP:PR. That is where I found this one.

Hi Finetooth, thanks a lot for the feedback. I share your concern regarding the comprehensiveness issue; as a relatively obscure band who has not recorded new material in 35 years, some potential discography elements simply do not exist (e.g., music videos, remix albums, album/single certifications, and while it seems likely that their debut album would have charted in Canada, no album charts were compiled there until 1968). With that in mind, I totally agree with your suggestion to make sure no stone is left unturned. For example, just prior to this PR, I added an Australian chart placement for "Just a Little", so I'm hopeful that I can dig up additional relevant material to help overcome the comprehensiveness issue. Thanks again for your help! Gongshow ^Talk 22:34, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
