Changes[edit]

I made some major changes to the page, fixing the charts and certification boxes as well as adding a bit on the albums history. Underneath-it-All 21:00, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I removed "dance" from the genres because these songs certainly aren't dance (the remixes are, of course) -- getcrunk juice ^contribs 23:10, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

GA nomination on hold[edit]

Great to see some more aussie music at GA :) Leave a note on my talk page when you're done with this stuff. Cheers, — Dihydrogen Monoxide 10:23, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Chris True of All Music Guide described the album's songs as "dated at best", but wrote that Minogue's "cuteness makes these rather vapid tracks bearable"" - This (and other reviews) should appear in a reception section (which, incidentally, doesn't exist...)
I'm a bit concerned that refs 2, 5, 7, 11, 12, 13 are the most reliable, as they come from Kylie's site (and could thus be a bit biased). Do you have any other sources to back up any of the facts that those refs cite? If so, can you please add them (so there are two refs for those facts)
With ref 6, the archivedate= and archiveurl= parameters should be used (and the url= parameter should point to the original URL) (on {{cite web}}) - Ask me if you need further clarification or if you want me to do it :)
"The album reached the top ten in France, Germany, Japan and Switzerland[8] and sold six million copies worldwide" - Put a comma (,) before the ref, after "Switzerland"
With ref 10, could you actually perform a search (on the searchable database) for the album, and then link to the URL for that search?
Move the audio samples box up to the top of the singles section, so that 1) the first para doesn't go over it (which looks odd) 2) it doesn't slam into the track listing section as much
""Locomotion", Minogue's first single release" - Remember to wlink to The Loco-Motion#Kylie_Minogue_version
Did the album chart in New Zealand? (see http://charts.org.nz )

Remember, this should have a reception section that notes reviews of the album - virtually all GA albums have one. A few precedents (ie. articles I've been working on of late) include Young Modern and Internationalist (album) (both GA). Young Modern's reception is longer than is "necessary" for GA, and Internationalist's doesn't really contain enough (as of writing) - Dream Days at the Hotel Existence (FA, ironically) contains one that's about right. So please, please add one!

Good luck, — Dihydrogen Monoxide 10:23, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some changes based on your suggestions. However, I cannot expand on the album reviews because I cannot find anymore than the ones mentioned in the article. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 17:57, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, is everything else done? If so I can pass the article. — Dihydrogen Monoxide 09:00, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty sure that I've fixed everything up. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 03:04, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Passed in that case. Nice work. — Dihydrogen Monoxide 09:56, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 18:32, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

World sales figures...[edit]

Please do not change the album's world sales figures, unless you can source a new sales number with a legitimate reference. Minogue's official website says the album has sold 6 million copies worldwide. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 02:00, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kylie's site said it sold 5 million.Intrestingly,many articles have said her debut sold 14 million.Among them,the article in Vogue in 2001 where Kylie appeared on the cover of it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.50.77.237 (talk) 01:08, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 28 May 2020[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Consensus to not move, can be revisited when circumstances change. (non-admin closure) — YoungForever^(talk) 15:26, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kylie (album) → Kylie (1988 album) – It has been revealed by GQ that Minogue's upcoming fifteenth studio album will be entitled Kylie (link here), therefore I believe this article should be moved to Kylie (1988 album) just like Cher's multiple studio albums entitled Cher. Kylie (album) can then redirect to Kylie. TheKaphox T 13:35, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, for now. This is too soon. As of right now, her only album with that title is the 1988 one. The new one has no release date and the title could change for all we know. — Status (talk · contribs) 15:23, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also oppose as per WP:CRYSTAL and as we don't do "preemptive disambiguation" on Wikipedia. This can surely be revisited if/when this changes... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:46, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:CRYSTAL. It is not uncommon for albums to change titles during production so I agree with Status's comment above. It would be better to wait until there is a more official announcement on this. Aoba47 (talk) 18:15, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Its too early to say if Kylie Minogue and her company Wouldn't Change a Thing about the album title, and the album isn't even officially announced yet. All I See is merely a working title.TheHotwiki (talk) 10:49, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
