Kylie Minogue[edit]
What have we got to do to get this to featured article status? - Ta bu shi da yu 01:37, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Some criticality. It's not as grossly hagiographic as Mariah Carey, but it's not far off - David Gerard 22:39, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Also some discussion of, as they say, "the music" would be great. Hyacinth 23:44, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- What an odd comment. The sixteen paragraphs under the heading "Recording career" discuss specifically, and almost exclusively, "the music" (as they say). Rossrs 09:30, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I'd love to see it get there one day. I've done quite a bit on that article too, including a rewrite to try to make it less like a Fanzine, which was a fair comment then, but I think a less fair comment now. I also think the music itself is discussed sufficiently and with a degree of criticism - plus there are links to every album. I don't know what else needs to be said there. Perhaps critical comments that can actually be sourced (critical comments by definition being both positive and negative) My suggestion is to go back over previous featured articles such as Johnny Cash (in my opinion a good article to use as a template), and Duran Duran (which I don't think is a good article but that's my opinion), and even some other biographical ones such as Lottie Dod. Examine the type of language used, sources cited, criticisms etc. If you can come up with something that looks related to one of the other successful candidates, any future nomination may have a better chance.

- just to clarify. I think the Duran Duran article is good, what I meant to say is that it's not helpful in trying to fix Kylie Minogue, because it's really similar in its style and content - and yet it got to be a Featured Article - how, I don't know. Only thing different is that it's got a bunch of sources listed, but KM doesn't..... Rossrs 03:39, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Have now done a fairly extensive rewrite. Have added quite a few quotes from reviews from each phase of her career. God help me, the article is replete with criticality. It also has even more discussion of "the music". And I've also listed references. I'm not totally happy with it, for one thing I think it's now very long, but I think it's heading in the right direction. Anybody, please look at it, comment ... whatever. I'm sure it can be whipped into shape. thanks Rossrs 18:15, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I haven't had much of a chance to rereview this. I'll try to do this soon! - Ta bu shi da yu 08:15, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- OK, I've read through it. I personally think that it talks about the music in some depth, and I think it would be good enough to go on FAC :-) Ta bu shi da yu 12:59, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
