In my opinion, the old, less popular singers of standards are really overlooked, and so have far less detailed articles. One of these cases was Eddie Fisher, whose page I've revamped, and I've also done several articles for his albums. Other such cases were Jack Jones, a more pop-styled singer, and Ed Ames, an MOR style type of singer. Ed Ames' catalogue was almost untouched on Wikipedia, so a lot of my work can be there now. Other artists I hope to work on more in the future are: Jimmy Roselli, Peggy Lee, Bobby Vinton, Jerry Vale (already made some improvements), and John Gary. Below is an article made more than a decade ago, which was Stub-class, but I've revamped it and made it more comprehensive, though it can always be better.
Catch a Rising Star (this shows how an empty page can be expanded into a better and more informative article, and have its Stub assessment changed).
I've also tried expanding other pages, like the songwriters' Eddie Snyder and Bobby Russell articles. But I'm most proud of the Jerry Vale main page, which shows how much information could be added to the short pages that we have now.
The main bold goal I have is to note that an album charted. Either on the discography page, album article, or the singer's article. Now that includes all charting albums from 1945-1972, that charted on the Billboard Top LPs. This information will be from Whitburn's chart book. Also, sometimes I will add Cashbox chart data. These are references for later, and the ones I use a lot. Feel free to use them as well ([1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]).
This, of course, will take a long time, but I want to bring this data "back from the dead". The chart runs show the album's commercial lifespan, and the peak positions show the popularity. All of this is really important in my eyes.
As of June 11th, I completed 53/160 pages (about 33%). Also, a note, I will not add charting album info for bands/singers who don't have a Wikipedia page (since where would I add the info?) unless there is another way to add them, for example, a singer who was in a band, but the band doesn't have an article, so I'll add it to his page. A couple more things about how I'm doing this:
1. If the charting album has an article. I'll add the chart info, reference, and table chart to its page.
2. If the charting album does NOT have an article, the chart info and reference go to the discography article/singer's main article
3. If a chart table exists but lacks a reference, I will add a proper citation. The same applies to discography pages.
These are previous existing articles, that have been redirected for notability and size reasons, but I've restored and expanded heavily since they're notable per WP:NALBUM.
Ed Ames singles and albums, expanding everything related to them. Alternatively, working on Wikipedia drafts or stuff related to Chris Montez's discography.
If you have any questions, ideas, or feedback on my edits, please feel free to reach out on my talk page — I’m always open to discussion! And since I'm Eastern European, I know my English won't be great, so if you have any notes on my writing, you can let me know.
↑Got rid of the entire backlog in September 2025, with hundreds of pages. <- That was the main goal, which I did, but I still check in on the unassessed pages from time to time, clearing 33 to clear the backlog in August 2026.
