Nominator(s): -- Rhain1999 (talk to me) 14:26, 5 April 2014 (UTC), CR4ZE (t • c) 14:34, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This list presents all licensed music from in-game radio stations on Grand Theft Auto V, one of the most successful video games in history. -- Rhain1999 (talk to me) 14:26, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Leaning toward oppose. Why aren't there any citations for the songs (besides PlayStationLifeStyle, which I'm not sure is reliable), for what genres/formats they are, or (where applicable) for where they appear? The intro also seems too short; it doesn't talk about production, the various stations and formats available, or the background of the game. And some of the citations have incomplete formatting. Tezero (talk) 18:09, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Tezero, looks like Rhain1999 addressed your concerns. CR4ZE (t • c) 11:03, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Talk stations" still has no citations while "Other in-game music" only cites one of the three songs. And I really don't think an IGN wiki is a reliable source. Tezero (talk) 14:35, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've added citations to "Talk stations," and the citation in "Other in-game music" applies to all three songs (to avoid confusion, I've shown this). Also, I've replaced the IGN Wiki reference with an article from Metro. -- Rhain1999 (talk to me) 02:32, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose tables fail WP:ACCESS, they need col and row scopes per MOS:DTT. Some WP:DASH violations. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:11, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I would go to the comment of Rambling Man since that is like the problem here. But I have some more comments: Why are the songs arranged alphabetically by artists? I think it's better if it's ordered according to songs in default because they're the topic here. It's a songs list/soundtrack article. Make that song column in row scopes. I hate to see that "1985 version" footnote there; it's unnecessary as the year and artist is already there. I think the tables need more info like the writers, length, etc. Link "DJ" for the first time, and delink the other "DJ" just after that. Link everything that is linkable in Other in-game stations section. Italicize "The Hollywood Reporter" in ref 3. Thanks. — Mediran (t • c) 03:56, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your comments.
@Mediran: I'm going to make an attempt to order the songs by their default listing in the game. As for extra columns in the tables: is it really necessary? I think finding the writers for each song would be quite difficult and very time-consuming, and finding the length would be a similar process (a lot easier, but still quite time-consuming). Additionally, if you look at List of songs in Guitar Hero II (a Featured List), there are six columns: Year, Song title, Artist, and then three other columns directly relating to the game itself (which would not work in this article). They do not include anything about the length, or the writers, of the songs. However, if you really feel that the article needs this extra information, then I guess I'll try and find some time to research it and add it to the article. -- Rhain1999 (talk to me) 05:08, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I was not expecting replies for this but OK. OK. About those extra columns. Well, that's just my comment. If you feel like strongly against that, well that's OK. More comments. The list is really not like FL right now. Lead is too short. Citing the article you've linked above, see its lead? That's what your lead should look like. (See List of songs in DJ Hero, etc.) I think you should just merge prod section with lead (if that's OK). Tables should have the same width: "They're not pleasing to the eye" and by that I mean it's hard to browse because the tables aren't consistent. The songs are still not sorted alphabetically. Like that "Guitar Hero" article you linked, the songs in its list are arranged alphabetically. Please fix this list's. Please. The list needs images. Try adding some artists/contributors images to make it more appealing and not boring to browse. Other in-game music section has no prose text, try to add some. Just saw this: "Additionally, WCTR also features..." I think you should drop "also" there. Still oppose. There are so much more to do to make this FL. — Mediran [talk] 02:47, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delegate comment - I don't see this going anywhere in the near future. I'm archiving this. Please work over the issues brought up here before trying to nominate again. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:55, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
