Nominator(s): Pseud 14 (talk) 19:27, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list after working on getting the singer's list of songs, awards, and filmography to FL status. It has gone through a copy-edit to improve the lead. Constructive criticism, in any form and from anyone, will be appreciated.

A pre-emptive comment – The Philippines does not have albums and singles charts that is comparable or equivalent to America's Billboard charts, Australia's ARIA Charts or Japan's Oricon, thus the exclusion of peak chart position columns. The trade organization that awards certifications in the Philippines is PARI, and I’ve included certification sales figure threshold changes over the years. I’ve tried my best to thoroughly search for RS (publications, newspapers, etc.) that are available online, in this case you would find sourcing that only list sales figure or certifications awarded only, where applicable EFNs are included to hopefully help clarify. Happy to address your comments and thanks to all who take the time to review the list. Pseud 14 (talk) 19:27, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments on the lead
  • Why are "compilation albums" and "greatest hits albums" tallied separately? A greatest hits album is by definition a compilation album......
Merged and updated count and lead introduction.
  • "Her succeeding studio albums" - "Her subsequent studio albums" would be more natural English (this applies in two places)
Done
  • Missing full stop after "Velasquez is the best-selling Filipino artist of all time"
Done
  • That's all I got on the lead, will look at the rest later...... -- 07:19, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for your initial review ChrisTheDude! Addressed above comments. Pseud 14 (talk) 12:59, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Further comments
  • My only comments on the tables are about the "promotional singles". What distinguishes a promotional single from a "normal" single? I also checked a couple of the sources - ref 104 just links to the album on Apple Music and confirms that the track was on it but doesn't say anything about it being released as a "promotional single"..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:38, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude:, I've listed under the "promotional singles" table those that were recorded/released as main theme songs for reality shows, drama series, charity singles (e.g. Dept. of Tourism campaign or Operation SMILE). I've added efns along with the in-line citations to clarify the singles' intended release. As for Ref 104, I have replaced this with an official link to Universal Record's YT channel for the promotional single/video for this tribute album, it appears that from the comments made by the label it was somewhat intended as promotional rather than commercial/normal single (it was also the only single released from this album). Hope that helps clarify. Pseud 14 (talk) 18:53, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 18:13, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
*"five extended plays," put (EPs) after as there's no explanation for that abbreviation use in the infobox.
Done
  • "with VIVA Records " our article calls it Viva, not VIVA.
It is alternatively stylized as VIVA, but made the change according to article.
  • "her eponymous debut album that" given it was just called Regine, perhaps say that instead of eponymous.
Done
  • "which won her" her choice of songs didn't win, it was her performance, so perhaps "and won" instead of "which won".
Done
  • Link cover version.
Linked
  • Why isn't Reason Enough linked?
This is the only studio album that currently has no article yet. I was unsure if it's meant to be red-linked or unlinked. I went with the latter instead.
  • "The album has sold" as of when?
Clarified
  • "and signed with Los Angeles-based producer Mark J. Feist's MJF Company, and released" and ... and, too many follow-ons.
Split and fixed
  • Link "certified".
Linked
  • "certified twelve-times platinum " by whom?
Done. Certified by PARI
  • "the Westin Philippine Plaza" in Manila.
Done
  • "were released a month earlier in September" don't need both.
Fixed
  • Where is WW, CHN, THA etc? Needs key/abbreviation hover-over text.
Added hover-text (for PHI, only in the first instance)
  • Don't split Book sources into columns.
Done

That's all I have on a first quick pass. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 18:26, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks The Rambling Man, have addressed the above. Let me know if there's anything I may have missed. Pseud 14 (talk) 19:37, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Image review – Pass

Support from Aoba47

edit
  • Great job with this list. I only have one minor comment. Could you provide further context for the infobox's image caption? It would be nice clarify where she is performing. Like is it a part of a tour, a one-off event, or something else entirely? Once this has been addressed, I will be more than happy to support this FLC for promotion. You have done excellent work with the Regine Velasquez articles and lists. Aoba47 (talk) 02:01, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for taking the time in reviewing Aoba47, fixed the infobox caption and clarified. Pseud 14 (talk) 05:22, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please forgive me if I screw something up...
  • artist) and twenty — should there be a MOS:SERIAL comma given that all other instances use one?
Done
  • first single "Love Me Again" in 1986 — unless she has more than one first single (is that even possible?), there should be commas around "'Love Me Again'"
Fixed
  • the name Chona — can we clarify that this is the artist's name and not, say, the song's name?
i think "under the name Chona" explains it well enough and the next sentence suggests that she adopted the stage name Regine subsequently. Believe that should help clarify it, since songs/singles are enclosed in quotation marks, names aren't.
  • Contest performing the songs — should there be a comma after "Contest"?
Fixed
  • fourth studio album Reason Enough — add a comma after "album"
Fixed
  • her fifth studio album Listen Without Prejudice in — commas around "Listen Without Prejudice"
Fixed
  • the lead single "In Love With You", a duet — unless there is more than one lead single, add a comma after "single"
Fixed
  • As of 2014, the album has sold — any updates (obviously, it's fine if there aren't)?
It still stands as it is. Kept the year of publication as mentioned in the source/reference.
  • were released in the region — the region of... Asia? Isn't Asia a continent?
Region, would refer to Southeast Asia and East Asian regions (within Asia) where the album was only released. It wasn't widely available in the continent as a whole.
  • Los Angeles-based producer Mark J. Feist's MJF Company — probably just my personal preference but I think this bit would flow better with "Mark J. Feist's" at the start
I believe this was addressed by comments from TRM, I'd like to stick to it.
  • album by a female artist in the Philippines → album by a female Filipino artist (nitpick-y but it makes it more concise)
I think it makes more sense to keep it as is. Since style/convention in WP is e.g. Best selling album by an artist in the United States and not Best Selling male/female American artist / Best Selling album by an American artist.
  • The second paragraph appears to contradict itself. First, it says Listen Without Prejudice is the best-selling album of her career, and then, it says R2K is the best-selling album by a female Filipino artist (and thus, that would make it the best-selling album of her career)
Listen Without Prejudice overall is her best selling which includes sales in Asia. That's why I would like to keep "in the Philippines" to distinguish the two, since R2K's record is purely in the Philippines.
  • Velasquez released the soundtrack → Velasquez starred in the soundtrack (technically, Velasquez didn't release it)
I'm not sure I follow you on this, but it's a generally accepted wording to write that an artist released a soundtrack album. What does it have to do with starring on it? Velasquez did star in the film of the same name and at the same time released a soundtrack album for the movie.
  • Its lead single served — can "namesake" be added in front of "lead" so readers know the single's name?
The lead single (Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw) is the album title and the movie title as well. It would be redundant mention it twice. At the same time it's piped/linked to the album article. That should help clarify it.
  • her first live album Regine Live — comma after "album"
Done
  • introduced a gospel inspired album — I believe there should be a hyphen between "gospel inspired"
Done
  • gospel inspired album, Hulog Ka Ng Langit (2013), which — I do not think the commas are necessary as it is not the only gospel-inspired album (in the world)
Done
  • Its singles "Tadhana" and "Hugot" were — unless there are more singles, add commas around "'Tadhana' and 'Hugot'"
Don't think it's necessary on this one.
  • I'm also not sure why "Tadhana" links to UDD (band)
Unlinked
  • and a further million and a half in Asia → and a further million and a half in other parts of Asia
Done
  • According to PARI — should it be the PARI?
PARI would be succinct, it's usually referred to as PARI without any article preceding it.

Ping me once these are resolved! Pamzeis (talk) 04:54, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Pamzeis: Thanks. Addressed the above, comments especially with concerns I raised re use of commas, etc. I've had this copy-edited by GOCE before nominating, which I think any issues with comma usage would have been addressed satisfactorily, unless some may have been missed. Pseud 14 (talk) 15:01, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for the response. I only raised concerns about commas per MOS:COMMA. If you disagree, that's fine but I'll have to refrain from supporting for now. I hope you understand. On an unrelated note, I'd appreciate any comments here. Thanks. Pamzeis (talk) 03:11, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm satisfied enough to support. I apologise if I came off as hostile in any way as that was not my intention. I have to say, your work on Regine Velasquez-related articles is truly impressive. Pamzeis (talk) 14:37, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
