Nominator(s): Another Believer (Talk) 15:25, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this list for FL status because I believe it meets all criteria and closely resembles other Grammy-related lists that have bee promoted. Thank you for your time and feedback, reviewers. Another Believer (Talk) 15:25, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your support and for the suggestion. However, the article is already linked in the lead, so I do not think it should be added to the See also section. --Another Believer (Talk) 21:38, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • "In 1992, the two categories were combined and presented as the category Best Jazz Vocal Album. This category was later renamed to Best Jazz Vocal Album beginning in 2001." I don't get it. Looks like the same name to me.
Corrected. --Another Believer (Talk) 18:26, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the table's Work column, Round Midnight isn't sorting in the proper order. It's sorting before the As. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 16:45, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The song's title contains a "'", as in slang for "around". Certainly willing to remove the punctuation mark for sorting purposes if preferred or required by MoS. --Another Believer (Talk) 18:26, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • The N/A template doesn't sort properly.
How does one make it sort properly? --Another Believer (Talk) 15:03, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Adding {{sort}} around the template with "zzzzz" as the sortkey should do the trick to put it at the end. — KV5 • Talk • 21:17, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I can't seem to get it to work with the regular "sort" template or the "Hs" (hidden sort) template. What am I doing wrong? --Another Believer (Talk) 02:23, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Any progress on this issue? Dabomb87 (talk) 17:44, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I requested a revisit on KV5's talk page. --Another Believer (Talk) 02:38, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have tried everything I know on this without success. Because the {{n/a}} template is commonly used in comparison tables, and this is not a comparison table, I would remove the template and replace with centered em-dashes representing blanks. Same applies to the "Female" list. — KV5 • Talk • 18:48, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done (both lists). --Another Believer (Talk) 19:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The table needs a caption.
Better? "Chronological list of award recipients and nominees along with all nominated works"... (Note: This is inconsistent with other Grammy FLs, but I am not sure of current table requirements.) --Another Believer (Talk) 02:23, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some clarification should be made as to why some entries are italicized and some are in quotations (I know why but will the average reader?), preferably a key which also explains that the "years" link to that year's Grammys and not to a year article.
Done. Added "(songs or albums)" to the lead. A note about the Grammy years already exists below the table. --Another Believer (Talk) 15:03, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "1982 award winner, Al Jarreau" - I think the link to the 1982 Grammys is extraneous here, and remove the comma (see the other captions)
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 15:03, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Be consistent in your references; you have some publishers and some papers linked and others not. Reference works and publishers should be linked at each occurrence of a term, not once and done, because there's no guarantee that a reader will see the linked term if they don't go to the first reference.
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 15:03, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Toolbox indicates three paywalled references and one uncategorized redirect, please check and confirm.
I think I fixed the link that changed paths, but I am not sure what is problematic with the three "truncated" links, as passwords are not required to view the material. --Another Believer (Talk) 02:23, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The last two images should have period removed from the end of their alt-texts as they are not complete sentences.
Done. --Another Believer (Talk) 15:03, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hope these comments help. — KV5 • Talk • 17:45, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Much thanks, KV5. I did not address your concern about the N/A sorting (problem with template within template?) and I am not sure how to correct the three "paywalled" references. If they need to be replaced for any reason please let me know. --Another Believer (Talk) 02:23, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support — KV5 • Talk • 19:23, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Legolas! The two Jazz Vocal Performance lists have been on my "to do" list for a while now, so I am glad to finally see them at FLC. --Another Believer (Talk) 15:18, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
