What are the criteria for the info being sourced or not (It wasn't me who added that info back), but some other achievements aren't sourced either?

Like the "Artists with the most cumulative weeks at number one". One has to add them up in their heads... Billboard only lists the amount of weeks spent at #1 by a certain song, not the overall artist numbers.

In the same way, one has to add the weeks manually/in their heads to know the total weeks at #1 from "x" album. So, what's the difference? 2A01:11:320:1340:989D:410C:53CE:1EB8 (talk) 00:18, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And then "Fifteen songs released on an independent record label have reached number one on the chart" doesn't have a single source...

@2A01:11:320:1340:989D:410C:53CE:1EB8: Without a source, that could be removed from the article as original research. That's why I assume that a fact about Korn that has been commented out in that section for lack of a reference. It's always best to provide a source. The independent section also might need to be altered, since it does not have a source. There is one for the first three - "Come Out and Play", "What It's Like", and "Panic Switch" here: https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/chart-beat-lady-gaga-kenny-chesney-silversun-pickups-26835. But none of the rest of them. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 00:58, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Listing the Grammy Award "year ceremony airs" as the year of the award is wrong. I know you know this. If we don't feel like going thru all the trouble of correcting the page, then each listing should say "won Grammy for Album, single, whatever" of the year without mentioning the (wrong} year at all.Hotcop2 (talk) 02:14, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is an exploratory footnote at the top of each table in the article that reads "Each year is linked to the article about the Grammy Awards held that year." If you want to change the formatting of the whole List of Grammy Award categories, you're likely going to need community consensus for that, seeing as that would be a significant change to several pages. The year of the ceremony was likely selected because the Grammy eligibility period is not the Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 calendar year but one that spans two different years (i.e. late 1980 albums such as Double Fantasy are not eligible for the awards presented in 1981 but are for the awards for 1982). Changing just one year in one table so there's a duplicate 1981 and no 1982 doesn't work. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 02:24, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I took this to the talk page before but nobody "talked" back. I realize it's a BIG task, which I why I suggested a bunch editors get on board, pick a decade, and make the adjustments, to which nobody responded. It can stay wrong here, but I've changed it on Christopher Cross' and Lennon's page because it was incorrect.Hotcop2 (talk) 13:41, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi and thanks for adding some good material and references there. You left an error in the referencing though; I'm assuming that there was only one "Aswad" source? If so, I think I have fixed it. If not, could you take another look please? 84.66.42.64 (talk) 19:02, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there was only one of those references. Thanks for fixing it! Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 20:07, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Precious

One year!

I speak from Old England rather than the newer version, which I assume is equally lovely. Having watched the 'Deaths' page for years now, I never fail to notice how often some 'dear departed Yank' was a member of (and there appears to be an infinite variety of them) one 'Hall of Fame' or another. Does everyone in the States have at least a mention in one of those 'Halls' ? Equally, and the more obscure the individual the more this occurs, but those closely, or even loosely, connected with the music industry are described in their own Wiki articles as 'Grammy nominees'. It seems as if not winning something is deemed perfectly acceptable/notable. I have lost track of how many things I have failed to win. Perhaps I could amass a heap of money placing all sorts of fools in the soon to be created 'Never Won Bugger All' Hall of Fame ! Best wishes. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 22:09, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is just something that has been noted in those pages for some time - mostly for sports, but music in this case - and I happen to regularly edit pages involving that particular Hall of Fame. Also I would like to note the last Rock Hall inductee to have died and be listed on that page was not American. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 22:29, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I am no expert but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame seems to have as many distractors as devotees. To be fair, the Wiki article does spend some time commenting on that very subject. Whilst Richard Tandy may well have been the most recent, I'll be surprised if most (if not all) of the next 20 reported deaths falling under that 'title' are Americans. As far as being Grammy nominees are concerned, I suppose I should edit in how many musos fail to win a Brit Award - like me. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 23:07, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Is the following deceased person considered notable according to wikipedia guidelines? https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29512682/lionel-elika-fatupaito-dead-olympic-village/amp/ FerasWebsite (talk) 17:06, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure. I'm not familiar with the sports notability guidelines, I mostly work on music articles. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 17:22, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, thank you for your reply. 2A01:9700:12CB:9500:11ED:B84E:8935:20C (talk) 17:24, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
