Grabbing this for a review if that is okay with you. Aoba47 (talk) 03:01, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lead and infobox

Please add ALT text for the infobox image.
The “Pop” entry in the genre parameter of the infobox is not sourced anywhere in the article.
I would move the Persian script title of the album to an endnote (as done in this example Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game)) to avoid crowding the first sentence with multiple iterations of the title.
For this part (the twentieth studio album by Iranian singer, Ebi,), I would rephrase “Iranian singer, Ebi,” to “Iranian singer Ebi” as the commas around the person’s name is not necessary.
I would separate the first sentence of the lead’s first paragraph into two, with the first one about about the album and singer and the second one about the release date.
Is the information on the online streaming dates really necessary for the lead? I would keep that information in just the body of the article.
I do not agree how the singles are presented in the first paragraph. It seems rather excessive to include the release dates for each song. I would reduce the information down to a sentence or two.
Is there any information on the commercial performance or critical receptions of the album or its associated singles? The article is incomplete without either of these two.

Production

Is there any more information on the production/recording of the album to expand on this section? It seems rather short.
Please link Ebi upon the first time that you reference him in the body of the article.
For this part (The album's production began in 2005, Ebi worked with prominent composers), you will need to either replace the comma with a period or a semicolon as these are two separate ideas and sentences.
For this part (Ebi worked with prominent composers in), how are these composers “prominent”? It reads rather like a fan wrote that part. Unless the “prominent” aspect deals directly with the production of the album, it should be removed.
Is there any information on the composition of the album (i.e. critics talking about the composition of the songs and/or their lyrics and themes)?

Release and promotion

For this sentence (Hesse Tanhaee was released worldwide on 18 March 2011.), you can remove “worldwide”. I would also add the formats in which it was available, to give a greater context to the following sentence on digital downloading.
For this sentence (Shipping and sales were sponsored by EMH Productions, however, delivery to Iran was unavailable.), could you expand on why delivery to Iran was not available?
This sentence is unsourced ( However, its release was delayed until March.).
Again, there does not appear to be much information in this section. Any more information on the release? Anything on live performances, etc.?

Singles

Please combine some of the paragraphs together.
For this part (at the end of the video the camera pans to the chef and then to two bowls filled with worms and insects), there should be a comma after “video”.
For this part (By the end of the video, the remains of a plane from a plane crash are shown,), just say “remains of a plane crash” to avoid the very repetitive language here.
The prose for this section is rather stilted and would benefit from a copy-edit. I would recommend putting in a request from this here.

Track listing

You need to include information on producers in the track listing.
There are a few issues with the sound sample. First, sound samples are not put in the track listing section. There are usually put in a “Composition” section so this will need to be moved up. Second, the usage of non-free media is very strict. Audio samples can only be used if they further illustrate a point about a song beyond prose. Right now, the rationale for the song needs to be expanded to clearly explain its use in the article. Third, the caption for the audio sample is not supported by a source and comes across very much like a fan wrote this, particularly the “emotional and romantic by nature” part. Find a source to support these ideas.

Release history

There needs to be a section for this in the article. Please look to other high quality album articles to see what I am referring to.

Credits and personnel

There needs to be a section for this in the article. Please look to other high quality album articles to see what I am referring to.

References

All of the citations have issues and need to be fully completed. Please look to other high quality album articles to see how to properly do citations.
While YouTube links are allowed, it is encouraged to have more third-party sources. In fact, a majority of these references are either YouTube or from merchants (i.e. Amazon and iTunes), which raises concerns about notability.

Final comments

I will have to be completely honest and say that this article is very bad shape and not ready for GAN in the slightest. I will keep this review open for seven days to allow for a discussion that will hopefully lead to improvements, but there is a lot of work to be done here. The primary issues are there needs to be further expansion on the subject matter, and I am not 100% convinced that this album is notable given the sources provided here. I will leave this open for discussion, and will add more comments if you would like, but please look at more high quality album articles to learn and understand what goes into a GA album article.

Verdict

I am actually going to fail this as it falls far below the requirements needed for a GA. Aoba47 (talk) 01:22, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
