Reviewer: IPadPerson (talk · contribs) 14:49, 4 January 2015 (UTC) I think that this article has everything in good shape to be promoted. All of the sources are reliable, the writing is correct, and there are no copyright violations. Any other input? - IPadPerson (talk) 14:49, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you IPadPerson for taking this review :). When can the review be expected to begin? Marano ^fan 15:20, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@MaranoFan: Either later today or sometime tomorrow. IPadPerson (talk) 15:46, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@IPadPerson: Thanks for taking up the review! Though I'm a bit busy as of late, I'll be here to address any possible issues! - Lips ^{are movin} 15:51, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comment Why isn't there a stand-alone page for Trainor's discography? I think her discography has enough information to have its separate article. Simon (talk) 12:09, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:Chasewc91 insists that per WP:SIZESPLIT that her discography can't have an article of its own.- Lips ^{are movin} 13:00, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@HĐ and Lips Are Movin: Though it is not by just one user's opinion. I myself believe that the discography shall stay in Trainor's bio. Over the time, consensus has been made in favour of such. -- Marano ^fan 13:42, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done per Lips Are Movin and MaranoFan comment(s). IPadPerson (talk) 19:37, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: IPadPerson, since you initiated the review, it is you who must leave comments on how to improve the article. If you feel the article is well-written enough, all information is reliably sourced, the article includes all major aspects without going into excessive detail, is neutral, is stable, and (if possible) illustrated by appropriately licensed and relevant images, you may pass the article for GA. See WP:Good article nominations/Instructions#Reviewing and feel free to ask other editors who have conducted GA reviews (such as myself) if you have any questions and/or need assistance reviewing.

@SNUGGUMS: I didn't know that since this is my first GA review. Thanks anyway!

To do

2014-present: Breakthrough with Title

The pair offered the track to various record labels and recording artists, including Beyoncé and Adele, to which they were unsuccessful --> I would suggest using "which proved unsuccessful" to make it sound more persistent.

Done

Period should be removed from the section's picture caption per WP:CAPFRAG.

Done

Public image

Her fanbase collectively identify as Megatrons --> I would suggest changing it to Her fanbase are collectively identified as Megatrons

Done

-More will be added later. IPadPerson (talk) 22:23, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All addressed. - Lips ^{are movin} 22:45, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this article has recently become unstable due to the recent edit warring and content dispute. Snuggums (talk / edits) 06:38, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've had an eye on this article for a bit. Have to agree with Snuggums. The article needs a bit of work in the first place, and the lack of stability is enough to fail it for now, with no opposition from me for a renomination in at least a month. Gloss 06:42, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What aspects "need a bit of work"? - Lips ^{are movin} 07:12, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SNUGGUMS and Gloss: Please, can't we not fail this now. A lot of work has clearly been put in c/e. Also, the article is in good shape. The content doesn't change "significantly" according to me and the recent additions have been a result of Title's release :(-- Marano ^fan 07:33, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Marano, but unstable articles are an automatic fail according to GA criteria. It's unstable right now because of an ongoing content dispute, not because of the recent updates for her album. Snuggums (talk / edits) 07:35, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Then I guess it doesn't pass GA. Thank you all for your comments in advance. IPadPerson (talk) 13:58, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
