[edit]The nominator of this 2006 promotion has not edited for over a decade, and this article has not been maintained to standards. See this list from 2020-11-01; I can provide more if someone engages to improve the article. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:43, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Sourcing
The sourcing is pretty dodgy, as well.
- Unconvinced that the website for Paradise Inn Curriacou is a high-quality RS.
- From a quick spot check, the claim "The leading figure in the promotion of the Cadence-lypso was the Dominican group Exile One" is not supported by the source, which only states that it (as well as another group) were popular Dominican bands from the genre.
- Kizombalove.com is probably not RS
- Ditto with funkyorgan.
- Formatting issues abound
- It looks like there's a lot of accretion of text into previously cited spots that probably aren't supported by the sources.
- Other comments
- A lot of this article is incomprehensible to a non-expert. Like SandyGeorgia, I was unable to figure out what kadans is from this article.
- Honestly, some of the Exile One details seem kinda spammy.
- In general, there's a lot of claims of what bands are popular, but they all seem to be rather promotional.
- Sound clips
- I have doubts that WP:NFCC really is okay with having four audio clips as minimal use, but I'm not an expert in this area. A copyright expert would be needed to look at this. However, I have checked the two audio clips in the British Antilles section, and both are too long. I got the song lengths off of Amazon, and if those song lengths are correct, both clips exceed the maximum length from the chart at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Music samples. Both are under 5:00 in length it seems, so the 30 second clips are too long. Didn't check the other two audio files.
Yeah, so this is nowhere close. Hog Farm Bacon 05:46, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Delist still no engagement; large unsourced / poorly sourced material. Femke Nijsse (talk) 15:08, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Delist Absolute mess. Hog Farm Bacon 17:19, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Closing note: This removal candidate has been delisted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please leave the {{featured article review}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. (yes normally we'd leave this in FARC for two weeks but consensus is clear and a list cleanup might make for more focus on saveable articles) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:57, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
