Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame

Nominator(s):AJona1992 (talk · contribs) and Erick (talk) 02:12, 21 October 2014 (UTC), [reply]

This list was created as a result of a collaboration between me and AJona1992. This idea came about we talked wanting to make a large contribution to an article related to Latin music and thus list was created. Erick (talk) 02:12, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments:
Fixed, I just removed the "most recipient" bit since I don't think it's that necessary. As for why there was no 2013, the BLMHOF isn't an annual award so there was no inductee in 2013. Erick (talk) 17:09, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I was thinking. And oh, well how often is it given? Or how is it determined when to award it? I don't think that's explained. - DivaKnockouts 17:35, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, neither me or AJona1992 could find when Billboard decides to induct someone in the Hall of Fame. I can go search again, but I'll do that after I deal with that other thing. Erick (talk) 18:53, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, that seems fair enough. DivaKnockouts 07:16, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@DivaKnockouts: Alright, if there's anything else in the list that needs to be resolved, just let us know. Erick (talk) 16:18, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Jaespinoza:  Done Erick (talk) 16:18, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think the list is ready to go. Good job. Support. Javier Espinoza (talk) 01:11, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for taking your time Javier. Erick (talk) 02:40, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • "the merit of each nominee vis a vis" - "vis a vis" sounds unnecessarily flowery (plus I'm not sure it's spelt like that), how aboue just "with regard to"?
  • "Cuban salsa songstress" - "songstress" again seems a bit flowery, how about just "singer"?
  • "his career as a professional conga in Latin music" - isn't a conga an instrument? Surely this should be "conga player" or similar.....?
Think that's it...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:49, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude: I have addressed all of the above. Erick (talk) 16:05, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • three months after she was murdered at the age of 23, and was named the Hot Latin Tracks Artist of the Year - So she was named Hot Latin Tracks Artist of the Year when she was murdered, three months before making the hall of fame? That's what it reads like
  • The lead bothers me. By all rights it should highlight the key points of the list, not reproduce it in more detail. Otherwise, what's the point of a list? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:17, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Crisco1492: On your first point, after looking at it again, I decided to remove since it feels so out of place. On your second point, I need some clarifications. I'm guessing minor points like "Mexican banda group Banda el Recodo became the first musical ensemble to be inducted in the Latin Music Hall of Fame in 2004." doesn't need to be mentioned? I'm basing this list off of Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year which is FL. Erick (talk) 16:59, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • That would be a highlight. In this lead, you mention each and every individual and why they were inducted, which is going to be untenable as the list grows. The lead should be a summary of the list, and not replace it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 17:05, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Crisco1492: Could you please give me any examples or suggestions? I'm still not sure what to do. Erick (talk) 17:29, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comments

  • It would be better to include a description of the winners and why they won it in the table rather than cram it all into the lead. The lead could then be used to establish what the award is, when/why it's awarded, how the award is perceived globally etc.
  • Heavy reliance on the Billboard source, is this award covered by WP:RS other than the people who award it?
  • The template calls it "Latin Music of Fame" - missing a word?

Those are wonderful suggestions TRM! I'll go ahead and revamp the prose and list sometime soon. I don't know if it'll be enough to fix those issues for the FLC in time. I'm somewhat considering withdrawing the FLC so that I can do the necessary change to the article. Cheers! Erick (talk) 17:59, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Erick, if you could let me know if you decide to withdraw and I'll action it for you. Similarly, if you decide you have time to re-work based on the above suggestions, letme know and we can keep it running for a little longer. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 09:39, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Okay after discussing with AJona1992, I think it might be best to withdraw the FLC for now so that we can get extra time to improve on the list per The Rambling Man's suggestions. Erick (talk) 20:22, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Erick: I'll action this shortly. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 13:23, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
