I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that it is of sufficient quality. I believe that this article meets the necessary FL criteria, and I welcome any comments about ways in which it could be improved. Thanks very much!

Comments

A couple of minor copy edits made - please feel free to revert if you disagree with them.

"indie labels" It's informal, so I'd prefer independent labels in our part of the text. It needs explaining for the quote though as some won't necessarily make the link: perhaps bracketing "indie labels" after the first linked occurrence "Albums released through independent record labels (indie labels) often perform well…"
Comma needed between "year-end, best-of charts"
Beastie Boys image: possibly link " hip-hop"

Very minor points indeed and good work. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 05:39, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done all. I've put "indie" in brackets after the first use of "independent". Does that work? A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 14:38, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support All good: nice work! - SchroCat (talk) 14:45, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A few minor comments

I would remove the redirect (HMV -> [[HMV Group|HMV]])

Okay. But why?

The redirect might get turned into a dab page somewhere down the road. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:46, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough then. Done. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 21:40, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just so I understand it, currently the list is compiled from 30 sources, but in the past this number has included 60? This might be made a little clear in the lead. Ruby 2010/2013 01:26, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's a little confusing. From what I can tell, the poll has only ever been compiled each year using about 30-35 sources, but obviously over the years the sources have changed. As of last year, more than 60 different listings have, at some point, contributed towards the Poll of Polls. Which part of the lead do you think needs to be changed to make this clearer?
Thank you very much for the review, Ruby! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 19:40, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support I see no reason why this list should be barred from promotion. Prose is good and the content seems solid. Ruby 2010/2013 19:53, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments from Crisco 1492

Subsequent polls have been topped by acts such as Daft Punk, Queens of the Stone Age and Kanye West. - Any reason for choosing these acts?

Not particularly, other than that they're reasonably well known (compared with, say, Joanna Newsom or Animal Collective). I think I also wanted to pick three artists from three different genres – we've got an electronic act, a rock act and a hip hop artist.

Otherwise looks fine, both for images and prose. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:48, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the review, Crisco! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 13:37, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support on prose and images, looks like a good list. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:58, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
