Comments
  • The title column widths for the singles section should probably be kept uniform.
  • "with Snoop Dogg featuring Bruno Mars" → "with Snoop Dogg, featuring Bruno Mars"
  • No reference given for the peak chart position of "High".
  • Seems a bit odd to use the phrase "Peak chart positions for singles..." in references for the "Other charted songs" section, especially since the table caption for that section reads "List of non-single songs".
  • A count of 20 music videos is listed in the infobox and lead, but 21 are listed in the actual section. Needs to be updated.
  • "Black and Purple" should also be included in the guest appearances section.
  • No need to italicize "Deluxe Version" in the AllMusic reference for F.A.M.E.
  • AllMusic URL for Wiz Khalifa in the external links section needs to be updated.

All Done. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 08:56, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comments:

  • In the "Collaborative albums" section, the "span" tag should be used instead of the "small" tag.
  • Commas need to be added to one more instance of "with Snoop Dogg featuring Bruno Mars" in the music videos section.

  • Since Mac & Devin Go to High School is listed a soundtrack album on its page, I would personally suggest adding it to a section for soundtrack albums. Collaborative albums can come in all kinds – studio, live, compilation, etc. If the collaborative albums section remained, then technically How Fly and Live in Concert could be added.
Mac & Devin Go to High School is technically both of these types of album. A similar precedent is Idlewild by OutKast, which is also both type of album. However, the infobox for Idlewild has the "type" listed as "studio", and Mac & Devin is set as "Soundtrack", even though the article pages for both have both types listed (hope you're still following this). As there is clearly no consensus on this issue, I propose that Mac & Devin remain listed as a collaborative album for consistencies' sake until there is some consensus (see also He Got Game by Public Enemy, which is listed in the studio album section of their discography). The mixtape point is interesting, as mixtapes have never been listed in collaborative album sections before – they just seem to be regarded as a different entity by other editors. Again, I think consistency and precedent may decide this one. However, these are certainly points to raise in the future.

I actually had been suspecting that the dual-album type listed for Mac & Devin Go to High School had something to do with its listing. Since there appears to be no clear consensus about how to categorize the album in this case, I can accept its listing as a collaborative album for now. If and when a consensus can be reached about how to handle this case, then the necessary changes can be made to the discographies of both artists. Holiday56 (talk) 13:18, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, these are the last of my comments. The article is very close to garnering a support vote from me. Holiday56 (talk) 11:00, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As all my comments have been addressed, I can now add another Support vote to this nomination. Holiday56 (talk) 13:18, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments
  • Overall very solid; though I'm not keen on the large amount of white space present here; it's particularly noticeable beside the "Mixtapes" and "Music videos" tables. The Wiz Khalifa article does feature a few good images you could slot in beside these to help break that up.
  • Oh, no, not copyrighted material; certainly nothing would justify fair use for this purpose. I mean images like File:Wiz Khalifa 7, 2012.jpg, which is not only released under a creative commons license but is a nice height-to-width ratio to sit comfortably beside a table. If you prefer not to use any that's fine but I only meant for you to consider free images (the Wiz Khalifa category on Commons is also quite healthy so there should be a few to choose between).

  • Although the en dashes in the article are used correctly; I believe the American custom (subject is American so ENGVAR points east) is to use unspaced em dashes instead. I don't know if anyone's going to be a stickler for it but it might be worth bearing in mind.
  • "which reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and entered the top ten of many other national charts.[6][7][8][9]" -> the four cites at the end here looks a little dense, it might be more presentable to list the countries with a cite after each; "which reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100,[6] and entered the top ten of many other national charts, including those of Australia,[7] New Zealand, [8] and Switzerland.[9]". Even moving ref 6 to right after it's needed in the sentence would quarter the issue.
