Michael Jester comments:

General
  1. Make sure nothing is plagiarized (this is just a general thing that I say in all my PRs)
  2. Take a look at other FLs similar to this one (Mariah Carey singles discography, Madonna singles discography)
  3. For the chart used, is there anyway to simplify their name? It looks doesn't look too great with four/five words in a column like that. I know for Canadian Hot 100 you can use CAN. For Spanish Top 50 songs, you can use SPA, or something similar. Also, is Hot 100 Airplay a notable chart that should be listed here? It's a component of the Hot 100 so I don't really think it should be listed here (keep it if I'm wrong).
I fix them. I was only going to say "USA", "MEX" and "SPA" but there's multiple charts from those countries listed. So instead I just went with the country name "USA" and the chart "USA Latin". Hope that's ok. I'm going to see if the problem arise at the second FLC, just in case.
  1. Has Selena charted outside of the US, Mexico, and Spain? Any of the [dutchcharts.nl Hung Medien websites] can help you look for European countries and [chartstats.com Chart Stats] or [theofficialcharts.com The Official Charts] can look for UK charts. Another good website is [acharts.us Acharts.us]
No :( most of her peak positions were removed. Even on Billboard! However, all I have to rely are magazines, newspapers, documentaries and the 1997 movie that JLO played in.
  1. Certifications need citations. Look at {{cite certification}}
Those won't work since none of her certifications are availble through the internet, unless I can use fansites lolz jk.
OK, well either way, if you want this to be a FL, certifications will need citations.
Lead
  1. The opening sentence should state "The singles discography of Selena consist of..." or something similar.
  2. How come there is nothing about her first album? You just jump right into her second studio album.
  3. There is no need for awards/nominations.
Hmm you mean Grammy Awards for Live!?
Yeah.
  1. "After Selena's death over nineteen posthumous singles were released, many of them impacting music charts in the United States and internationally. To date, Selena has sold around 4,435,500 singles worldwide." Both of these two sentences need citations.
Featured singles
  1. For the featured singles, it should say "As featured artist" or something similar.
  2. "Donde Quiera Que Estes" is missing the "(" underneath it.
Singles released from Selena y Los Dinos
  1. Selena y Los Dinos should not be in italics.
  2. Are the singles from Selena y Los Dios necessary? I know she was apart of the band, but this is the singles discography for just Selena, not her band. Once again, if I'm wrong, keep it here.
Will be placed in Selena y Los Dinos discography once I get around to it.
See also
  1. Selena albums discography and Selena y Los Dinos discography link to the same thing. Take away the latter.
References
  1. You don't need an accessdate parameter when citing a book.
  2. Check your references. Most of them are incorrect. Some examples are ref 2. The title should be "Buenos Amigos – Selena", the work should be Billboard, the publisher should be Prometheus Global Media.
  3. Only wikilink an item one time (i.e. Billboard, Prometheus Global Media)

Just to let you know, you can strike-thru my comments if you want to, but make sure you have done it.

Second look through Here are some more comments my second time around:

General
  1. Picture needs WP:ALT.
  2. <strikeThe infobox has 22 promotional singles, but there is no section for it in the article.
  • No need for it. Most of her singles were promotional ones.
Lead
  1. The first sentence should say how many singles, promotional singles, etc there are in her discography. I would also say who Selena is ([...]Selena, a Mexican American singer-songwriter,[...]"
  2. "(1985-95)" should use an en-dash ("–")
  3. ""Contigo Quiero Estar" ("With You, I Want To Be") was the only title track off of Selena's self-titled debut album to impact any music chart." This is wordy. I would say something like ""Contigo Quiero Estar" ("With You, I Want To Be") was the only song from Selena's self-titled debut album to chart." or something similar.
  4. When talking about a music chart for the first time, state which country it is. For example: "US Hot Latin Tracks".
  5. "Also released from her third studio album, Entre a Mi Mundo (1992), "La Carcacha" ("The Jalopy") and "¿Qué Creias?" ("What Did You Think?") became mainstream hits, as it helped Selena to be booked in cities across Mexico" needs a citation.
  6. ¿Qué Creias? needs a translation.
  7. "it had spawned three singles, which were in the top five in the Hot Latin Tracks chart." needs a citation.
  8. The sentence "The four singles, "Amor Prohibido" ("Forbidden Love"), "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom", "No Me Queda Más" ("There's Nothing Left For Me") and "Fotos y Recuerdos" ("Photos and Memories") boost[ed] Selena's fan base and bookings, as she toured in her Amor Prohibido Tour (1994-95) in Puerto Rico, South America and North-eastern United States, where she wasn't once recognized." is very, very wordy and sounds weird. I would change it somehow. Also, Northeastern shouldn't be hyphened. Plus it needs citations.
  • What do you mean about Northeastern?
  1. Needs a citation that she was murdered.
  2. "After Selena's death over nineteen posthumous singles were released" don't user "over", just say the specific amount.
Singles
  1. Change "USA" to "US"
  2. According to WP:DISCOGSTYLE, the charts should be in alphabetical order, with the artist's home country first.
  3. References should be in numerical order.
  • I am not an expert on table uses on discographies. I'll ask another editor to do it as a favor. I'll just end up frustrated lolz.
  1. Certifications still need citations. I know you said {{Cite certification}} did not work, but that's false. I found her US certifications by using it.
  2. Quick question, are you sure she did not chart in Argentina? It's hard for an artist not to chart in a country with a certification.
  3. For the US Rhythmic, why are there two refs if there is only one song that charted there?
  • I'll check is she did. The two magazines didn't state it though, but I'll look on google.new or google.books to make sure.
  1. Footer should expand all the way throughout the chart.
  • I'll ask an editor to do it. Not sure how to.
Other charted songs
  1. Abbreviate the charts.
  2. Charts should be in a difference order.
  3. Refs should be in numerical order.
As featured artist
  1. Abbreviate the charts.
  2. Charts should be in a difference order.
  3. Refs should be in numerical order.
  4. Certifications need citations.
See also
  1. Billboard should be in italics.
Further reading
  1. ISBNs should have dashes in them. (X-XXXX-XXXX-X)
References
  1. I noticed some dates are in DD-MM-YYYY and some are in MM-DD-YYYY. Pick one and be consistent with it.
  2. Use en-dashes "–", not dashes.
  3. Ref 1 – Take out the "Inc." in publisher field
  4. Ref 3 – Billboard should be in italics, publisher needed.
  5. Ref 4 – Instead of page, just use "p."
  6. Ref 5 – ISBN should be formatted "0-7876-2945-6"
  7. Ref 6 – Take out "Inc."
  8. Ref 7 – Author should be formatted Last, First
  9. Ref 10 – Incorrect title, work should just be Allmusic, publisher is Rovi Corporation
  10. Ref 11 – Billboard should be in italics, publisher needed.
  11. Ref 13 – Billboard should be in italics, publisher needed.
  12. Ref 15 – Billboard should be in italics, publisher needed.
  13. Ref 17 – ISBN should be "9-781-8875-9901-6".
  14. Ref 18 – Incorrect title, Billboard should be in italics, publisher needed.
  15. Ref 21 – Incorrect title, Billboard should be in italics, publisher needed.
External links
  1. I would add an external links to her allmusic overview using {{Allmusic}} and her official website (if she has one) using {{Official website}}.

I hope this helps and I might do a third look through if I'm not too busy.

Thanks.  Fixed what I am able to do. I'll ask an editor who is more knowledgeable on tables do the rest. I'll just be frustrated and give up easily. Thanks, AJona1992 (talk) 15:13, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
