The Featured Music Project process |
---|
|
The Featured Music Project is an attempt to produce a large number of featured articles on musical artists and to improve the content and organization of existing articles in this area. The Featured Music Project seeks to improve the Featured Article Candidates process through the promotion of specific standards for featured articles on musical artists.
The set standards of the Featured Music Project are not meant to be an exhaustive set of criteria. Passing a Featured Music Project review is only the first step on an article's journey to become featured. The FMP review signifies that the article meets all basic standards, and is a good candidate to be reviewed in more detail. This means that all elements of a good article are in place, and that there are no serious flaws in an article. The next step is a peer review, where the entire article will be examined for more specific problems and issues. The last step is the featured article candidacy, which will involve the last little bit of tweaking that the article requires.

Articles on musicians, bands and other musical groups should be evaluated according to the below criteria, according to the guidelines set forth on the FMP Evaluation page. This evaluation should be recorded on a subpage specifically devoted to evaluating that article, and should work towards the article achieving as many of the guidelines listed below as possible. Once the article has passed at least five out of the eight categories, it should be listed on the FMP Status page. That page will attract some attention and constructive feedback for the article, in preparation for a full peer review and eventual featured article candidacy.
These guidelines cover most articles on non-classical musical performers. They are guidelines, rather than prescriptions: given the diversity of the area, some of the guidelines may not apply to certain articles.
All references to 'performers' cover both groups of performers and, where appropriate, individual performers.
Articles on performers:

An article is generally considered to pass this category when it has a properly-formatted "References" section with all sources used to write or confirm the article listed, including print sources, both autobiographical and scholarly and critical in nature, as well as inline citations as needed, in some acceptable and consistent format.
Typically:
An article is generally considered to pass this category when the topic's discography is amply comprehensive in the main article in question.
An article is generally considered to pass this category when it is written in generally coherent English, has an acceptable structure and an appropriately limited number of external links and see also links, and is wikified correctly, and has no "Trivia" or similarly inappropriate sections.
