I am nominating this for featured list, now that I've secured three Supports for my FLC of the Linda Lindas discography. Feel free to leave any comments if you don't think this is ready, but I believe it is. – The Sharpest Lives ( 💬• ✏️• ℹ️) ( ping me!) 17:34, 7 July 2024 (UTC) reply

• "The Linda Lindas have recorded 17 songs for album or EP releases, 7 songs as singles, and 5 songs outside albums, totaling 29 songs. Among the 29 songs, 7 of them are covers, and most were produced by Carlos de la Garza, the father of band members Lucia and Mila." - Exact counts like this require a secondary source; we're not allowed to just add a count from our in-wiki table since it could be incomplete. Either way, these numbers will keep on changing and would be a pain to maintain, so I suggest removing them.
• "The band started out as a cover band, playing music from multiple bands such as Le Tigre and the Go-Go's, whose "Tonite" they later covered." - I am a bit confused by the structure of the lead currently. The first paragraph seems to go into a summary of their overall career, and in the second paragraph it is back to describing how they started out?
• You should add some information about the musical genres and lyrical themes explored on the first album. Overall, the lead could deal with some restructuring.-- N Ø 12:04, 26 July 2024 (UTC) reply

  @ MaranoFan: what do you think now? I've restructured the lead and included info on genres and themes. – The Sharpest Lives ( 💬• ✏️• ℹ️) ( ping me!) 00:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC) reply

  Support - Looks superb now. Kudos on the quick improvements!-- N Ø 02:23, 28 July 2024 (UTC) reply

• Lead image could be made larger
• "started out as a cover band, playing music from multiple bands such as Le Tigre and the Go-Go's, whose "Tonite" they later covered" - this reads a bit weirdly - they started out as a band covering the likes of the Go-Gos, whom they covered later? Might be worth adding a little more context to their covering the Go-Gos "later"
• Also, the word "multiple" isn't needed
• "the Linda Lindas' namesake" - I would change this to something like "for which the band was named"
• "The album genre has been classified" => "The album's genre has been classified"
• ""Racist, Sexist Boy" has commonly been compared to riot grrrl sound" => ""Racist, Sexist Boy" has often been compared to the riot grrrl sound"
• "Their second album, No Obligation, is set to release in 2024" => "Their second album, No Obligation, is set to be released in 2024"
• Songwriter(s) column sorts on forename. It should sort on surname
• Song and album titles starting with "The" should sort based on the next word
• Some of the image captions need sources that the song in question is a cover of the band named
• "The Linda Lindas remixed "The News" by Paramore for a remix album entitled Re: This Is Why." - if they simply remixed the original song, this doesn't come under the usual definition of a song they "recorded" so I don't believe it belongs on this list -- ChrisTheDude ( talk) 16:21, 30 July 2024 (UTC) reply
