Merger proposal[edit]

Top-selling American Idol alumni is entirely unsourced with sales figures, chart positions and certifications being added, subtracted, up and down at the seeming whim of whomever edits the article at the moment. While the idea seems to be that it allows for the comparison of the various artists' sales, the uncited, undated figures do not allow for any meaningful comparison. Sales figures and chart positions are found in the various artists' articles, the album articles and the artists' discography articles. This article, meanwhile, serves as a reasonable navigation guide to the individual albums. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 15:44, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose merge, for now. If sourcing is the problem, then we should work on that problem, not simply merge it. S. Dean Jameson 01:52, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I just realized how old this is. I'm removing the tag, as if no discussion was generated before now, there's no consensus to do the merge. S. Dean Jameson 02:34, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of American Idol contestants discography's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "brookewhite.com":

  • From Brooke White: "Brooke White's first CD Songs From the Attic".
  • From Songs from the Attic: "Brooke White's first CD retrieved from www.brookewhite.com".

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 06:54, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
