Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award[edit]

Nominator(s): Erick (talk) 20:28, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this list as my first attempt on the Latin Grammy Awards (special awards are my specialty). I asked for input from Another Believer and Jaespinoza and both have provided positive feedback to the list. Per AB's suggestion, I used the Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year as the basis of this list as it is a featured list and they both worked on it. I will keep touch despite my busy college schedule. Erick (talk) 20:28, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It is strange to see a list without a single picture. There is room to the right of the table for some photographs of notable winners. Mattximus (talk) 01:09, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mattximus: I've thought about adding pictures prior to nominating for FL, but then I realized I would have to justify why one artist has their picture added and not the other among the 70+ artists who were given the award as well. I can foresee editors changing and removing pictures just because their favorite artist wasn't included in the gallery. They are not always needed, see Latin Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Tropical Album, which is as FL and has no pictures of any artist who won. I'm not against it, but I would need ideas on how to implement them since adding too much would clutter the whole page. Erick (talk) 01:39, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose What an uninformative and dull list. I'm not given a single piece of information about any of the people in the list apart from their nationality - nothing about their instrument/voice or career or the reason they were given the award, no birth/death dates, no photographs (and photographs can easily be integrated into the list itself, as in Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year), not sortable. Three names are given with no article or redlink - how can they not be notable enough for an article if they've won a lifetime achievement award of this nature? This doesn't currently deserve to be held up as an example of Wikipedia's finest work - it's simply a list of names on a page. Bencherlite ^Talk 10:30, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, well okay, you do have a point. I will withdraw the nomination so that I can work and the list again based on your comments. Erick (talk) 16:21, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawing, per nominator. --Pres N 02:27, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
