I have been improving this article over the past couple of weeks, and feel that it is now ready for FLC. It's inspired heavily by the equivalent singles list, which was promoted to FL back in November 2013. I welcome any ways in which it might be improved. Thanks very much!

Resolved comments from Frankie talk
  • "During the 2000s, the chart was compiled by The Official UK Charts Company (OCC) on" – isn't its current name Official Charts Company?
  • "As single downloads grew in popularity, so too did album downloads".
  • You don't need the domain in ref 5. Also, it's a magazine, so it needs to be in italics.
  • Done. 13:27, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
  • According to WP:OVERLINKING, do not link well-known geographies, so de-link New York City in ref 7.
  • A dead link and a redirect link according to this. Fix em.
  • Done.
  • The navbox template does not link the article anywhere.

Mind leaving some comments here? -- Frankie talk 12:24, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Johanna

Hello! This looks like a very great list. Just a few comments (feel free to discuss these with me)

  • "The most successful artist of the decade was…22 weeks at number one with nine different albums." If possible, could this be sourced? Unless you think it's unnecessary per WP:LEADCITE, I would cite them.
    • I can't find any source that states this explicitly, but each individual week can be cited from the Official Charts Company. My thinking was based on WP:CALC, which says that routine calculations (such as adding up all the weeks that an album was at number one) don't count as original research.

  • "As of February 2015, the UK Album Download Chart continues to be published each week by the OCC." Why is this relevant to this article?
    • I dunno, it just seemed that, since I've devoted so much of the lead to discuss how and why the chart was founded, it might be relevant to discuss whether it's still being compiled today. If you think it's out of place, I'll remove it. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:55, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Should the "by artist" and "by record label" sections be cited?
    • Same kind of argument as above (i.e. WP:CALC). They just felt like the sorts of things that a person could reasonably expect to want to know from reading this article. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:55, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@A Thousand Doors: This is a nicely compiled list. Once again, you can discuss any of these with me that you want. Johanna (formerly BenLinus1214)talk to me!see my work 22:00, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for the review, Johanna! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:55, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support No issues I can spot. A good and very solidly constructed article. Miyagawa (talk) 11:06, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • How embarrassing... I'd completely forgotten that I'd even nominated this. Thank you for the support, Miyagawa! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 23:17, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – About the only thing I see that is worth commenting upon is the presence of a few "noun + -ing" sentence structures in the lead. I see "with a further 825,000 being downloaded during the first three months of 2006" in the second paragraph and a couple more in the third. Try to fix a couple of these if possible. Otherwise, it looks to be in fine shape. Giants2008 (Talk) 03:17, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Think I've got them all. Thanks a lot for the review, Giants2008! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 09:28, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Support – You did get them all. As I said earlier, I thought the list was just about ready for FL, and I think it's there now. Nice job on the article. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:09, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Closing this nomination as passed. Remember that the best way to ensure that future nominations move through the pipeline as fast as possible is to review other editor's nominations! --PresN 21:28, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
