I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it is a comprehensive look at Chrisye's musical output. He never really went international, and Indonesia has not had a single national chart (let alone a long-standing one) like Billboard in the US, so there is no charting information included. The discography is based on the featured lists Rihanna discography and Radiohead discography, and has had a couple quick comments before FLC by GOC. The prose is a bit longer than my previous FL (List of songs recorded by Chrisye), but as there are several milestones which should be brought up in text I see no issue with it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:23, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comments
  • No images?
  • No free images of the artist, other discographies don't have images of collaborators etc. Would an image of the albums edge on, like at List of James Bond novels and stories, be suitable?
  • Any collaborations that should be here?
  • Outside of the singles, Jurang Pemisah, Guruh Gipsy, the first Badai Pasti Berlalu, and the soundtrack for Seindah Rembulan, nothing major (we could count Senyawa as a collaboration with numerous artists, but I've included it as a studio album since Chrisye was the only artist who appeared on every track)
  • "2 tribute or cover albums" which one?
  • 1 tribute album, 1 cover album; will note in the table that Dekade was a cover album
  • No need to abbreviate LCLR since you never use it again.
  • Done
  • "went on to sell over 9 million copies" nine million.
  • Done
  • "Because of disappointment with his only major acting role" whose disappointment?
  • Refactored
  • "having found his muse" explain?
  • Refactored
  • "three more were released the year of his death" which was when?
  • Says 2007 in the first paragraph. Have duplicated it.
  • En-dash for sales/certifications needs to be explained.
  • Done
  • Can you confirm ref 12 says that sales were "poor"?
  • Quick and dirty translation: "The album was called Pantulan Cita. No hits came out of it. I was seeing critical shadows." FN29 also supports that the sales were poor if you want me to cite it
  • Which country certification are you using? Probably need to explain what it all means.
  • Indonesia. It appears the certifications have changed since they were established (the music industry has been on the decline for a while), so sales on Aku Cinta Dia (which went gold) would be something like 15x platinum now. No sources on what the sales figures used to be, but we can compare Aku Cinta Dia (1985; gold) to Dekade (2002; double platinum) and tell that the standards have changed dramatically. For comparison, current numbers are 35,000 for gold 75,000 for platinum. (source)
  • Some sales are individually referenced, some aren't. Why?
  • Combined to the first row. I had kept those with sales referenced to different sources as separate footnotes
  • Similar comment to the one item with "Poor" reception.
  • Removed (I had missed that when GOP commented that the tables should not have uncertain data)
  • "with director and date" mostly "without director" and year, not date.

Comments
  • Should the lead be ideally trimmed down to four paragraphs, five at most going by WP:LEAD? - Lemonade51 (talk) 22:32, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Down to five, I'd like further suggestions for removal (if there is content considered extraneous) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:13, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • This was published on 2 August 2008, not 22 as it is stated on the bibliography
  • "to sign Chrisye;[8] Chrisye would stay with the company for the rest of his career" To avoid repetition, replace bold bit with 'He'. Lemonade51 (talk) 21:48, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Quick comment – The Ade Irwansyah-authored article needs to have a publisher indicated. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:49, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Done. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:56, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments'
  • Do Jumpa Pertama and Pergilah Kasih both translate as "first meeting"?
  • Nope. Fixed.
  • There's a few cells in the Singles table that could be given a rowspan to read easier; all of the "Single only" cells for 1990 and 1992 are consecutive and could be merged with a rowspan of 3; the final two of the table could also be merged.
  • Done.
  • The "year" fields change width quite drastically between tables; I'm not a stickler for uniformity but the extreme narrowness in the Music videos table could be expanded a bit,
  • Is it your monitor, perhaps? They both look the same to me (year fields are only in singles and music videos. I could force the table width, but that would result in a lot of white space. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:50, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure what's causing it, but under "Singles" the column is 110px, under "Music videos" it's about 35px wide. Maybe force them both to be 45, 50px? GRAPPLE X 00:55, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmm, now the first field in the singles chart is stretching way beyond 16em, but I think it's just on my end as changing the width did nothing. If it displays fine to you then leave it as is. GRAPPLE X 01:54, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Inclined to support this one, nothing I've seen is a deal breaker. GRAPPLE X 19:43, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:47, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Changes are good, I'm happy to support. GRAPPLE X 01:54, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I see no issues with the list. Afro (Talk) 06:14, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
