Hi, not sure why my recent edit has been completely reverted. I intended to revert an unconstructive edit. Well, I admit that I'm not familiar with Beyoncé, nor have I conducted "thorough research". Thedarkknightli (talk) 18:02, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe change House to Dance music so it also fits her discography more holistically and not just Renaissance Ravenfate (talk) 15:42, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Or remove Genres from the infobox entirely since it isn't really that helpful and tends to invite edit warring. 216.126.35.174 (talk) 23:22, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The genres should be those widely used by high quality music industry sources, and should be referenced to such sources. Cullen328 (talk) 00:02, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AG202: and @Newpicarchive: who reverted edits that removed the disputed genres can no doubt speak for themselves, but from my perspective, i'm just keen to make sure that whatever consensus is reached, the correct protocols have been followed. You are asking for the immediate removal of certain genres. @GabberFlasted: (on Admin noticeboard) pointed to Dispute Resolution. If you study that, it actually advises against removal, but rather enhancement of the disputed material. So, if the crux of the matter is inadequate sources, then various editors should be given opportinity to correct this and provide references that are more acceptable.Koppite1 (talk) 09:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bascially no one other than user Koppite1 wants to keep these nonsensical genres (afrobeats, house, country) in the infobox --FMSky (talk) 17:13, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see those as nonsensical genres. However, I do see listing *any* genres in the info box as nonsensical since all it does is create nonsensical edit wars. 216.126.35.174 (talk) 10:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As stated by @MuZemike: this article should not be a good article, as it fails criteria #5 (Stable). The page's edit history says it all DollysOnMyMind (talk) 14:13, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure seems like it would be prudent to allow the above Genre conversation to run its course before de-listing this article. Wouldn’t that mostly resolve the stability issue? 173.22.12.194 (talk) 14:22, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so, the article wasn't stable even before the last issue DollysOnMyMind (talk) 14:43, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not now See Good Article Reassessment. Not only is it much preferable to simply improve an existing GA up to standards than delisting, but also explicitly Requesting reassessment during a content dispute or edit war is usually inappropriate. There are good reasons for this. GabberFlasted (talk) 14:44, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As a neutral party, who is not involved in the ongoing genre disputes on this article, I do think this article warrants a Good Article Reassessment. I had mentioned this an archived talk page discussion months prior. A Reassessment discussion should be started to highlight the lack of neutrality and puffery related issues on this article. Just to give a few examples, at one point someone had this woman listed as a pianist in the infobox, her political affliations were being conflated as philanthropy and she was being credited as the founder of the singing/rapping melodic rap style that artists such as Drake have adopted. Not to mention her legal troubles being entirely omitted from the article, which begs the question how this article was classified as a Good Article in the first place, as criteria 3 and 4 were not sufficiently met. Instantwatym (talk) 16:03, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
level-5 vital article is rated GA-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
