This article has previously been nominated to be moved. Please review the prior discussions if you are considering re-nomination.
I've been meaning to spruce this page up for that, but couldn't previously find an ideal time to do so. Thankfully it doesn't look like any falsified sources remain that led to the page being delisted in 2012. Either way, we should go for PR before renominating. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 14:25, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
I think i’d like to do a nice little CE if I can. 750h+ 14:37, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
Go for it, and once you finish your copyediting, the PR can begin! SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 14:41, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
Same, also currently busy at the moment but would love to reorganize and rewrite this article. Maybe around the holidays when there's no school, I plan to finish reading the Madonna: A Rebel Life book and then rewrite this article after that. PHShanghai | they/them (talk) 12:31, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
@SNUGGUMS: if I did take this to FAC would you be open to co-nominating (as you've been largely involved). Or would this be more of a Beyoncé? 750h+ 11:43, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
Also pinging @Bluesatellite: to see if they'd want to collaborate 750h+ 11:44, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
Yes, I do wish to be a co-nominator at FAC please, and it would be a good idea to include Bluesatellite as one too. Before we go for it, let's be sure everything is properly archived where possible without the deprecated archive.today links that no longer are feasible to use. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:17, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
Sure. I'm also going through some of the links for charts at the bottom of the article to make sure they verify what is said 750h+ 12:18, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
Hello guys, sorry for delayed response. First of all, major props to 750h+ for revamping the quality of this article, and also to SNUGGUMS. I honestly don't want to take credits from both of you guys. Just go ahead and nominate this one, I will happily support and help whatever I can. Cheers! Bluesatellite (talk) 02:16, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
@SNUGGUMS: fine to nominate? 750h+ 12:53, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
I just made some last-minute adjustments to the page and will finally nominate this now. Fingers crossed that we succeed! SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 16:48, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
