I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets all of the FL criteria.

*Oppose until certain criteria are met. There is a huge break in timeline, you do not mention anything, except the names of "Unison" and "Celine Dion", and you don't even mention "Miracle", "One Heart" or "Taking Chances". This a Bias point of view, because your only giving notice to her accomplishments and successes. Why not mention all the other albums? The fact that they were commercial and critical disappointments does not make them exempt from mention.--PeterGriffin • Talk2Me 18:10, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved issues from –Chase (talk) 22:17, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
*Comments:
    • "becoming one of the best selling albums of all time" → "becoming two of the best-selling albums of all time"
    • "after two-year break" → "after a two-year break"
    • "And in March 2003" sentences shouldn't start with "and".
    • Countries should be in alphabetical order, excluding home country - UK and US need to be moved to the end.
    • Why is the article titled "Celine Dion albums discography" yet she is referred to as "Céline Dion" in the lead and infobox? Consistency, please.

Fix these issues and I'll gladly support. –Chase (talk) 20:37, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment. The leading section contains a lot of numbers of album copies sold. It would good if they were also added to the tables. Ruslik_Zero 14:32, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Further comments:
    1. In March 2002, Dion was presented with an award ...' How is this award called? Who gave it to her? This information is important.
    2. According to Sony Music Entertainment, Dion has sold over 200 million albums, worldwide Please, specify date.

Oppose - lead needs overhaul, serious English-speaking copyedit required. Serious reference problems. Surprised and disappointed that two contributors support this in its current state I'm afraid.
  • "over 3 million" three million.
  • "followed by Celine Dion in " would be nicer to be "followed by her eponymous album in"...
  • "one of her six albums certified diamond" - "one of six of her albums to be certified diamond" (and look to link certification as well)
  • " includng United Kingdom," the United Kingdom.
  • "nearly 9 million copies" - nine million. Check all other "less than ten" millions in the lead please.
  • "were major success for" successes?
  • "all over the world" doubt it. More likely "in many countries around the world" or, better still, be specific how many.
  • "S'il suffisait d'aimer " = worth noting this is French language, and according to our own article, the second-best-selling French language album in history.
  • You need to link "holiday album" because that's very US-centric.
  • "late 1999" believe that should be hyphenated.
  • "with the very successful album, " you probably don't need "very successful" when you then go on to say it sold 12 million copies.
  • "the opening of A New Day..." - explain what this is.
  • "During five year run" missing a "the" here?
  • "4× platinum" prose in the lead please, none of this 4x.
  • The first seven albums didn't chart in any territory. Where's the reference that (a) they existed and (b) they were released when you say they were and in those particular formats? Same for first Live album. And first five compilation albums. And "Complete Best" and "Ultimate Box".
  • You use Platinum in the table but platinum in the lead. Be consistent with the capitalisation o certifications.
  • Cassette doesn't need to be capitalised.
  • What's a SACD?
  • Compare ref 3 and ref 18 for the way you denote the author. Be consistent please.
  • Ref 26 ISO dates are incorrectly formatted - should be YYYY-MM-DD, not DD-MM-YYYY.
  • Ref 52, BPI is probably the publisher, not the work.
  • Similar comment for 60 and 61. Check all others.
  • Ref 61 looks like it's French so add that to the ref. So does 91. Check all others. Actually, there seem to be loads of these.

Fixed. SACD is linked by the A New Day Has Come album. --Max24 (talk) 20:49, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
