Wikipedia:Featured Music Project/Evaluation

The Featured Music Project process
  1. Evaluate according to the criteria
  2. Edit according to suggestions and add to status page
  3. Ask for a peer review
  4. Nominate as a featured article candidate

Each article on a musician or group of musical performers should be evaluated according to the criteria on the article's FMP page (e.g. Wikipedia:Featured Music Project/Phil Collins). Each section of criteria (e.g. "Sales", "Discography") should be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. If an article passes five or more categories, it should be added to the status page.

The FMP subpage documents the article's progression like an ongoing peer review. Once an article is declared passing under all the criteria, it enters the "polishing" phase, which is sort of like PR. The same subpage is used and more specific comments about individual issues are given, if needed. Once there's a consensus to do so, the article should be nominated for FAC through the normal process by any interested individual.

There are no restrictions on evaluations. Disputes about an article's evaluation should be solved through consensus-building on the article talk page.
