[edit] Music of Nigeria

recreated from incorrectly archived nom at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Music of Nigeria2

I'm not sure I'm allowed to nominate articles, as I am not really active. I use Wikipedia and often fix typos and the like anonymously, but haven't done any real editing in months. But, I happened to stumble across music of Nigeria and I thought it was quite nicely done and surprisingly comprehensive. User:Guido Dimicelli

I wrote this and have been getting ready to nominate it. Some of the sections are a bit short, so oppose for now. I'll try and expand these tonight or tomorrow, and will hopefully then support. Tuf-Kat 02:10, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
Okay, support. Tuf-Kat 04:09, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
  • Neutral - Im only on the bench by a small margin; there are too many dead links, another picture would help - perhaps of a traditional instruament, and a few more external links. Not too bad though, perhaps a few more weeks and it would be up to scratch. CGorman 21:42, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Tuf-Kat, you should strikeout your intial opposition if you are now supporting it. CGorman 21:43, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
      • I'll see what I can do WRT to pictures and links, though I don't think the lack of other articles is an appropriate objection for this one. Tuf-Kat 23:01, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
        • More external links added. I scoured free photo databases but couldn't find anything even tangentially related to Nigerian music. I went ahead and upped a King Sunny Ade album cover, though. Is this enough to get you off the bench and in the game? Tuf-Kat 17:10, Dec 11, 2004 (UTC)
  • Object. Much of it looks very good. I know next to nothing about music, but the one thing I knew about African music is that it has complicated and unique beats and rhythms. This article mentions that Nigerian music has complicated rhythms in several places, but doesn't say anything more. This seems like one of the most interesting facets of the music, so it seems there should be a fair amount about that here. - Taxman 22:04, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment: This article only briefly mentions Afrobeat, and there's no mention at all of Fela Kuti's legendary club, The Shrine. It's also a real shame there are so many red links in the article. Worldtraveller 22:28, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
