List of Emma Stone performances

Somehow after successfully taking her biography and awards list to featured status, I am renominating her work list for FL status. I withdrew the last nomination after I was disillusioned with the FLC process. – FrB.TG (talk) 20:08, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for now

I'm not sure if this should include roles that weren't part of her professional career in the lead

Removed the name but just a mention of when she began acting would not hurt.

"After small television roles in Medium, Malcolm in the Middle and Lucky Louie, she made her screen debut"..... TV has screens as well; "film debut" would be more accurate
Without establishing a budget figure for Ghost of Girlfriends Past, it's hard to say how financially successful the film was based on its earnings (successful if it earns the total of the budget or higher, failure if it makes less than the budget)
"Further success came for her in the horror comedy Zombieland"..... do you mean commercially for the film or general success for Stone's individual career? It certainly made more than enough to be a financial success. (It's better to use the link I provided than what you have now since it includes budget to help determine commercial success plus the genre).
For Crazy, Stupid, Love and The Help, it again is better to use specific links for the films like these since they actually include genres as well as budgets for determining financial success
"became her most widely seen film with a worldwide revenue of $757 million"..... this is potentially misleading since people can see films multiple times in theaters as well as many instances outside of theaters; it would be more accurate to say "her most financially successful film" or "her highest grossing film"
While I do know that La La Land is a musical, it seems a bit odd to state "The musical is her highest rated film on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes" when you don't previously mention the film's genre
Are the La La Land songs really appropriate for the lead? Even if including any songs in tables (which is rather unconventional for lists of this general nature), I'm not sure she's gotten any particular attention for certain tracks. It also doesn't seem right to have rowspans for the songs here; even if discography pages tend to use those, this isn't a discography article.

Yeah, but the section is discography so.. I also do not like to repeat the same thing over and over (only to increase bytes) when you could do the same thing without making it look repetitive.

Well, it is her works list. Given that she has done that more than once, it should be noted. Besides, it is not her biography where it is not mentioned.

While her role in Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping wasn't credited, something doesn't seem right about listing "Unknown" for her character
Not sure directors are really worth including in the tables, but they certainly don't need multiple links either way

Well, the table is sortable so..

The ref used for Battle of the Sexes doesn't even mention the film, but here is something that does
I'd merge all of the SNL appearances into one listing with multiple years (except for maybe the 40th anniversary special) with a collective "various roles" description to encompass everyone she played

I think it is good the way it is because it is more clear this way - what role she played and when. Denzel Washington on screen and stage is also like that.

It seems too soon to have Maniac listed when her role and its premiere date haven't been announced yet

I'm sure this can be improved in a reasonable amount of time, but I can't support it yet. Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:45, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review. I hope that I addressed your concerns to your satisfaction. - FrB.TG (talk) 16:03, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looking better, but I still don't feel sure directors are needed, and the rowspans from "discography" still shouldn't be here; let's keep it consistent with the other tables by not using them. On another note, I don't think the "replaced Michelle Williams" bit is needed. Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:10, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Directors are not very common in Hollywood filmographies, but they are widespread in Bollywood lists. I think it can prove informative. - FrB.TG (talk) 16:23, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I now support following the improvements. Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:27, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is probably obvious, but why is the list titled "List of Emma Stone performances" instead of "Emma Stone filmography" or something along those lines. Again, there is probably an obvious answer, but I was just curious about this.
I found the sentence about the The New Partridge Family to a little confusing as you describe it as a reality show that produced an unsold pilot, but when I look at the Wikipedia page about this, The New Partridge Family is the pilot. Wouldn't it be clearer just to say Stone made her television debut in the unsold pilot for The New Partridge Family? The way it is currently phrased makes me think that The New Partridge Family and the pilot are two separate entities.
Not sure if this matters or not, but why is the "Voice role" in the "Notes" section for the "Film" table, but "Voice" is put in parenthesis by the character name in the "Television" table. I was just wondering for the sake of consistency throughout the list.

Otherwise, everything else looks solid. Most of comments are just for my own clarification. I will support this nomination once my comments are addressed. Aoba47 (talk) 14:45, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is film, television, video game, music and what not. I don't see any other title more suitable. I have rectified the errors. – FrB.TG (talk) 15:18, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Great work with this list and thank you for your clarification. The title of the list seems appropriate to me. If possible, could you look at my FLC for Private Practice (season 1)? I understand if you do not have the time or interest as it is a busy time of the year. Good luck with this nomination! Aoba47 (talk) 16:03, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I will look at your nomination after I complete my another review at FLC. – FrB.TG (talk) 22:08, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Aoba47 (talk) 22:36, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll contribute later, but the one thing I noticed right away was the Sleeping Dogs reference under video games. As someone who works in the video games wikiproject, I feel like I should mention that Gamerant is not considered a reliable source. In terms of reliable sources, you can use IGN or Paste, although neither of these sources mention which character she played. This AdWeek article mentions her nomination and the character she plays in an offhanded comment, so you could use that. Since it's such a small part of the list, I won't oppose it simply based on that one iffy source, but I do think it should be changed to something more reliable.

Replaced the source. Thanks for the link. – FrB.TG (talk) 22:08, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"reprised in its sequel in 2014 – which became her highest-grossing release" which was the highest-grossing release, the original or the sequel?
"Stone also recorded six songs such as "City of Stars" for the film's soundtrack." ref?

In the main body § Discography.

Fred Wolf and Mark Waters are dabs.

Support. I don't see any issue with this list. Good job! Yashthepunisher (talk) 13:03, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
