In the most blunt way possible, I do not think this article meets modern GA standards whatsoever and is in desperate need of a rewrite. There is so much missing information, such as what is actually in the album (see the "Music" sections of something like Master of Puppets), the albums undeniable legacy which tons of sourcing exists for, several unsourced statements and poorly placed quotations (instead of actually paraphrasing the information), and lots more. It is a completely unorganized mess, and unlike some 2008 GAs that are at least somewhat salvageable, I genuinely do not think that this article can be useful to anyone that is not already familiar with The Black Parade, and is seeking a comprehensive, encyclopedic article about the album. The other articles for MCR albums also fall victim to this.
With all of that being said, I love this album to death and I want to attempt rewrite the article to the best of my ability. Over the next few months, I plan on making efforts towards fixing this article, hoping to get the article to modern standards by the time Long Live The Black Parade begins. The reason I write this message here is to give everyone that may be watching/maintaining this article a heads up on what may happen to it over the next few months. Obviously, anyone else is welcome to assist with rewriting the article if they feel up to it. However, if I, or anyone else, don't get around to rewriting it, then I will likely be taking it to GAR instead within a few months based on the issues I have highlighted below. λNegativeMP106:26, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
