I am nominating this for featured list because it is a detailed and neatly formatted list with everything being well referenced. Everything here flows greatly and nothing is repetitive. This is formatted with the proper formatting which is at WP:DISCOGSTYLE. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (contributions) • (let's chat) 23:40, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • The single peaked at number 3 on the Hot 100 chart and was also certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.[1] — delete the ref, cause it is below.

    • If you click the arrows after "Guest singles" and "No.1 Single" in the infobox, it doesn't link me to the sections.
    • "music download" in the "Compilation albums" sections needs to be linked.

    • You could add the one and only video "Live: Inside Job"[2]
    • "Peak charts" column: New Zealand should be ahead Norway.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫T 10:01, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've always wondered about this—alphabetically, should New Zealand come before Norway or NOR before NZ?—indopug (talk) 12:44, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've always done NOR before NZ. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (contributions) • (let's chat) 14:17, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose
  • No list of music videos? There's at least one. More research is needed.
  • There's no need to separate his singles decade-wise.
Comment keeps things organized so there isn't a huge gap in a table with maybe only one or two charts when a song charted in a differenct decade. For example, "Dirty Laundry" is the only single to chart on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, therefore the rest of his singles won't need that column.

  • Shouldn't highlight no. 1 singles in the infobox.
  • MoS errors in the lead: Billboard Hot 100 → Billboard Hot 100. number 3 → number three.
  • Copy-editing: "After five years of absence from new material, Henley's third studio was released in 1989", "Although being his" etc. Needs significant rewriting as well: "features the Top 5 single on the Billboard Hot 100, "Dirty Laundry"", for instance, is completely redundant to the next sentence.
  • Remove "Records" (Geffen Records → Geffen) from the tables.

  • Hmmm, records in the early 80s were released in CD but not vinyl? Really?
done, I wasn't born in the 1980s, so I'm not 100% sure how music was released back then. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (contributions) • (let's chat) 14:17, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • We don't list re-released items, so "The Boys of Summer" (UK re-release) should go.
  • Citation does not support I Can't Stand Still charting at #24 in the US. Chart positions need to be checked throughout.

The above are just an indicative sample of problems in the article. Fixing these specific issues alone will not make the article FL-worthy.—indopug (talk) 13:07, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose for now - intro is really short and completely lacks refs. Nergaal (talk) 04:37, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • "... Eagles ..." or "... the Eagles ..."? infobox caption vs lead. Be consistent.
  • No mention of the guest singles in the lead opening para.
  • It should be made clear that he was a solo artist in parallel with being in the Eagles (if that truly is the case).
  • "on the Billboard Hot 100," not in italics, "Billboard 200" Billboard only in italics, "U.S. Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks" suddenly it's the U.S. Billboard... consistency in format please.
  • " the Top 5 single" 5->five.
  • "—" denotes releases that did not chart -> + "or was not released in that territory".
  • "It's So Easy" 2002 featured single - prove it existed.
  • Music videos is unreferenced.
