My first review for you in a good amount of time; let's go! --K. Peake 06:53, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Infobox and lead
✅
 * Remove Manhattan from the infobox because this is not a studio nor sourced
 * Pipe Astoria, New York to Astoria, Queens
 * The genre is sourced as house not deep house and disco is only an influence, so switch the first and remove the second
 * Pipe Maverick to Maverick (company)
 * Pipe Warner Bros to Warner Records
 * WP:OVERLINK of Madonna under songwriters
 * "included on her fifth studio album," → "from her fifth studio album,"
 * Add a second sentence mentioning the song's background vocals
 * "The song was written and produced by" → "It was written and produced by both"
 * "it was released" → "the song was released"
 * "Nine years later after its release, "Deeper and Deeper"" → "Nine years after its release, the song" but this release is not directly mentioned in the body
 * Remove the term musically from the lead and write it is a dance-pop and house song with disco and Philadelphia soul influences instead
 * "its bridge features instrumentation" → "the bridge features instrumentation"
 * It is a flamenco guitar featured not acoustic guitars, so alter appropriately
 * Wikilink castanets per this being the article
 * "that it's actually about a" → "that it is actually about a"
 * "was met with positive reviews. Music critics praised" → "received positive reviews from music critics. They often praised" with the pipe
 * "It was also commercially successful; peaking at number seven on the" → "The song was also commercially successful, peaking at number seven on the US"
 * "the Top 10 in several countries including" → "the top 10 in several other countries, including"
 * "while topping the charts in" → "while peaking at number one in"
 * Remove "for "Deeper and Deeper"" after accompanying music video
 * Add a sentence about the video's reception

Background
✅
 * Retitle to Background and recording
 * Img looks good!
 * Remove commas around Maverick
 * Remove wikilink on Maverick Records
 * "book publishing and merchandising division." → "book publishing, and merchandising divisions." per the source
 * Remove commas around Erotica
 * The title of the coffee table book is not sourced
 * Remove "For Erotica" at the start of the second sentence as the previous one established the album is being referenced
 * "to his remixes while Madonna" → "to his remixes, while Madonna"
 * Add release year of the film
 * The filming being finished when they recorded the demos is not sourced
 * "to have a raw edge to it," → "to have a raw edge,"
 * "take it there."" → "take it there"." per MOS:QUOTE
 * "were recording the song Pettibone" → "were recording the song, Pettibone"
 * "who heard it and emulated it, liked how it sounded" → "who heard this and emulated it, liked the sound"
 * The "when we were..." quote does not begin with capitalisation so unless this is a mistake and should have a capital W, remove the colon and place the punctuation outside quotation marks

Composition

 * Retitle to Composition and lyrics
 * The lyrical info on the audio sample text is not sourced
 * "by Madonna and Pettibone," → "by both Madonna and Pettibone,"
 * "keyboard arrangement and programming," → "keyboard arrangement, and programming,"
 * Pipe recording engineers to Audio engineer
 * The genres sentence should be the one directly after background vocal
 * Care to elaborate?
 * Genres are the main musical element of any song, so should come directly after the creation info, i.e production, backing vocals etc. --K. Peake 07:25, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * The single quotation marks for sweeter and sweeter and sweeter need to be closed
 * ""Deeper and Deeper" is a" → "Musically, "Deeper and Deeper" is a"
 * The dance-pop and Philadelphia soul parts are not sourced
 * Sources [3],[9] and [10] back this information
 * I managed to find the Philadelphia soul loose reference, but what source are you apparently using for dance-pop? --K. Peake 07:25, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

✅
 * "inner notes of GHV2 (2001), that they're" → "liner notes of GHV2 (2001) that they are"
 * "It begins with Madonna" → ""Deeper and Deeper" begins with Madonna"
 * "a flamenco guitar and" → "a flamenco guitar, and"
 * [13][5][2] are out of order, not just numerically but also in terms of following the information
 * Wikilink time signature
 * Pipe Alfred Publishing Inc. to Alfred Music
 * Pipe register to Vocal register
 * "It includes, towards the end, a" → "Towards the end, the song includes a"
 * "post-modern twist."" → "post-modern twist"." per MOS:QUOTE

Critical reception

 * Retitle to Release and reception, moving the release info to the start of this section
 * "the singer performing" → "the singer can be seen performing" on the img text and finish the sentence with a full-stop
 * "received generally positive reviews;" → "was met with generally positive reviews from music critics." with the pipe
 * The first review should be its own sentence because it is long enough to not be merged with the intro
 * Fix MOS:QUOTE issues for only partially quoted sentences throughout this section
 * What do you mean? 😅
 * By mentioning this guideline, I am referring to where punctuation is inside quotes when a full sentence is not quoted; take "and house territory." as an early example in this section. --K. Peake 16:01, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

 * "considered it Madonna's" → "considered "Deeper and Deeper" Madonna's"
 * "was "pop that’s" → "is "house and pop that's"
 * "while the latter deemed it" → "while the latter deemed the song" and add more than the sequel part, as you need something actual showing why they liked the song
 * "with Joe Lynch writing:" → "with Lynch writing that"
 * "is also considered" → "has also been considered"
 * "moment, ["Deeper and Deeper"] might" → "moment, 'Deeper and Deeper' might" per the source

Commercial reception
✅

 * "It debuted on the twentieth position of New Zeland's" → "The song debuted on the 27th position of New Zealand's" per the source
 * "in Finland,[66] and the" → "in Finland,[66] as well as the" plus you should specifically mention "top 10" positions first per the lead directly listing those countries and then add something like "further reaching the top 30 in..."

 * [73][15][75][76] are you sure this is the correct order, as the first two appearances are mentioned by [75]?
 * I've placed them in numeric/chronological order
 * That is fine, I just felt confused because they were not ordered in any specific way. --K. Peake 07:25, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * "with a man (Kier) in" → "with a man known as Kier in" since brackets are not needed (if this is his real name, then write called Kier)
 * The man is played by Udo Kier


 * "photographed and watching a stripper (Stefano) perform," → "photographed, and watching a stripper under the name of Stefano perform"
 * "a stripper under the name of Stefano perform" suggests the stripper's name is Stefano; the stripper was played by Joey Stefano (mentioned in the previous paragraph) but the name of the stripper character is never mentioned
 * Oh, this makes equal sense to the previous instance of an actor being mentioned. --K. Peake 07:25, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Final comments and verdict

 * until all of the issues are fixed, but regarding the ones that you have already looked at, it stood out clearly to me that you have not added any relevant text about what the sample demonstrates and this is required to keep it. --K. Peake 16:01, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I have corrected most of the points left; I'm just waiting for his answers on some doubts so I can fix those too--Christian (talk) 22:57, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I have responded to any doubts you had and in the background section, you missed sourcing the book title, removing the second usage of for Erotica, proving the filming had been completed, fixing MOS:QUOTE issues, adding the comma before Pettibone and revising the part about emulating the sound. There may be some issues that you missed in the other sections too, yet I will read through them later since it is appropriate to wait until you have covered the doubts and background section. --K. Peake 07:25, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I look forward to your answers/comments so I can correct them as soon as possible :D --Christian (talk) 13:24, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You have not addressed the additional comments I made above about the background section, furthermore the points where I responded to your doubts have not been implemented. Regarding other problems, you forgot to change inner notes to liner notes, fix MOS:QUOTE issues in comp, pipe Hot Dance Club Play to Dance Club Songs, remove comma before overall, mention what countries top 10 positions were in, introduce the concert as being in Madison Square Garden, fix the live album prose, pipe Warner Bros, change to AllMusic on the ref and wikilink Warner Music Vision. Quite frankly, I am disappointed in an editor as experienced as you having given a sloppy response. --K. Peake 09:49, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I am currently dealing with some personal medical issues that take up time and don't allow me to respond to reviews as quickly as before. That does not mean I am giving sloppy responses. I will get to all the points you have left and correct them as soon as possible.--Christian (talk) 13:44, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I have corrected more and will continue later on after my medical appointment.--Christian (talk) 16:10, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That is good to see you are making progress, however I'm sorry if you felt insulted by my comments; I was not originally aware of your medical problems and I hope you recover soon. --K. Peake 09:37, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That is quite alright :) I have corrected everything I think. Let me know!--Christian (talk) 19:17, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * This looks better now, yet you still need to fix MOS:QUOTE issues in critical reception, specify which countries top 10 positions were in and revise the prose introducing her fifth live album. --K. Peake 06:37, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi there! I have specified the top 10 countries in the "commercial reception" section, fixed the quotations in "critical reception" and switched "in" for "on" in the "live performance" section. Let me know!--Christian (talk) 13:25, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ now, does not look like anything has been missed this time! --K. Peake 14:19, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
