Don Henley discography

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)

 * The single peaked at number 3 on the Hot 100 chart and was also certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.[1] &mdash; 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"
 * "Peak charts" column: New Zealand should be ahead Norway.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 10:01, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * I've always done NOR before NZ. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (contributions) • (let's chat) 14:17, 3 April 2011 (UTC)


 * 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)

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

Comments The Rambling Man (talk) 17:43, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * "... 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.
